4) Situational:-


TENAGA  -4.25% RM12.60 - Tenaga Nasional's share price fell to a low of RM12.36 on news that it had received approval to take over the 2000MW coal-fired power plant, known as Project 3B. 1MDB will sell its entire 70% stake in Project 3B, a $3.6 billion greenfield 2,000 megawattcoal-fired plant, to national utility Tenaga Nasional Bhd, a Malaysian minister said on Thursday.


TNB has since clarified this evening that it has yet to receive any official notification from the Government in relation to TNB's takeover of Project 3B from 1MDB.


 


5) BJToto


FYE Apr 2015       Tover +22% RM5.29bn   Net +9.3% RM360.1m  EPS 26.7sen


        In line with cons (f) RM362m


The increase in revenue was mainly attributed to the consolidation of H.R.Owen's 12-month results in the current year versus 6-month results consolidated in the previous financial year. The increase in pre-tax profit was mainly attributed to the refund of RM18.0 million stamp duty paid pursuant to the rescission of the share purchase agreement (resulted from the aborted listing of Sports Toto Malaysia Trust on the Singapore Exchange).


As compared to previous financial year, Sports Toto recorded a drop in revenue of 4.3% mainly due to the continued challenging economic and regulatory environment coupled with current financial year had less number of draws. The drop in pre-tax profit of 2.0% was mainly due to higher operating expenses incurred in the current financial year mitigated by lower prize payout. 


It declared a final div of 5sen bringing full year payout to 21.5sen or 6.5% yield.


Despite the current challenging environment we expect the stock to remain well support around current levels based on its attractive yield.


 


6) Market - The continued selling in blue chips could see the KLCI test the psychological level of 1700pts in the near term given the overall uncertainty all round.
