Media: Overweight
Apr 2011 adex: Growth momentum continues

Overweight stance under review. Apr 2011 total gross adex grew 17% YoY, the strongest this year. May 2011 is likely to be 10% to 15% higher MoM as advertisers ramp up ad spend ahead of adex-friendly festivities in 3Q11. 4M11 total gross adex grew 14% YoY, ahead of our 8.3% forecast. Top picks MCIL and Media Prima performed well in the past month, possibly reflecting the still positive adex sentiment.

RESULTS REVIEW
KLCC Property Holdings RM3.28: Hold
Results in line; new contribution from Lot C Shariah-compliant

Maintain Hold. KLCCP's RM574m FY03/11 realised pretax profit was in line, but 12 sen total DPS for FY03/11 was above expectations. In our view, KLCCP's annualised 3.4% net dividend yield for 2012 is less attractive compared to large cap REITs (6-6.5%). We lower our 9M11-2013 estimates by 1.6-16% to factor in the change in FYE. Maintain Hold with a new RM3.50 TP (15% discount to RM4.10 RNAV (+50 sen)).

Tanjung Offshore RM1.11: Sell
Grey visibility still Shariah-compliant

Reiterate Sell. Losses extended into 1Q, within our forecasts but below consensus expectation. Forward earnings will remain a challenge. Cost management strategies and operating prospects remain the key concerns. An equity cash-call could ensue should the cash situation worsen. TOFF will suffer an RM8m penalty cost for early bonds redemption. Valuations are expensive and consensus forecasts are aggressive. Ekuinas’ next move remains a wild card.

COMPANY UPDATE
Star Publications (M) RM3.38: Hold
Fuzzy signals from this frequency Shariah-compliant

Maintain Hold call and DCF-based target price of RM3.71. We are mildly negative on Star's plan to acquire 80% of Capital FM for RM15m as it is loss-making and may cannibalise Star's three incumbent radio stations. Acquiring an outdoor company would have been wiser. We leave our earnings estimates unchanged pending further details.

CB Industrial Product Holding RM4.30: Buy
Variation to order book Shariah-compliant

Positive, but factored in. CBIP received a request from a customer to vary its order book, awarded back in Jan 2011. Consequently, the contract value was revised upwards by about RM31m and the expected incremental profit from the revision could be approximately RM4m. Although positive, we maintain our earnings forecasts as we have assumed RM180m of contract wins for FY2011. Maintain Buy with an unchanged TP of RM4.75 based on 7x 2011 PER.

Technicals
The FBM KLCI rose marginally by 2.75 points to close at 1,544.02 yesterday. Its resistance areas of 1,548 and 1,565 will cap market gains, whilst the obvious support areas are located at 1,523 and 1,544. Due to the DJIA’s firmer tone last night, we will see some bargain hunting activities today.

Daily trading idea is a Short-Term Buy for TDM.
