Highlights of the day
IGB REIT’s initial portfolio comprises 2 properties,
namely, Mid Valley Megamall and The Gardens Mall located at the Mid Valley
City, which have a combined NLA of over 2.5m sq ft. These two malls are
capturing multiple target customer segments due to their size and diversified
tenant mix. At an indicative IPO price of RM1.25, IGB REIT will be the largest
REIT in Malaysia
by assets and market capitalisation upon listing. We recommend a BUY on IGB
REIT with a target price of RM1.37, based on FY13F DPU of 6.71 sen and target
distribution yield of 4.9%.

(Results Review):
2QFY12: Within house expectation
(Downgrade from HOLD to SELL, TP: RM4.48) [download
report]
Excluding 1HFY12 tax incentive of RM87.8m from TM’s normalised PATAMI of
RM406.4m, 1H adjusted net profit of RM318.6m came in within house but below
consensus full year estimates at 47% and 42%, respectively. We reduce our
target price of RM4.78 to RM4.48 after stripping out the capital repayment of
30 sen that has been distributed to shareholders. Despite decent 1HFY12
results, we view that TM’s positive aspects have been fully reflected in the
share price, with growing downside risk from intense competition particularly
in the HSBB segment. Coupled with a
capital downside of 25%, we downgrade our HOLD recommendation to SELL.
