Thailand
Samart I-Mobile – Trade Flash Recommendation: BUY Previous close: Bt1.70 Fair value: Bt5
SIM reported 3QCY13 profit of Bt221.05mn, up a whopping 531.66% y-y as smart phone sales rose to 0.41mn units in 3QCY13 from 0.17mn units in 3QCY12.
In 9MCY13, net profit swelled 763.78% y-y to Bt654.52mn.
We expect SIM to deliver CY13 net profit of Bt868.63mn, up as much as 423.8% y-y.
We call a ‘BUY’ on SIM shares with a CY14 target price of Bt5/share.
MCOT – Company Results Recommendation: BUY Previous close: Bt33.50 Fair value: Bt39.50
MCOT posted weaker-than-expected 3QCY13 net profit, falling 21.5% y-y. The quarterly net profit was a 4.4% below forecast.
The fourth quarter looks better sequentially on seasonally stronger demand and MCOT’s TV programs gathering popularity. However, on y-y basis, earnings would still soften.
We cut down our CY13-CY14 earnings projections. Assigning 15x P/E, we arrive at price target of Bt39.50/share. At current share price, we reiterate a ‘BUY’ call for MCOT.
Thai Airways – Company Results Recommendation: NEUTRAL Previous close: Bt17.70 Fair value: Bt18.10
THAI swung to a massive net loss of Bt6,195mn in 3QCY13 from a net profit in 3QCY12. The quarterly loss was 8.8% bigger than our forecast.
Our forecast also suggests 4QCY13 results will be weaker than 4QCY12 on expectations that passenger yield will remain lower than a year ago and aircraft impairment charges will be booked in 4QCY13.
We leave our CY13-14 estimates for THAI unchanged. In our view, third-quarter loss appears to have already been discounted into the share price. We reiterate a ‘NEUTRAL’ stance on THAI shares with a CY14 target price of Bt18.10/ share.

Hong Kong
Bank of Chongqing – Stable performance growth with the good asset quality Rating: Neutral Closing price: 5.89 Target price: 5.61
BOCQ (or the Group) was listed in H Shares on 6th Nov 2013, which was the first domestic city commercial bank listed in Hong Kong, and the second local listed bank from Chongqing after CRCB. It provides the good beginning for other city commercial banks in future. BOCQ recorded 7.8 times oversubscription and the share price closed below the offering price of HK$6 slightly on the first trading day, but overall, it owns the good operating performance;
Chongqing is the largest in size and the most populous among the four directly administered municipalities in China. Meanwhile, it also designated as one of the five national central cities (including Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangzhou). In 2011, the added value of Chongqing’s financial industry accounted for over 7% of Chongqing’s GDP, only after Beijing and Shanghai, and such portion increased to 8% in 2012. By the end of 2012, Chongqing’s banking penetration was 136%, the lowest among the Big-4, representing a significant growth potential in banking sector;
Among all Chinese banking institutions, the scales in both asset and profit of city commercial banks are smaller than middle and large-sized commercial banks, and according to total assets, their market shares only were 9.2% of total assets of all banking institutions. As at the end of 1H2013, the market share of total assets of city commercial banks recorded 10.4% in Chongqing. Total assets of BOCQ achieved to RMB188.428 billion, increased by 20.7% compared with the end of 2012, and ranked No.5 with the market share of 6.1% approximately. Additionally, BOCQ’s market shares of total loans and deposits were 4.4% and 5.4% respectively, both ranked No.6;
From 2010 to 2012, BOCQ’s operating income increased at a CAGR of 29.5% from RMB2.78 billion to RMB4.66 billion, with a CAGR of 32.1% in net profit. As at the end of Jun 2013, BOCQ’s net commission fees increased strongly by 263.37% y-y to RMB367 million, compared with CRCB’s growth rate of 69.18%;
As at the end of 1H2013, total assets of BOCQ increased by 20.66% to RMB188.428 billion compared with the end of 2012, and net assets grew 15.39% to RMB9.529 billion, with the BVPS of RMB4.71, up 15.39%;
The Group’s net loans increased by 10.9% to RMB83.469 billion compared with the end of 2012 while the deposits increased by 22.4%. The proportion of net loans to total assets dropped from 48% in 2012 to 44% in 1H2013. The loan-to-deposit ratio decreased from 65.99% to 59.79% during the same period. In recent years, BOCQ put some parts of funds into off-balance-sheet businesses to ensure the decrease of the loan-to-deposit ratio and the fully use of capital to gain the stable interest incomes, but the risks of such funds are more difficult to evaluate;
BOCQ owned quite good ability of risk control, and both ratio and the amount of the NPLs are much lower than the peers based on the small base. As at the end of 2010, 2011 and 2012 and 1H2013, the Group’s NPL ratio was 0.36%, 0.35%, 0.33% and 0.38%, with the ratio of allowance for impairment losses to NPLs of 534.0%, 526.7%, 537.7% and 458.3% respectively;
The funds of IPO are mainly used for increasing the bank’s capital, which will ease the capital pressure in the next two years. By the end of 1H2013, BOCQ’s CAR and Core CAR were 12.78% and 9.81%, up 0.42ppts and 0.15ppts compared with the end of 2012 respectively;
In all, BOCQ’s performance maintains stable growth, but the asset quality may trend to deteriorate in future. Additionally, under the current lower valuation of banking sector, according to 3-stage DDM and P/B method, we estimate the 12-m target price of BOCQ would be HK$5.61, around 4.8% lower than the latest closing price, equivalent to 6.9xP/E and 1.2xP/B in 2014 respectively, initially recommend Neutral rating.

Macro Data
USA: U.S. interest-rate swaps fell to the least in more than a year relative to Treasuries as traders sought higher-yielding assets outside of government debt on bets Janet Yellen will keep borrowing costs down. The difference between the five-year Treasury rate and similar-maturity swap narrowed to 10 basis points, the least since Nov. 2, 2012, based on closing levels. The spread shrinks as investors seek to receive a fixed-interest rate on contracts backed by a bank over the relative safety of Treasuries. Singapore: Singapore’s non-oil domestic exports (NODX) rose 2.8 percent y-o-y in October, on the back of strong exports of petrochemicals and integrated circuit parts as it snapped its eight consecutive months downward trend, said the trade agency IE Singapore. NODX stood at 1.2 percent contraction in September. Across sectors, electronics exports fell 1.4 percent, however, this was outweighed by the 4.9 percent increase in non-electronic exports. On a month-on-month basis, NODX jumped 3.2 percent in October. Thailand: The July-September gross domestic product (GDP) rose 1.3 percent as compared to the revised flat reading in the second quarter of the year, the National Economic & Social Development Board said. GDP grew 2.7 percent year-on-year, after a revised 2.9 percent y-o-y expansion a quarter ago. According to Bloomberg, the state agency revised its full-year expansion forecast downwards to 3 percent from a range of 3.8 percent to 4.3 percent projected in August, and said the economy may grow 4 percent to 5 percent in 2014. The agency also slashed its expectations of export growth to zero this year, from an earlier estimate of 5 percent. China: Average new home prices in China continued its rising trend as the October home prices rose 9.6 percent, its tenth straight months of year-on-year increases, according to data from National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). New home prices in China’s four major cities posted the largest gains since January 2011. Hong Kong: Unemployment rate remains steady at 3.3 percent in the three-months to October, as resilient domestic demand kept the labor market stable, the Census and Statistics Department said.

Thailand Thai stocks traded to the upside on Mon on positive external factors after China
unveiled bold long-term economic reforms but domestic political worries in Thailand however limited gains to a mere 0.23%.
US equities gave up some earlier gains on overbought concerns after the Dow industrials broker through the 16,000-point barrier while several market participants kept a wary eye on US economic data and QE prospects.
In Thailand, the market continued to give much weight to domestic political factor. The second and third readings of the Bt2trn borrowing bill for infrastructure development scheme in the Senate enter the second day today while investors are eagerly awaiting the Constitutional Court’s ruling on Senate change due out tomorrow. In a worst case scenario, the court’s verdict may possibly lead to the dissolution of six ruling political parties.
Net foreign selling in Thai shares dissipated and foreign investors turned net buyers of Thai bonds for a second straight day. For this reason, the downside would be more limited. In our view, Thai stocks seem likely to be caught in a tug of war with limited upside and downside ahead of the court’s ruling on the senator related case but there is still room for short-term trading opportunities in companies expected to benefit from the Bt2trn infrastructure loan bill.
Resistance for the SET index is expected at 1435-1445 points and support at 1410-1400 points today.

Indonesia The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) advanced Monday (18/11), as most stock
indexes in Asia traded higher after China announced new outlines for economic restructuring, and with Fitch ratings kept its investment grade for Indonesia. The JCI gained 58.144 points, or 1.34%, to close at 4,393.592. Shares in miscellaneous industry sector led gains that included eight of the 9 major industry groups, followed by basic industry sector and infrastructure sector. The LQ45 index added 14.647 points, or 2.03%, to 736.721. Debt ratings agency Fitch affirmed Indonesia’s debt rating as investment grade, expecting the country’s economy expansion to slow next year as it struggles to narrow the current-account deficit. Fitch maintained Indonesia’s BBB- rating, or the lowest investment grade level. 141 shares advanced and 99 shares declined Monday on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, where 3.02 billion shares worth IDR 3.58 trillion traded on the regular board. Foreign investors’ transactions accumulated to a net purchase of IDR 286.08.

US Investors got less bullish on gold as hedge funds doubled their short holdings just before prices erased a weekly loss and Janet Yellen
pledged to press on with economic stimulus if confirmed as Federal Reserve chairman. The net-long position in gold slumped 37 percent to 55,456 futures and options in the week ended Nov. 12, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show, the biggest drop since February. Short bets climbed to 54,143, the highest since mid-August, from 26,490 a week earlier. Net-bullish wagers across 18 U.S.-traded commodities dropped 12 percent to 576,224 contracts as investors became more bearish on wheat and cut their silver holdings by the most in five months.

The Senate Banking Committee has scheduled a Nov. 21 vote on the nomination of Janet Yellen to be chairman of the Federal Reserve.
The panel vote will set the stage for a full Senate confirmation vote later this year. If confirmed, Yellen, the Fed’s current vice chairman, will become the first woman to lead the U.S. central bank. Democrats hold a two-vote lead on the 22-member committee. Yellen, 67, would succeed Ben S. Bernanke, whose current term ends in January. Senator Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat, led an effort with 20 Democrats to send President Barack Obama a letter in support of Yellen before she had been nominated. Yellen faces opposition from Republicans who disapprove of the Fed’s recent monetary policy. (Source: Bloomberg)
Singapore Economists now expect the government to upgrade its 2013 GDP growth forecast to as high as 4 per cent, when it announces third-
quarter figures on Thursday. Non-oil domestic exports (NODX) expanded for the first time since January, growing 2.8 per cent year-on-year in October - in stark contrast to market expectations of a contraction of 1.1 per cent. The pleasant surprise is the latest addition to recent positive economic indicators, including hearty showings in the purchasing managers' index and industrial production numbers.

The Public Transport Council (PTC) has started a fare review exercise for buses and trains, with a decision on adjustments set to be

It added that this latest fare review would be for this year as well as last year, which was suspended pending the work of the Fare Review Mechanism Committee (FRMC). (Source: BusinessTimes)
Thailand Deputy PM and Finance Minister Kittirat Na-Ranong was disappointed about third-quarter GDP data, which fell short of expectations,
blaming delays in the government’s mega infrastructure projects including the likes of the Bt350bn water management projects and the Bt2trn infrastructure scheme. GDP was however expected to grow by 4.5% next year. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Commerce kept its 2013 export growth target at 1% but growth was expected to accelerate to 5% next year.

The Bank of Thailand forecast bank loans to grow by 12% this year, a slowdown from a year earlier as shrinking purchasing power led to
a drop in personal and credit card loans. The growth rate was however expected to be better than an estimated GDP growth of 3% this year. NPLs might not be a cause for concern. The central bank further said that tight bank liquidity conditions may also intensify competition for deposits. (Source: Krungthep Turakij)
The National Economic and Social Development Board (NESBD) cut its 2013 economic growth forecast for the country for a third time to

Deputy PM and Finance Minister Kittirat Na-Ranong however said Thailand has come back into balance as it reduces dependence on exports. (Source: Thai Rath)

China’s planned economic reforms are poised to reshape the competitive landscape, allowing private companies such as Alibaba Group Holdings Inc. to compete with state-owned banks, and easing the one-child policy to bolster demand for products from Nestle SA (NESN) to General Motors Co. (GM). Plans to change the nation’s financial sector include a new registration system for initial public offerings and allowing qualified private investors to set up small-to-medium sized banks. Tencent Holdings Ltd. (700), Asia’s biggest Internet company, is part of a group applying for a banking license in China. President Xi Jinping’s reforms, which may be the most sweeping since Deng Xiaoping’s liberalization in 1978, are aimed at giving more influence to market forces and loosening government controls. The changes outlined in a 60-point document after a Communist Party meeting last week present opportunities -- and risks -- to companies in almost every segment of the world’s second-biggest economy, which is heading for its weakest annual expansion since 1999.

A $6.6 trillion credit binge during the past five years, encouraged by Beijing policy makers as stimulus to combat a global economic slowdown, now threatens to stoke a debt crisis.

Indonesia Fitch Ratings maintained Indonesia’s BBB- rating. Fitch and Moody’s Investors Service are the two major debt rating agencies that
restored Indonesia’s investment grade status in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Fitch projected the country’s real gross domestic product to expand by 5.3% in 2014, slower than an estimated 5.5% pace this year. “It is due to the adjustment of the external finances, fading consumer confidence, and constrained income from commodities,” the agency said in a release on Friday. Indonesia has struggled to balance its current account - the widest record for a country’s goods and services trade- which has been in a deficit for the past eight quarters due to weak commodities export and strong import to state domestic demand.

Indonesian banks have responded positively to a call from the central bank to slow the pace of their lending growth next year, a move

Australia Australia’s central bank said there was “mounting evidence” interest-rate cuts were working, even as it retained the option of loosening
policy to support growth in an economy battling an “uncomfortably high” currency.

GovernorGlenn Stevens and his board reduced borrowing costs by 2.25 percentage points in the past two years to a record-low 2.5 percent to boost employment-intensive parts of the economy outside of resources, where investment is waning.
