MAYBANK.KL - Target Price RM6.60

Pakistan’s First Financial Daily yesterday quoted Chairman of Nishat Group (major shareholder of MCB Bank), Muhammad Mansha, as saying that MCB and Maybank are planning to acquire foreign banks in UAE and Indonesia to bring Pakistan into the global financial market.

Strategy:-

Regulatory hurdles. With regard to Indonesia’s single presence policy, Maybank is unlikely to be able to acquire another bank in Indonesia even if it aspired to do so.

Maintain NEUTRAL but have raised our TP from RM6.20 to RM6.60 after pegging a higher PBV of 1.76x on a lower COE of 9.4% but unchanged sustainable ROEs of 10.8%.

My View:-
- Malaysia's EPF and ASB are continously support Maybank share price. Once recovery happen, those Mr. Market will speculate this stock, bring it to new high level. Trader's physiology is looking for lower price (maybank) as target. Maybank's price cheaper than PBBANK, CIMB (Not valuation)
- Maybank Singapore business, is expanding by offer higher Fixed Deposit rate compare to other singapore local bank. Beside, its credit card business, is even more aggresive by offer S$100.00 if you subscribe Maybank Credit Card.

Dow ends mixed after a 2-day rally of 2.6%

After two consecutive days of 100-plus point gains, DJIA took a breather last night (-6 pts to 9725.6) as investors wait for Q3 corporate earnings reports to start rolling in the absence of any major economic news. The earnings season got off to a good start with Aluminum maker Alcoa Inc, the first of the Dow Jones constituent members to report results, beats analyst estimates to return to profitability following three losing quarters, providing a good start to the earnings season. Alcoa also expects global aluminum consumption to increase 11% in the 2H09. We expect the Dow’s mid-term positive trend to stay intact, with the next resistances being 9918pts (recent Sep 23rd high) and the psychological 10,000pts mark which is now only 274pts away. The 30-day SMA line continues to provide meaningful support at 9617pts, having been tested twice last month and proven its resilience on both occasions

News Break...

Astro pays USD250m for EPL, earnings outlook at risk








According to various news reports, Astro will pay the bulk of the estimated USD250m for the Barclays EPL rights for the next three years. The cost of the EPL is said to be nearly double the previous price paid directly to EPSN. In our view, the steep jump in content price for EPL will lead to further price hike in the next 12 months and this is unlikely to go well with subcribers. Recall that Astro recently raised its Sports package price by RM12/user in Aug09. We estimate the higher EPL cost to translate into subscription price hike of RM7-8/user.







We are negative on the stock: (1) Headwinds from higher content cost, slower net additions and easing ARPU will have negative impact on earnings. 53k net subcribers in 2Q10 is the lowest in 2 years. (2) Our DCF derived price target of RM3.20/share implies 5% downside from current share price.

US: Consumer credit fell by US$12bn in August


US consumer credit fell in August for a seventh straight month as banks maintained restrictive terms and job

losses made households reluctant to borrow. Consumer credit fell by US$12bn (5.8% y-o-y) to US$2.46trn.

Global: Gold rise to record shows investors split with banks

Gold’s rally to a record shows commodity investors remain concerned that the US economic recovery will spur

inflation even as Wall Street forecasts and government bonds suggest stable prices. Bullion has jumped 18%

this year, heading for a ninth annual gain, and futures touched a record US$1,049.70 an ounce yesterday amid

rising demand for a hedge against inflation and a weaker dollar. Economists surveyed in the past month expect

US consumer prices to fall 0.5% this year, the first drop in five decades. Demand for gold is increasing as US

government debt reaches record levels and the Federal Reserve keeps interest rates near zero percent.
