RM6.90
Buy on Weakness
RM7.40
traded down by nearly 7% to a low of RM6.8 from RM7.30 (the closing price prior to the private placement of the new 500m shares at RM7.10) before rebounding to RM6.90 on Friday. All the technical indicators are in oversold territory -  RSI reading of 24%. It is trading within the congestion support band of RM6.75 to RM7.02 which held support in Jan-Mar 2013. While the private placement exercise is dilutive to earnings in the immediate term, we are of the opinion that the benefits of this pre-emptive move which boosts CIMB Tier 1 common equity from 8.2% to 9.7%, far outweighs the short term dilution. This is especialy so amid fears of Fed tapering of its QE programme causing sudden flights of funds/capital from the emerging markets with adverse results on their currencies and raising their cost of funds and equity premium.The timing & success of the placement has already been vindicated with the events that have recently unfolded last week such as the >12% devaluation of the Argentinian peso and the contagion it had on the currencies of the other Latin American countries to Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, South Africa and India, coupled with soaring bond yields of emerging market and peripheral European countries’ debts. Investors may have shunned the capital raising exercise if it is carried out today or demanded a greater discount to compensate for the increased emerging market equity premium from the fears of contagion. Despite its well-regarded management, its leading investment banking unit, strong shareholder backing and a key beneficiary of the ongoing rollout of ETP projects, CIMB trades at a relatively cheaper valuation for FY14 PER & p/bk of 11.2x & 1.5x versus its big cap peers average of 12.2x & 1.9x. BOW in view of the current uncertainty in global markets. TP: RM7.40  (PT)
 
 
 
 
 
IOIPG (5249)
27/1/2014
RM2.85
ACCUMULATE
RM3.30
start accumulation of IOIPG as it has attractive fundamentals with the largest landbank of all listed developers, and is second largest by market cap. It is estimated to have a total GDV of RM100b which is at par to SPSetia and 28% higher than UEMS. This implies a GDV/market cap ratio of 12.6x, just trailing SPSetia's 14.3x but higher than its big cap peers average of 9.3x. Almost all of IOIPG's local projects are township developments which are more resilient and less sensitive to recent regulatory changes. These townships are mainly focused on landed residentials with strong accessibility to rail systems and highways, and mainly owner-occupied in the affordable & upgraders market. It has comparative advantage over its peers in IOI Corp which has 163k of oil palm land in Malaysia. IOIPG has sourced landbank from IOI in the past and due to the cheap land cost, IOIPG's margin is 50-60% compared to its peers 25-30%. It also has almost RM2b worth of property investment assets currently and 3 more in the pipeline, i.e. IOI City Mall, South Beach & Xiamen malls & offices, which provided recurring income and contributed 7% of FY13 group’s revenue, will likely be monetised in 3-5 years. Its overseas projects provide IOIPG the opportunity to diversify and flexibility to response to changes in market conditions. Yet it trades at attractive valuations of forward FY6/15 PER & p/bk of 10.2x & 0.78x respectively. Accumulate with TP: RM3.30 (PT)
