Brokers Report: UEM Sunrise - Lower Margins

Maintain OUTPERFORM with higher target price (TP) of RM1.85




UEMS delivered a lower than expected 3QFY16 net profit of RM36.3m (-23.9% YoY, -33.6% QoQ), primarily due to change in product mix, higher marketing costs, liquidated ascertained damages (LADs) and higher taxes during the quarter. YTD, the Group registered RM94.0m (-49.1% YoY), which constituted c.58% and c.49% of our and consensus full year net profit estimates. On year to year comparison, 9M15 was also lifted by one-off gain. Separately, we understand that the litigation with IRB, whereby the court ruled in favor of IRB and issued UEMS penalty of RM73.8m, is now pending an appeal to contest IRB’s rejection earlier. UEMS believes that it has a strong case, and hence no provision was made as yet. As for launches in FY17, UEMS plans to launch more projects, which among others include Solaris 3, Artisan Hills, St Kilda and Alderbridge. All told, FY16-18 earnings are adjusted downwards by 14%/10%/10% to account for lower margins. Net gearing rose to 0.4x (from 0.3x) due to landbanking. Maintain Outperform and RM1.85 TPhowever, pegged at c.40% to our RNAV.
  • On track to meet sales target. Albeit softer sales in 3QFY16 at RM154m, from RM198m in 2Q, it is still on target to meet its sales target of RM1bn in FY16. Again, the main projects driving sales are Conservatory, Melbourne (RM222m), Laman Melia, Gerbang Nusajaya (RM102m) and Serene Heights (RM84m). Total GDV launched YTD is RM558m, with unrecognized revenue at RM4.1bn (from RM4.3bn in 2Q16). By end-2016, we expect the Group to launch projects such as SiLC 3 (RM500m GDV) and a landed project in Bukit Indah, Iskandar Malaysia (RM114m). Similar to other developers, UEMS has stepped up its marketing campaigns but local sales remain stubbornly weak due to the tough operating environment currently.
  • Potential launches in 2017. While still early, we understand that UEMS has plans to unveil more projects in 2017 with potentially higher sales target (vis-à-vis FY16 sale target of RM1bn), with projects worth c.RM485m from Gerbang Nusajaya while from the central region, projects such as Solaris 3 (RM1.3bn GDV) and Artisan Hills (RM1.6bn GDV) are among the projects to be launched. As for overseas, 2 projects are due to be launched which include St Kilda, Melbourne (c.RM1bn) and Alderbridge, Vancouver (RM1.5bn). We expect Management to offer more clarity on the launches and sales target by early-2017. Remaining landbank is c.13k acres with estimated GDV in excess of RM100bn.

US October Jobs and CPI May Never Be Published, White House Warns as Shutdown Disrupts Data Pipeline

The White House said Wednesday that the October US jobs report and consumer price index are unlikely to be released, marking an unprecedented disruption to America’s economic data system as the government shutdown continues. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that key statistical agencies — including the Bureau of Labor Statistics — halted data collection and publication when the shutdown began, leaving policymakers without crucial indicators needed to assess the economy’s momentum. While some datasets could be reconstructed retroactively, economists have cautioned that the CPI and unemployment rate are among the releases most at risk of being skipped entirely. The BLS has not issued an updated calendar or indicated whether missing releases might be combined into future reports. In previous shutdowns, the agency has restored operations quickly, but officials now face the challenge of incomplete surveys that cannot be reproduced after the fact. Leavitt said Democrats “may have p...

EU Seeks Assurances from US Over AT1 Bond Wipeouts in Future Bank Failures

Europe’s top bank resolution official is seeking clarity from the United States to ensure that  US regulators will not obstruct write-downs of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bonds  during future bank failures, a crucial mechanism used to safeguard financial stability. Background: Lessons from Credit Suisse Dominique Laboureix, chair of the  Single Resolution Board (SRB) , said in an interview that the issue has been raised at the  Financial Stability Board (FSB) , where a working group is “seriously” addressing potential cross-border obstacles. The move follows lingering uncertainty since the  2023 collapse of Credit Suisse , where  AT1 bondholders were fully wiped out  to facilitate the bank’s rescue. With the  Trump administration’s reorientation of US regulatory priorities , European officials are now seeking renewed assurance that Washington will continue to uphold global resolution standards. “You cannot achieve 100% comfort all around the globe wit...

特朗普考虑保罗·阿特金斯接任SEC主席，或推动加密货币监管转型

据彭博社报道，美国候任总统唐纳德·特朗普正在考虑由 保罗·阿特金斯 （Paul Atkins）接替即将卸任的证券交易委员会（SEC）主席 加里·根斯勒 （Gary Gensler）。阿特金斯以其支持数字资产的立场闻名，这一任命可能为SEC的加密货币监管政策带来重大转变。 事件概况 阿特金斯的背景 ： 阿特金斯曾在乔治·W·布什政府期间担任SEC专员。他一直推动制定明确且平衡的加密货币法规，力求为金融科技创新提供支持。 行业经验 ： 离开SEC后，阿特金斯领导了 Patomak Global Partners ，一家为主要金融公司提供咨询的机构。他主张简化监管流程以鼓励创新，同时确保市场完整性。 其他候选人 ： 马克·乌耶达 （Mark Uyeda）：现任SEC专员 希斯·塔伯特 （Heath Tarbert）：前商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）主席 罗伯特·斯特宾斯 （Robert Stebbins）：Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP合伙人 特朗普的亲加密货币立场 特朗普承诺终结根斯勒领导下的SEC“反加密货币运动”。根斯勒的任期因FTX崩盘等丑闻后的强力执法而备受争议，被批评为给行业带来了不确定性。 阿特金斯的潜在任命与特朗普的目标一致，即在保障市场完整性的同时，通过更加友好的监管政策推动数字资产的发展。 接下来会发生什么？ SEC主席的任命预计将在未来几天内敲定。如果阿特金斯接任，这将表明SEC将采取更注重创新的监管方式，为加密货币行业带来更大的确定性和发展空间。
