Magnum Berhad (MAG MK) The taxman goeth again
Raise DCF-based TP to MYR2.24 but maintain HOLD MAG is settling its second tax penalty case for MYR80.6m (6sen/shr). In addition, it was awarded 22 special draws for FY21E. The former was 7sen/shr lesser than initially expected. The latter raises our LT EPS and DPS estimates by 4% p.a. Rolling forward our valuation base year to endFY21E from end-FY20E, we raise our DCF-based TP by 12% to MYR2.24. Both developments are positive but they are minor ones and not enough to excite us. Maintain HOLD call.

Malaysia Banking Loan growth moderates in Nov
Industry loan growth of 3.8% for 2021E With repayments having recommenced post-loan moratorium, loan growth stalled MoM in November. Extrapolating this trend into December, 2020 industry loan growth would average 2.9% versus our 2.5% forecast. We introduce our 2021 industry loan growth forecast of 3.8%, premised on faster economic expansion and still fairly decent demand for mortgage and auto financing. Our BUYs on RHB, HLBK and BIMB are maintained.
