KLSE looks resillient

The FBMKLCI gained 10.41 points to close at 1,776.74 yesterday. Its resistance levels of 1,780 and 1,826 may cap market gains, whilst obvious support levels are at 1,748 and1,776.
2013 YE KLCI target raised to 1,840 from 1,815, pegged to 15.5x 12M forward earnings (15x previously), on a further re-rating of Malaysian equities, due to their rising appeal. The re-rating is supported by solid domestic fundamentals – stable macroeconomic conditions, a strong banking system, healthy corporate balance sheets, and continuous corporate earnings growth. Despite gaining 4.2% in just one month after the 13GE and 4.6% YTD, the KLCI has still underperformed its regional peers.

MAHB
Estimate KLIA2 will be ready for operations in end-1Q14, nine months from its latest 28 Jun 2013 target. Project cost could rise to MYR4.3b, up from the original MYR3.9b estimate. Despite this, upgrading the earnings and target price on the premise of higher traffic growth of 6% p.a. in 2014-2020 (from 5% p.a.) and assume MAHB will receive an investment tax allowance (ITA). Once there is a firm date for KLIA2's completion, people will refocus on MAHB's solid fundamentals and the fact that its share price has lagged the World Airports Index (WAI) and regional peers. MAHB is a  BUY, with a DCF-based TP of MYR7.20/share (from MYR6.60/share).


SapuraKencana
While the USD35m offshore installation contract from PTSC is relatively small, it reflects: (i) SAKP's continuous aspiration in growing its regional/global footprint and (ii) improving orderbook replenishment, locally and abroad. SAKP's potential inclusion in the FBMKLCI 30 Index and the possibility of it securing the Petrobras multi-billion contract are two near-term catalysts that will further fuel interest on the stock. Our TP is pegged to 20x FY1/15 PER.
