The online english translation :-
Media reports, AmBank (AMBANK, 1015, board financial stocks) provided a loan of 900 million ringgit, to be responsible for Empire City project Mammoth Empire Holdings.
The completion date of this project, extended from the end of 2014 show last year, and then again adjourned to September.
The gross development value of RM5 billion integrated industrial projects, including five-star hotels, service apartments, office buildings and shopping malls.
Experts recommend:
This is bad news, but we can not conclude this, 900 million loans provided by banks in Malaysia will have been liquidated.
Suppose, however, Mammoth Empire Holdings liquidated, is expected to drag on total NPLs AmBank 2016 fiscal year rose 55%, and then push the total NPL ratio 0.9 percentage points to 2.7%.
In terms of earnings, if this AmBank loans set aside 50% of the provision, which will lead to fiscal year 2017 net profit is expected to decrease by 23.5%, the target price will be down 11 sen to 5.09 ringgit.
Currently, AmBank has not provided any information on the loan, the bank has not yet these loans as bad debts, no more of this provision be required.
Even in the worst case, I believe AmBank also benefit from the Empire City project, to reduce losses.
Based on the valuation of the stock is still attractive, and net profit per share in fiscal 2017 is expected to return to Yang, we reiterate "overweight" rating.
