MARKET NEWS

The FBMKLCI sank 2.76pt to close at 1,763.11 yesterday as weaker sentiment in the

overnight US market dragged index-linked counters lower. Meanwhile, Asian equities

were mixed, with Japanese equities climbing while Chinese stocks slipped, as investors

weighed economic data and the possible path for interest rates. The MSCI Asia Pacific

Index gained 0.3% to 153.19. The FBMKLCI’s top gainers were Astro Malaysia Holdings

(+2.4%), Genting Malaysia (+2.1%) and IHH Healthcare (+1.9%), while the top losers

were Westports Holdings (-5.2%), Axiata Group (-4.5%) and IOI Corporation (-2.2%). In

the broader market, losers outpaced gainers 505 to 414 with 336 counters unchanged.

Turnover was 2.22b shares valued at RM2.24b.

From the technical perspective, the outlook for the FBMKLCI remains timid as a lack of

catalysts pared down earlier gains. The index formed another “spinning top” pattern

yesterday as the selling pressure has been absorbed. Despite a shaky short-term outlook,

we remain optimistic for the index to recover once the selling pressure normalises. For

now, we expect sideways movement ahead with the benchmark index likely to

consolidate further. Support and resistance levels are as follows:

Support: 1,755,1,729

Resistance: 1,787, 1,800

US stocks made a winning start to the month on Thursday, as investors look ahead to the

release of the monthly jobs report, after the pace of private sector jobs growth surged in

May and with manufacturing activity having topped market expectations. The DJIA

notched up 135pts to close at 21,144.18. The S&P 500 closed 0.76% higher while the

Nasdaq Composite closed at 6246.83, up 0.78%. Rising stocks outnumbered declining

ones on the NYSE by 2,562 to 663 and 33 ended unchanged.

TRADERS’ CORNER

Lion Industries Corporation

(LLB MK) Technical BUY with +19.8% potential return

Last price: RM1.16

Target price: RM1.36, RM1.39

Support: RM1.00

Stop-loss: RM0.995

BUY with a target price of RM1.39 and

stop-loss at RM0.995. Based on the daily

Ichimoku chart, a buying signal was seen

as the stock has been trading above the

Ichimoku cloud. This is supported by the

Heat Wave indicators as the Tenkan-sen,

Kinjun-sen and Chikao span lines are inter-

crossing, which suggest a bullish signal. An

uptick in the RSI and DMI suggests buying

momentum is set to continue in the near

term. We peg our targets at RM1.36 and

RM1.39 in the near to medium term.

Expected Timeframe: 2 weeks to 2

months

Sentoria Group (SNT MK) Technical BUY on breakout with +23.9%

potential return

Last price: RM0.85

Target price: RM0.995, RM1.09

Support: RM0.80

Stop-loss: RM0.795

BUY on breakout with a target price of

RM1.09 and stop-loss at RM0.795. Based

our last BUY call on 6 Apr 17, SNT initially

hit our targets at RM0.925 and RM0.995

before making a pullback to the current

level. On yesterday’s movement, the share

price managed to close above the BBI line

to maintain the bullish momentum towards

the breakout level of RM0.88. This is

supported by the MACD’s bullish crossover

and is consistent with the uptick in the DMI,

which suggests stronger buying momentum

ahead. We peg our new targets at

RM0.995 and RM1.09 respectively in the

short to medium term.

Expected Timeframe: 2 weeks to 2

months.

Lay Hong (LAY MK) Technical BUY on breakout with +17.3%

potential return

Last price: RM0.935

Target price: RM1.06, RM1.12

Support: RM0.875

Stop-loss: RM0.87

BUY on breakout with a target price of

RM1.12 and stop-loss at RM0.87. Based

on the daily chart, LAY has formed a series

of higher highs and higher lows toward the

all-time high of RM0.95. We expect LAY

will continue the upside movement if the

price can penetrate above RM0.95 level.

This is supported by an uptick in the RSI.

Currently, both indicators such as the

MACD and DMI are showing a positive

signal to support the upward momentum.

We peg our targets based on 1.38x and

1.61x Fibonacci Extension level at RM1.06

and RM1.12 in the near term.

Expected Timeframe: 2 weeks to 2

SECTOR

Aviation: Global passenger traffic for April rose by 10.7%,

says IATA. Global passenger traffic data for April 2017 showing that demand

(measured in revenue passenger kilometers or RPKs) rose by 10.7% compared to April

2016, which was the fastest pace in six years, according to the International Air Transport

Association (IATA). In a statement yesterday, IATA said April capacity (available seat

kilometers or ASKs) increased by 7.1%, and load factor climbed 2.7 percentage points to

82.0%- a record for the month of April. It said the strong performance is supported by a

pick-up in global economic activity and lower airfares. It said after adjusting for inflation, the

price of air travel in the first quarter was around 10% lower than in the year-ago period.

IATA estimated that falling airfares accounted for around half the demand growth in April.

Aviation: The redevelopment of Terminal 2 at the Sultan

Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, Selangor, is set to begin at

the end of 2017, said Subang SkyPark Sdn Bhd executive director Tan Sri Ravindran

Menon. The redevelopment project will bring SkyPark Terminal's total capacity to 5 million

passengers per year from 3 million passengers currently, he added. "We are looking

forward to expanding our airport. These developments will have a positive impact on

Malaysia's domestic tourism scene, particularly in the sense of connectivity when it comes

to domestic travel," Ravindran said in a statement today (Source: The Edge Financial

Manufacturing: Production falls for first time in four

months. Manufacturing output contracted in May, the first time in four months, with

anecdotal evidence pointing to a downturn in client demand, according to the Nikkei

Malaysia Manufacturing PMI report. According to the report, the headline Purchasing

Managers’ Index (PMI) dipped below the 50.0 no-change mark to 48.7 in May. “The PMI

signalled a renewed deterioration in business conditions, contrasting with April’s marginal

improvement (the first in over two years). That said, the rate at which conditions worsened

was only modest overall,” IHS Markit said in the Nikkei Malaysia Manufacturing PMI report

Wednesday. (Source: The Star)

FROM THE REGIONAL MORNING NOTES...

1Q17 Results: Entering A Lull Period 1Q17 results were largely in line with our 10.4% earnings growth forecast for 2017, led by

the sector heavyweight - banking. However, 1Q17 also revealed an exceptionally weak

quarter of domestic consumption. We sense that the market has now entered a lull period,

partly dampened by unusual issues (eg abrupt cancellation of Bandar Malaysia and Inland

Revenue going into overdrive). We advocate a slightly more defensive investment stance.

Banking: RHBBank - AMMB Merger: Early Days Of Discussion RHBBank and AMMB made a joint announcement on having received BNM’s approval to

commence discussions for a proposed merger. As discussions are in the preliminary stage,

details are scant. We do not discount the longer term upside from a cost synergies

perspective. However, this will require a certain gestation period with the market likely to

focus on the immediate term earnings dilution. We maintain our SELL call on RHBBank

(Target: RM4.65) and HOLD for AMMB (Target: RM4.90) given the lower share price

downside to our target price.

Westports Holdings: Volume Readjustments Coming Sooner Than Expected (WPRTS MK/HOLD/RM4.06/Target: RM3.80) Westports’ container volumes fell in 5M17. While transshipment in 2Q17 may appear

weaker than expected, the high-yielding gateway growth is commendable. We maintain our

stance that these risks are mostly priced in, noting that uncertainties at CMA-CGM’s

volume realignment have been removed. The Eastbound port calls are set to ramp up by

2H17. Although top-line remains volatile, we see low earnings risk, partly due to tax

shields. Maintain HOLD. Target price: RM3.80. Entry price: RM3.55.
