3Q13 results provided a glimpse of potential MISC performance ahead especially its offshore division with the maiden contribution from its 50% stake in Gemusut-Kakap floating production system and the forthcoming Cendor FPSO from FY14. In addition, its tank terminal division is expected to see higher earnings as the subsequent phases in Tanjong Bin come into operation. The chemical segment has also turnaround from higher freight rates & lower operating costs, while the petroleum division saw lower losses from downsizing of vessel fleet & improvement in rates. A further improvement in freight rates is expected in FY14 with a Bloomberg survey of analysts forecasting the crude tanker rates for VLCC, Suezmax & Aframax  increasing 27%, 8% & 7% respectively in 2014. The heavy engineering division continued to be a drag on earnings but FY14 will see a sharp turnaround with the huge Malikai tension-leg platform project & the Block SK316 central processing platform job contributing to the bottomline. With all segments showing signs of improvement coupled with a decent valuation of 0.96x p/bk versus 5-year average of 1.39x, it is opportunity to accumulate MISC in the current consolidation phase of the market.

AAX(5238)

RM1.09
ACCUMULATE
RM1.20
Stock has retraced >6% the last 2 weeks on foreign selling and is now holding near its support level at RM1.08. Its price performance has a close correlation with sister company, AirAsia, but occasionally trading with a lag of a couple of days. Recently,  AirAsia corrected from its high of RM2.97 and  bottomed near its support of RM2.60 before rebounding from there. If this correlation continues, which is highly likely as they share similar operating parameters, it is timely to begin accumulation of AAX. Operating metrics of AAX has also improved with oil price down 16% since the end of August and the MYR has strengthen @ 5% over the same period. The Q3 results would see significant improvement from the low of Q2, and this will continue into Q4 which is seasonally the strongest in view of the school holidays & the festive season. AAX trades at attractive PERs of 9.7x for FY14 and 7.3x for FY15 on explosive earnings growth of 87% & 34% for the same 2 FYs due its low base and first mover advantage in the long haul LCC segment.
