Japfa Ltd 3Q19: Position for the longer-term upcycle
■ 3Q19/9M19 core net profit of US$11.8m/US$47.6m (-58.7%/-48.2% yoy) was marginally below at 79.0%/74.7% of our/consensus full-year forecasts. ■ We had overestimated the weakness in Indonesia poultry, but weaker Vietnam swine EBIT and higher finance costs dampened the results. ■ Despite the share price gains since May we still see a longer-term trading opportunity in JAP.

Hi-P International (HIP SP) Await better entry point
3Q19 in line; 2020 recovery priced in; D/G to SELL While we are more optimistic of FY20E earnings growth, fundamentals appear priced in. Hence, we d/g to SELL, although ROE-g/COE-g TP is raised to SGD1.34 as we roll forward to 1.5x FY20E P/B. 3Q19 PATMI was in line, declining 3% YoY despite a 5% increase in revenue, in part due to persistent pricing pressure. We cut FY19E EPS by 4% to factor in Hi-P’s revenue guidance to “lower” from “similar”, but FY20-21E EPS is higher by 2-3% to account for increased volumes. Accretive M&A is a key upside risk.
