AIRASIA (5099)
7/4/2014
RM2.39
BUY
RM2.77
Stock has corrected 6% in one week and is now near its support level at RM2.37/35 level. This is despite improving fundamentals from lower jet fuel cost which has retraced >6% in 2 months from USD125.10/bbl to USD118.50/bbl currently. MYR, Indonesian rupiah & the Thai baht have also strengthen by 2.6%, 7.8% & 1.9%  respectively versus the USD over the same period. These will greatly assist to reduce the costs of AirAsia & its associates when yields are sticky on the upside. Analysts have estimated that a 10sen strengthening in the MYR vs USD will  improve the bottomline by 7%. AirAsia is also likely to gain market share at the expanse of MAS in view of the MH370 mishap. AirAsia trades at decent valuation with forward PER of 9.3x & 7.9x for FY14 & FY15 respectively. The current weakness is an opportunity to accumulate the stock.

TENAGA (9261)  
7/4/2014
RM11.34
ACCUMULATE
RM12.30
Following a downgrade report by a foreign house, the stock has retraced close to 6% in 3 days with technical indicators oversold - RSI 29% &  wide divergence on the macd. Tenaga managed to hold above its longer-term support of RM7.23 (SMA100) & critical 76.4% retracement of RM7.22 which indicates a potential bottom and support surfacing from long-term funds. Potential positives for Tenaga are fuel costs are expected to drop significantly now that the major maintenance exercise has been completed for the Tanjong Bin coal-fired power plants as using coal as fuel is significantly cheaper than the current market LNG prices for gas volume supplied by Petronas exceeding 1,000mmsscfd. In addition, Tenaga will benefit from the continued depressed price of coal from global oversupply and countries adopting clean energy initiatives to reduce pollution. The next review for the fuel-cost-pass-through tariff is in June and will heighten interest & serve as a rerating catalyst for the stock. Tenaga’s valuation at PER 11.9x & 11.0x for FY8/15 & FY8/16 is attractive for a core big cap. Accumulate
