CIMB (1023)

CIMB
As sentiments on the M’sian market in the immediate term are bearish and charts are ugly due to the fear of the general election being called soon. It is binary in nature coz if there’s a denial, and then there will be a sharp rebound with liquidators at current level regretting their decisions. Hence, cash neutral positioning may be an easier call with this paired trade - accumulate CIMB on weakness and sell Maybank to fund this acquisition. This is due to the following reasons:
1)      At 7.17, CIMB has retraced 9.4% from its recent high of 7.91 while Maybank (at 9.13) is 1.3% from its high of 9.25
2)      Both are financial big cap GLCs hence logically should have the same risk if there is any change in the ruling govt (probability is small at this juncture). But market is currently pricing CIMB as having a higher risk profile. This perception is not realistic as CIMB is controlled by Hashanah, the govt investment arm, hence assured of govt support no matter which political party is the ruling govrt.
3)      With the government pump-priming projects, there will be significant cash raising activities in the capital market. CIMB will be better equipped to take advantage of this situation with their strength in the investment banking and fixed income division.
4)      CIMB has better coverage and traction from the regional markets and hence would be in a position to take advantage of the increased volume and activities brought about by the recent stimulus from central banks & govts.
5)      Normally, CIMB trades at premium valuation to Maybank but currently CIMB is cheaper with PER of FY12 & FY13 of 12.5x & 11.1x versus Maybank’s 13.5x & 12.5x.

SPSETIA (8664)
12/9/2012
RM3.57
BUY
RM 3.86
SPSETIA (RM3.57) - the stock is showing signs of moving off its lower end of its trading range after touching RM3.49 a month ago. With recent clarity on the Battersea Power Station Project, investors are more comforted on the project and the value enhancement to the group. Recall that it holds a 40% in BPS with Sime 40% and EPF 20%. The 39 acre site was acquire for 400m pounds or a reasonable 235 pounds/sq ft. With a GVD projection of 8-10bn pounds, this would substantially boost SPSetia’s already significant group GDV of RM55bn. We believe the share price will at least be maintain above these levels ahead of a proposed 15% private placement to help finance BPS. Domestic launches have continued to consistently meet strong demand despite its founder further paring down his stake in June. BUY on expectations of the group reclaiming its premium position as the Malaysian property market leader. Initial target of RM3.86.
