GASMSIA (5209)

A solid defensive stock with strong free cash flow & earnings CAGR of 8% for FY14 – FY16. This is derived from a higher supply of gas from parent, Petronas, arising mainly from the new Malacca regasification plant. Management has also secured customers for 80% of this additional supply coming in.  Co is debt free and mgt has guided that capex has already peaked in the last couple of years, hence the stock is expected to provide attractive dividend yield (consensus FY15 & FY16 dividend yield of 4.6% & 4.9% respectively). In addition, GasMsia has very low foreign shareholdings, a good stock to provide diversification against any exit of foreign funds from emerging or smaller cap markets. Accumulate

A potential M&A play with Maybank’s leading position being threatened by the proposed merger of CIMB, RHBCap & MBSB. AFG’s major shareholder, Vertical Theme (29% stake in AFG), has been touted for quite some time to be a seller at the right price. AFG is also backed by good fundamentals in the event the M&A angle does not play out. It is attractively priced at PER of 11.9x & p/bk of 1.65x for FY3/16. It will also performed better than its peers in an increasing interest rates environment as only 10% of their total loans are fixed-rate loans & 34% of its total deposits are current & savings accounts. AFG has one of the highest capital ratios in the industry which allows the bank to pay out 60% of their earnings as dividend. This is equivalent to a generous 4.8% dividend yield for FY3/16.
