We reiterate our long-term positive view that PTTEP will post positive sales volume growth of 3% CAGR during 2023-27 on the back of better contributions from its Erawan G1/61 gas field and major projects including the world’s second-largest LNG Mozambique, as well as the SK410B project, a world-class, large-scale project in 2027. PTTEP, OR and SPRC remain our sector top picks. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt195.00.
OR posted a net profit of Bt701m in 3Q22, in line with our forecast but below consensus estimate of Bt2.1b. The qoq decline in earnings was mainly due to lower earnings contributions from all business units, including mobility, lifestyle and global businesses. Going forward, we expect core earnings to improve in 4Q22 on the seasonal high in petroleum sales volume and a potentially higher marketing margin. Maintain BUY. Target price: Bt33.00.
Due to the COVID-19 situation in China, the deteriorating global economy and a high base, we now expect automation names to report weak results in 2Q22. New orders growth remained strong, but we see a clear divergence among different products with industrial robots significantly outperforming other machine tools and upstream components. The bright side is that the chip supply shortage is easing which should help relieve the cost pressure. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.

Our survey of regulations around the globe indicates a transition from blanket restriction to a bank-by-bank assessment in regulating dividend policy in 2021. It is not a question of whether restrictions of dividends will be eased, but a question of when. Assuming MAS does not interfere with banks’ dividend policy, we expect DBS (BUY/Target: S$26.75) and OCBC (BUY/Target: S$13.48) to provide dividend yields of 4.3% and 5% for 2021F and 5.2% and 5.6% for 2022F respectively. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

Petronas Plans For 21% Capex Cuts, But We Think This May Not Be Enough Petronas’ 1Q20 results are beginning to reflect low prices and COVID-19-induced demand. While it strives to protect local capex, the capex/opex cut plans of 21%/12% (suggesting ~RM17b savings) and US$6b bond proceeds are insufficient to protect against a perfect storm of challenges. As Petronas had been slow to implement cuts, we think contract deferrals are likely to increase sector earnings risk despite an oil price recov...
Turnover climbs 16% y/yIn its recently released unaudited FY’19 results, MOBIL grew its turnover 16% y/y to ₦192 billion, while its after-tax earnings declined 5% y/y to ₦9 billion. Despite the impressive growth in FY’19 turnover, gross profit came in flat at ₦16.6 billion, as gross margin worsened to 9% (FY’18: 10%)— highlighting the lean margins in the downstream space. Meanwhile, rental income from the company’s real estate property dropped 7% y/y to ₦8.0 billion, bringing FY’19 opera...
While the FSSTI performed reasonably well in 2019, it paled in comparison to other developed markets in Asia and globally – even the protest-hit Hang Seng Index bettered the STI by a few percentage points. Heading into 2020, we advocate an approximate 60:40 defensive/large-cap strategy vs a growth/small-cap strategy. We forecast 4.3% EPS growth for our UOBKH universe of Singapore-listed stocks, and have a year-end target of 3,370 for the FSSTI (or 4.5% upside from current levels).
Rental income supports profitability in Q3MOBIL released its 9M’19 results yesterday, reporting a 13% y/y growth in turnover to ₦141.5 billion over the nine-month period. However, 9M’19 after-tax profit declined 19% y/y to ₦6.3 billion, dragged by the persisting lean margins in the downstream industry. Notably, gross margin fell to 8.1% in 9M’19 from 10.2% y/y in 9M’18.Margins have remained predominantly weak since 2017 when the NNPC emerged as the sole importer of regulated fuels in the cou...
