Positive Regulatory Outlook And Defensive Earnings The electricity tariff is set to be decoupled from the government’s purview, with prices to be set on a monthly basis instead of twice a year. While this is neutral to Tenaga’s earnings, it is positive on a cash flow basis. In the longer run, this will pave the way for a higher dividend payout. We upgraded Tenaga to BUY with a higher DCF-based target price of RM16.30. Upgrade the sector to OVERWEIGHT as we seek defensive bets amid market volatil...

Opportunities In A Ringgit Resurgence Environment The sharp ringgit appreciation driven by de-dollarisation and thus a broader reallocation of capital toward emerging market currencies support our view of a moderate upside for Malaysian equities. Key beneficiaries include importers and companies with high US dollar debt, while exporters may face margin pressure.

Set To Benefit From A Healthy Regulatory Period 4 Regime TNB announced a healthy RP4 base capex growth of 30% and maintained a rate of return of 7.3%.

At this stage, we have no further details on demand growth, coal and LNG price assumptions. Current valuation has largely priced in TNB as a key beneficiary...

Government To Award Short-term Power Plant Extensions The government is likely to offer short-term PPAs (two-year validity) to expired gas-fired power plants.

As a pure play, Malakoff will stand to benefit from at least RM100m in cashflow from the extension of its Prai power plant. Maintain MARKET WEIGH...
