RM5.50

Trading BUY

RM5.80

A play on a strong Q2 and 1st half results ended 28/02/13 from a significantly lower latex price YoY. Latex price is also expected to be supportive for the rest of the year, as after the initial increase towards the end of last year & Jan this year, it dropped precipitously from early Feb. This fall is due to many factors such as the fall in oil prices which resulted in negative sentiment on commodities linked to oil such as biodiesel-related commodities & synthetic rubber. It is further exacerbated by the strength of the USD due to the relative strength of the US economy which convinced hedge funds & other investors to liquidate their commodity portfolio and stayed bearish on commodities in general. In addition, the advancement in technology on extracting oil & gas from shale has potentially turned US into a potential exporter from a big importer of oil due to a higher oil production & the substitution of natural gas as fuel. The other positive factor for TopGlove is the strengthening of the USD vs the MYR – a 1% increase in USD is estimated to increase eps by 9%. For the past 1 month, USD has strengthened close to 2%.

CIMB (1023)

14/3/2013

RM7.11

SELL into strength

RM6.50

After a multi-year bull run from 2008 to 2011, CIMB has been charting lower highs and lower lows since its peak. Recently the stock had a technical bounce from its low of 6.90 to 7.32 in 15 days on relatively thin volume. However, over the last 2 days, the stock gave back 50% of its bounce and broke below a critical neckline support of 7.15. With this weak technicals coupled with a potential sell down from any news or rumours on election, it may be wise to trim on any bounce, and buy back below 6.50. Sell into strength.
