COMPANY UPDATE
Gamuda RM3.75: Buy
On the right track Shariah-compliant

Maintain Buy. 1QFY11 results, to be announced in mid-Dec, should be on track to meet our revised RM355m FY11 net profit forecast (+2%). Property sales have surpassed expectations with RM350m locked-in in 1Q versus RM880m full-year target. The government's decision on the Klang Valley MRT project may continue to favour Gamuda-MMC. These positive news-flows would support a higher share price level. Retain Buy with a raised RM4.45 (+2%) RNAV-based target price.


RCE Capital RM0.565:Sell
Lacks clarity, downgrade to Sell

Lacks clarity. We downgrade our call on RCE to Sell, expecting further downside to its share price on concerns over its longer-term prospects. The cessation of new loans will negatively impact our FY11 net profit forecast by 5%, and future earnings will contract if unresolved. Clarity is lacking on whether the matter will impact its business model. Our new TP pegs the stock on 0.7x P/B (end-2010E) as we switch over our valuation basis to asset-based under current uncertain circumstances.


ECONOMICS
External Trade October 2010
V for Volatile...

Export growth slumped to +1.3% YoY in Oct '10 (Sep '10: +6.9% YoY; Maybank IB: +0.1% YoY, Consensus: -1.4% YoY). MoM, exports rebounded +8.9% after two months of sequential declines (Sep ‘10: -4.5% MoM; Aug '10: -4.7% MoM). Imports performed better at +12.5% YoY (Sep '10: +14.6% YoY; Maybank IB: +3.8% YoY, Consensus: +5.3% YoY) and +10.7% MoM (Sep '10: -8% MoM; Aug '10: -2.4% MoM). Consequently, trade surplus narrowed to RM 6.9b (Sep '10: +RM 7.0b).


Subsidy Rationalisation
Round two for fuel and sugar...

The Government announced another round of increases in fuel and sugar prices. Subsidy rationalisation is progressing gradually in comparison to PEMANDU's proposal. Therefore, we maintain our forecast of gradual rise in inflation rate to 2.5% next year from 1.7% this year.


Technicals
The FBM KLCI rose 8.93-points and closed at 1,500.98 last week as some local bargain hunting activities emerged after the previous week’s fall.The obvious support areas for the FBM KLCI are located in the 1,474 to 1,500-zone. The key resistance areas of 1,503 and 1,531 may cap any rebound activity.

Trading Idea for the week is an ACCUMULATE call on GAB.
