mm2 Asia Home run, finally
■ The proposed 100% stake acquisition in Cathay Cineplexes gives mm2 a strong foothold in Singapore and enhanced bargaining power with suppliers. ■ S$230m purchase consideration implies 13.8x EV/EBITDA, pricey relative to previous deals, but in exchange for rare SG assets, full ownership and an established brand. ■ 1HFY3/18 PATMI (+65% yoy) was in line at 45% of our FY18F estimate; synergistic M&As as key potential catalysts. ■ Unusual also gains traction with North Asia and new product line for “Disney On Ice”. ■ Our SOP-based TP is now higher on EPS upgrades and as we roll over to CY19F.

United Overseas Bank (UOB SP) Steady And Consistent
3Q17 in-line; EPS and TP raised 3Q17 core PATMI of SGD883m (+5% QoQ, +12% YoY) was in-line with our expectations, but beat Bloomberg consensus estimates by 5%. 9M17 core PATMI of SGD2.5b (+8% YoY) met 70% of our FY17 forecast. We leave our forecasts for FY17E largely unchanged, but raised FY18-19E core net profit slightly by ~2-3%. With the change in EPS forecasts, our assumed sustainable ROE is now 11.7% (11.5% previously), COE 10.1%, and growth rate 3.5% (both unchanged). Accordingly, our TP is raised 3% to SGD27.10, pegged to 1.2x FY18E P/BV, slightly below its 10-year mean of 1.3x to reflect lower forecast ROEs compared to previous periods.
