--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CIMB Trims Xingquan Target To MYR3.04 Vs MYR3.49
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0800 GMT [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: CIMB Research trims Xingquan (5155.KU) target to MYR3.04 from MYR3.49 after scaling back house's FY11-FY13 EPS forecasts for Chinese shoemaker by 8.0%-13% to reflect margin squeeze from sharp rise in raw material prices. This after Xingquan's fiscal 1Q net profit of MYR25.8 million (+20.6% on-year) out of step with house expectations, with annualised core net profit being only 68% of house forecast, mainly due to profit margin erosion. "But Xingquan remains an Outperform as valuations are among the most attractive in the sector. Factors that could give the share price a kick are better-than-expected trade fair orders and a sharp decline in raw material prices," says analyst Nigel Foo. Stock last down 0.6% at MYR1.59
Affin Cuts Kossan Target To MYR4.73; Keeps Buy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0837 GMT [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: Affin Investment lowers Kossan Rubber Industries (7153.KU) price target to MYR4.73 from MYR5.00 after revising down FY10-12 net earnings forecasts by about 6% due to expected rise in latex prices, stronger MYR vs USD. Maintains Buy rating; says company has "diversified product mix, which buffers its bottomline from higher raw material costs, and high utilization rates." Notes company's 9-month EBIT margin at 15% vs 10.3% a year earlier, driven by robust demand, stronger pricing power, especially in 1H, that allowed company to pass on nearly 100% of escalating latex costs. Stock last +5.6% at MYR3.39.
