Hong Leong Bank Rolling up its sleeves to raise ROE
■ HLB aims to raise its ROE from 11.8% in FY6/23 to 12.0-12.5% in FY24-25F and above 12.5% in FY26F. ■ If HLB hits its ROE targets, its FY24-26F net profit would be 7-13% higher than our forecasts, translating into an FY23-26F net profit CAGR of 10.8%. ■ Reaffirm Add on HLB, given its attractive CY24F P/E of 10x (vs. 5-year average of 12.2x), despite having one of the best fundamentals in the sector

Aviation – Singapore Visa-free Scheme With China A Key Positive, Raising Sector Outlook From 2024
Singapore’s air traffic is set to rise further in 2024, propelled by the implementation of the new visa-free arrangement with China. Air cargo volume has been stabilising and we see hopes of a moderate pick-up in growth by mid-24 backed by the US’ inventory restocking needs.

Westports Holdings (WPRTS MK) WPRTS 2 Concession Sanctioned, But More Factors Need To Be Ironed Out
The long-awaited CT10-17 terminal expansion has been sanctioned. WPRTS 2 will boost capacity from 15m TEUs to 27m TEUs, and the concession period until 2082. Our target price has partially factored in the expansion, but in our view it is still not immune to political risks (exposed to projects like ECRL and Pulau Carey). Key terms (like tariff, capex and funding) are still being finalised, but without this guidance, it is not possible to project a realistic IRR and DCF upside for now. Maintain BUY. Target: RM4.10.

Dyna-Mac (DMHL SP) Over-correction represents opportunity
Maintain BUY with SGD0.51 TP In the past 2 months, O&G stocks locally have corrected 30-50% from their highs, including Dyna-mac which dropped about 40%. We believe that the correction is overdone and represents an attractive opportunity for investors to ride on the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) uptrend.

MISC Bhd (MISC MK) A visit to Seri Alam LNG tanker in the Land of the Hornbill
Maintain BUY. SOP-TP unchanged at MYR7.65 MISC hosted a group of sell-side analysts to visit its Seri Alam LNG tanker in Bintulu, Sarawak. Post-visit, we maintain BUY on MISC with an unchanged SOP-based TP of MYR7.65. We continue to like MISC for its: defensive nature from its LT LNG charters which provide recurring cash flows; and ii) decent dividend yields of ~5% for an investible, stable and solid blue-chip name.
