Technical Stock Alert;



PPB (RM15.20) - Stock has been on a downward slump since achieving a high of RM19.58 in Sept 2010. The downward channel looks likely to continue with a medium term target of RM14.00. The current bleak outlook in China coupled with weaker outlook for Wilmar will be reflected in its 2Q numbers due late Aug. Its ability to payout higher dividend will also be impacted by the recent expansion and higher capex spending. Valuations remain high at 19.3x. Trim



Crestbuilders (RM1.06): CBH has lost some 12% from it's recent high of  RM1.19 ( July 2 2012). We believe CBH is at it's inflection point, with re-rating catalyst as it moves from it's traditional business construction business into property development via it's Prasarana awarded redevelopment project of the Dang Wangi LRT station worth a GDV RM1b. This is the 1st major award from Prasarana "rail plus property"

project, involving a total of 40-50 available MRT/LRT station sites. We like CBH's ability to secure such a catalytic project & expect more to come. Upon finalizing the financing structure, we expect the group to lock in more "rail plus property" projects. It was also reported that CBH is close to securing the MRB's land development in Jalan Ampang, GDV RM1b. Given it's track record of developing quality high rise properties such as Menara Worldwide, Menara Binjai, The Residence TTDI & Twins Damansara, CBH has it's strength in property development, but may lack the ability to market it. Trading at FY12 2013 PE of 7.1x, RSI at 41, BOW.
