United Overseas Bank (UOB SP) ASEAN Recovery In 2022, NIM Expansion In 2023
Loan growth should pick up in 2H21, driven by corporate customers locking in current low interest rates, drawdown for residential mortgages and acquisition of commercial real estate, hospitality properties and new economy assets in developed markets. Loans-related fees are on track to hit a new record for the full year in 2021. The Fed is expected to commence interest rate hikes in 4Q22, which will have a positive impact on UOB’s NIM in 2023.

British American Tobacco (ROTH MK) Clearer Skies Ahead With Smoke-Free Products
BAT’s prospects appear promising. Nicotine vaping regulation is expected in 2022. The legalisation paves the way for BAT to establish its proven Vuse range in a highly lucrative and sizeable segment. Meanwhile, its traditional cigarette sales have recovered well from a 5-year lull, further aided by restrictive measures on cigarette transshipment. BAT offers a compelling dividend yield of 7.7-7.5% as well. Maintain BUY and target price of RM17.20.
