TV signal interference flares tempers

Satellite set-top box operators called on the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) to act as a middleman to solve technical problems between Thaicom Plc and CAT Telecom, which has disrupted signals for many channels. After the Thaicom 6 satellite was launched on Aug 1 via the temporary satellite AsiaSat, many TV channels began changing their signal transmissions from Thaicom 5 to Thaicom 6. Channel 7 and Channel 11 (two free TV channels) began the exodus last Saturday, while satellite TV channels on RS Sunbox and GMM Z set-top box systems followed on Sunday. Viewers using the satellite TV systems provided by PSI Holdings, Infosat, and Dynasat cannot watch these channels. Some 64% of 22 million households in Thailand watch TV via satellite systems, reported Nielsen Company. An industry source said the problem is caused by signal interference. (Bangkok Post) Golden Land plots fresh start

SET-listed Golden Land Property Development Plc aims to clear its non-performing assets (NPAs) and build a new team

before resuming fast growth next year. President Thanapol Sirithanachai said the company wants to sell non-core properties

and all NPAs by 2014 as it needs to focus on commercial and residential property business. "We have not set any business

target this year so that we can spend time restructuring the organisation and building our management team to prepare for an

aggressive move in 2014," he said. The company's non-core assets and NPAs are valued at 1.2 billion baht. Its key non-core

asset is the Panorama Golf and Country Club on a 2,090-rai plot in Sikhiu, Nakhon Ratchasima, worth 693 million baht. Its

NPAs include large vacant plots in many locations including 118 rai in Krabi's Nong Thalay, 212 rai in Prachuap Khiri Khan's

Thap Sakae, 40 rai in Rayong's Ban Chang and 30 rai in Chiang Rai's Chiang Khong. (Bangkok Post)

SCG Paper, NPI collate deal

SCG Paper, the pulp and paper business unit of Thailand's largest industrial conglomerate, has joined hands with Japanese

paper manufacturer Nippon Paper Industries (NPI) to boost its competitiveness and secure a leading position in Asean. A

memorandum of understanding was signed yesterday. Kan Trakulhoon, president and chief executive of SCG Group, said

NPI will be allowed to hold a 30% stake in SCG Paper's fibrous chain business. The transaction is expected to be concluded

in the second quarter next year. The partners previously co-invested in a 43,000-tonne-per-year machine-glazed paper plant

worth 2.2 billion baht. The plant is under construction and is expected to start up in mid-2014. "This partnership between SCG

Paper and NPI will create an effective synergistic platform that enhances production efficiency, new product development,

marketing and the sales network," Mr Kan said. (Bangkok Post)

CP in running for Hong Kong's ParknShop supermarket chain

Dhanin Chearavanont, Thailand's richest man, is moving towards placing another piece in the jigsaw as he grows his retail business regionally, with Charoen Pokphand's bid for Hong Kong's ParknShop supermarket chain. Dominating the convenience-store segment in Thailand through CP All, which operates about 8,000 7-Eleven outlets, Dhanin has set his sights on expanding throughout Asia with the ParknShop brand. CP All, Dhanin's retail arm, in April spent Bt189 billion to take over Thailand's leading cash-and-carry wholesale business, Siam Makro, which would mainly be used as a new distribution channel to export products from small and medium-sized enterprises as well as agricultural goods, such as fresh and frozen produce, to ASEAN countries. A retail expert who declined to be named said Charoen Pokphand Group's bid for Hutchison Whampoa's chain of ParknShop stores would allow CP to have a larger retail network in the region. (The Nation) Tourism remains bright spot amid economic gloom, experts say

The outlook for tourism, a key industry helping to prop up the Thai economy, is still bright despite the global and national economic uncertainties, according to economists. Thailand is still one of the top value-for-money destinations in the region. To cash in on the creation of the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015, the country should link up with neighbouring nations while positioning itself as the hub, observers say. The government's goal of Bt2.2 trillion in tourism revenue by 2015 will not be difficult to attain. According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the country will welcome 24.5 million foreign visitors this year. Associate Professor Somjai Phagaphasvivat, a former senator and former vice rector of Thammasat University, said yesterday that the world's economic trend in the second half of this year would be positive, especially for the three biggest markets - Europe, the United States and China. In Europe, the austerity measures are producing results. However, for the whole year, the region will suffer a decline. (The Nation) Thailand 'still attractive'

Kingdom's fundamentals intact, good for long-term investment: expert Thai and Asian stock markets would be under downward pressure for a while, but Thailand remains an attractive destination for long-term investment, Jason Cox, co-head of Asia-Pacific global capital markets at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, said in an exclusive interview to The Nation. Though the stock market fell steeply in the past week and the baht also weakened on capital outflows from emerging economies, Cox sees this situation as a technical issue rather than a weakening of economic fundamentals. The National Economic and Social Development Board reported that the Thai economy was entering technical recession after contracting for two consecutive quarters on a quarter-on-quarter basis. The Commerce Ministry revealed that exports had contracted 1.5 per cent in July, while the Bank of Thailand reported that the current-account deficit in the second quarter was equivalent to 5.1 per cent of GDP.

Economic Highlights

India: Rupee’s Plunge Prompts Refiner to Embrace Iran

India is increasing imports of crude oil from Iran as policy makers risk flouting U.S. trade sanctions in their scramble to halt the

slump in the rupee. Mangalore Refinery & Petrochemicals Ltd. (MRPL), India’s biggest buyer of Iranian crude, plans to buy five

cargoes of 85,000 metric tons each this month, compared with three in August, Managing Director P.P. Upadhya said in an

interview. Shipments from the world’s only producer that accepts rupee payments for oil are estimated to rise to 4 million tons

in the year ending March 31, versus 3.9 million tons in the previous 12 months. India is among a few countries eligible for a

waiver of a U.S. law that imposes financial sanctions unless they can show they have “significantly reduced” purchases from

the Persian Gulf country. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is seeking options to revive the $1.8 trillion economy, which relies

on imports to meet 80 percent of its energy needs, as he struggles to stem capital outflows that have weakened the rupee by

17 percent this year against the dollar. (Bloomberg)

India Slowdown Pressures Singh to Bolster Lowest BRIC Reserves

India’s weakest economic growth since 2009 escalates pressure on the government to increase the smallest foreign-exchange

reserves among BRIC nations, as policy makers struggle to contain a sliding rupee. The reserves have dropped 13 percent to

$278 billion since a peak in 2011 and are equivalent to less than seven months of imports. Bank of America Merrill Lynch

estimates India needs as much as 10 months of import cover for currency stability, a figure still about half the average in Brazil,

Russia and China. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s potential options to shore up confidence in the rupee include issuing

India’s first dollar sovereign bonds, a deposit program to tap the country’s diaspora and bilateral currency-swap agreements.

Boosting reserves could avoid the need to support the currency with further interest-rate increases that risk damaging efforts to

revive investment. (Bloomberg)

Asia: Worst Is Over for Asia’s Emerging Markets

The worst may be over for Asian emerging markets, according to Nomura Holdings Inc. (8604), after investors pulled billions of

dollars last month on concern the U.S. Federal Reserve will start cutting back bond purchases. The outlook for Asian emerging

markets remains “very positive” over the next 5 to 10 years as the amount of investments by funds in these countries will likely

have to catch up with the growing size of their economies, he said in Singapore on Aug. 30. A gauge of Chinese manufacturing

index rose to its highest level in 16 months in August as new orders jumped, adding to evidence that growth in the world’s

second-largest economy is strengthening after a two-quarter slowdown, according to a government report over the weekend.

The Philippine economy expanded above 7 percent for a fourth straight quarter in the three months to June, a separate report

showed. The positive outlook for Asian emerging markets provides an opportunity for Nomura outside Japan, a key market,

Ashley said. The number of Nomura clients in Asia ex-Japan for the global markets division doubled in the past three years, he

said. (Bloomberg)

U.K.: U.K. Manufacturing Surges as Euro-Area Recovery Builds

A U.K. factory index increased to a 2 1/2-year high in August, while a pickup in Italy and Spain helped euro-area manufacturing

expand faster than initially estimated, evidence the region’s recovery is building momentum. The British gauge climbed to 57.2

from 54.8 in July, Markit Economics said today in London. That’s above the 50 level signaling growth. Markit’s euro-area

factory measure rose to 51.4 from 50.3 in July, it said, above an estimate of 51.3 published on Aug. 22. Two indexes of

manufacturing in China also rose in August. Strengthening global factory activity is helping exports and the U.K. improvement

suggests the economy picked up momentum into the third quarter after gross domestic product grew 0.7 percent in the

previous period. The Bank of England will probably keep policy unchanged this week amid growing investor doubts that

Governor Mark Carney and officials can keep the benchmark interest rate at a record low for three years. (Bloomberg)

Indonesia: Indonesia’s Trade Gap Widens to Record as Inflation Quickens

Indonesia unexpectedly reported a record trade deficit while inflation accelerated further, renewing pressure on policy makers

as they grapple with a slumping currency. Stocks and the rupiah fell. The trade gap in July was $2.3 billion, the biggest on

record, according to the Statistics Bureau, and exceeding all 16 estimates in a Bloomberg survey. Consumer prices rose 8.79

percent in August from a year earlier, a separate report showed. The increase was the greatest since January 2009, and

compared with the 8.95 percent median in a survey. The numbers showed the challenge for Indonesia, which joins emerging

economies from Brazil to Turkey and India in taking steps to support currencies as the prospect of reduced U.S. monetary

stimulus spurs a sell-off in their markets. Bank Indonesia raised its reference rate by half a percentage point at an unscheduled

meeting last week, while the government said Aug. 23 it will allow more mineral exports this year and increase a luxury-goods

tax to narrow the trade gap. (Bloomberg)

Thai Oil (TOP)’s share price has declined to an attractive level that does not reflect the strong fundamentals of its refinery and petrochemicals divisions. We expect stronger earnings for both these units over the next six months as we enter into the festive and winter seasons. We upgrade TOP to BUY (from NEUTRAL), with our TP unchanged at THB69.14, based on 1.5x 2013 P/BV.

Upgrade to BUY. We believe TOP’s current share price is a good entry

point for investors as it has declined to attractive levels, offering a decent dividend yield of 4%. The stock is trading at 9x P/E and 1.2x P/BV, compared to regional trading multiples of 69x P/E and 1.89x P/BV respectively. As TOP is now below its mean SD of 1.5x P/BV, we believe it should be moving towards its mean SD trading band over the next 3-6 months. We upgrade the stock to a BUY, with a THB69.14 TP, based on 1.5x 2013 P/BV.

Fundamentals improve in 2H13. We believe TOP's fundamentals will

improve in 2H13. As fluctuating tensions in the Middle East will keep crude oil prices on the higher end of our expected range of USD100-110/bbl for the remaining part of this year, this should lead to stock gains for the refineries. The seasonally higher demand for refined products has improved the refining spreads of each product (quarter to day). Paraxylene (PX) spread is stronger than expected, due to the delay in the start-up of some PX plants around the region. Benzene spreads are expected to soften slightly due to lower plant turnaround within the region, while lube base spreads are supported by low high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) prices. All of TOP’s plants are expected to run at optimal capacity in 2H13.

Constant improvements. TOP constantly looks to improve its existing

facilities and seeks investment opportunities domestically and regionally. It is revamping several of its plants in 2013, boosting efficiency and product yields. Total capex is forecasted at USD1.7bn for 2013-15, with the largest cash outflow of USD629.8m in 2013. It is also looking at strategic investment potential in three countries: Myanmar, Vietnam and Indonesia.

Upgrade to BUY TP maintained.

We believe the current share price, at 9x P/E and 1.2x P/BV, is a good entry point for this company as it also provides a decent dividend yield of 4%. In comparison, the regional trading multiples are 69x P/E and 1.89x P/BV. TOP is now trading at below its mean SD of 1.5x P/BV but we believe it should be moving towards its mean SD trading band over the next 3-6 months. Fundamentally, we expect 2H13 earnings to be boosted as a result of stock gains from higher crude oil price (relative to 2Q13), improved gross refining margins and relatively stable petrochemicals business. We upgrade this stock to BUY, with a TP of THB69.14, based on 1.5x FY13 P/BV.

Improving fundamentals in 2H13

Elevated crude oil prices on Middle East tension volatility. We believe that the

on-again-off-again Middle East tension will keep crude oil prices on the higher end of our expected range of USD100-110/bbl for the remaining part of this year. Fundamentally, the rapid rise in crude oil prices will cause a narrowing of petrochemical margins, as costs rise faster than the end-product prices. However, as demand for petrochemical products is projected to remain healthy for the rest of this year, we believe that overall end-product prices will also increase to reflect the higher costs, thus leveling the petrochemical margins for this year.

Crude oil price up, stock gains. Crude oil settled at USD100.2/bbl at end-2Q13.

We expect prices to end higher in 3Q13. Crude oil prices had already edged up to USD108/bbl, as 3Q is a seasonally stronger quarter and as tensions in the Middle East brews up again. We expect stock gains to be recorded in 3Q13 and if the Middle East tension does not simmer down, there will be potentially more gains in 4Q13. We forecast an average crude oil price of USD105/bbl for the full year, without taking into consideration the impact of the Middle East tension.

Product spreads up, improved refinery earnings. Product spreads to Dubai for jet,

diesel and gasoline have all edged up quarter to date. This should lead to overall improvement in TOP’s gross refining margin (GRM), as these three products make up as much as 74% of its total refinery output. The improved product spreads was a result of steady high demand during summer in Europe, Middle East and US. Moreover, there were also refinery outages in India and Taiwan from end-May to August.

Petrochemicals margin relatively stable, hence stable earnings. Paraxylene-

ULG95 spreads were stronger in 3Q13 than expected. This was a result of continued strong demand for polyester in Asia and as the commissioning of new PX plants are delayed due to technical issues. Benzene spread is expected to be softer in 3Q13, with higher supply coming from China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec)'s new 160k-ton capacity olefin cracker plant. In the meantime, downside should be limited in view of the incoming seasonal demand for Styrene Monomer (SM) while lube base spreads is supported by continued lower high-sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) prices.
