Both the daily & weekly charts are exhibiting persistent negative divergences between its price & its technical indicators which indicates decelerating momentum and an imminent correction. PBBank has clearly outperformed the KLCI by >4x based on its ytd performance of +9.2% vs the KLCI +2.1% while the historical beta of the stock vs the KLCI is only at 0.67, hence a reversal to the mean is highly likely as PBBank’s performance is now extremely skewed. PBBank’s 1H2013 loan growth was mainly driven by retail loans (86%), of which housing loans grew at 16.6% vs total loan growth of 5.9%. These sectors are subject to high policy risk with expectations of further curbs to the property sector and the reduction of subsidies & implementation of GST which will affect consumer sentiment & retail spending. While, we acknowledge that PBBank is top in its class, the fundamental disparity has been further exaggerated by the sharp correction of its peers resulting in its premium becoming too excessive – PBBank’s prospective PER & p/bk of 14.5x & 3.2x respectively compared to industry average prospective PER of 12.3x & p/bk of 1.8x.

AIRASIA (5099)
4/9/2013
RM2.56
ACCUMULATE
RM3.00
Stock is down 23% for the last 2 months due to the sell-off in the Asean markets & disappointing 2Q13 results. Airasia is expected to perform better in 2H13 because of the dissipating uncertainties from the general elections & the Lahat Datu incursion, and also seasonally more public holidays travelling. This will increase the load factor & improve its yield as less discounting is required to fill the planes, hence improving its bottom line. AirAsia currently trades at an attractive forward PER of 9.3x which compares favourably against its 5-yr average PER of 10.6x. The stock is oversold with RSI of 25%. It has achieved its downside objective of RM2.46 after having broken down from its head & shoulder formation at RM3.00. Accumulate
