Kossan Rubber RM3.47: We believe Kossan is poised for a good 2013, possibly a re-rating, on the back of improving fundamentals in the sector. Latex prices has been stable, USD has been strengthening and the dynamics of supply/demand in the sector has been improving. Even concerns about cost impact from minimum wages & potential natural gas price hikes has been downplayed, by cost pass-through, technology improvement & weaker MYR arguments. As for Kossan specific, management has indicated there could be potential corporate exercises to improve liquidity of the shares ( bonus / warrants) as well as potential business ventures in Indonesia. We see Kossan as an excellent proxy to these improving fundamentals, due to its cheap FY13 PE valuation of 9.3x versus sector’s 12x – Buy (TP RM3.94, FY13 PE 10.5x).

Trading SELL
RM12.20
UMW RM13.22: Stock has outperformed the FBMKLCI by c14% ytd, on the back of strong Toyota sales, performances from the O&G & Equipment divisions & the potential listing of its O&G division in 2013. We believe the current share price has fully factored in these positives. On the other hand, there is potential headwind in the auto sector as competition heats up (aggressive price discounting, new models by competitors) may see margins reduced as Co attempts to retain market share. We also think the appeal of the O&G listing has been priced in. Group is trading at 14.1x FY13, above its 5-year historical average of c12x. Thus, we see limited scope for further meaningful upside in 2013; Trading sell, with buyback closer to RM12.20.
