(2) McCloskey European Coal Outlook Conference – Macq commodities team came out of the conference less bearish on prices from here, at least in the Pacific. On China, the most bullish assessment came from Philip Gasteen, head of marketing and logistics at Asian coal and electricity producer Banpu. He suggested that around 55mt of thermal coal is due to be delivered into China this year under recently completed deals. This would drive imports 20−25mt higher, while export volumes are likely to fall 15−20mt. Thus, he sees China’s net imports increasing by 40mt this year. My take – closer to home, many Asian coal analysts & corporates will attend the CoalTrans conference in Bali during the first week of June. We shall see whether they will come back with the same positive take-aways on China/India coal demand. Indo property: upgrading price targets [Reports attached] Macq research coverage of Indo property sector remains on the transition phase, since our previous analyst Lydia Toisuta left the firm on Nov 2008. In the meantime, ahead of Macquarie Asean conference in June (Bakrieland & Lippo Karawaci have confirmed attendance), Elaine Cheong (Macq property analyst based in Singapore) re-affirms our positive sector view today by lifting price targets on Bakrieland from Rp100 to Rp330 (22% upside), Ciputra Dev from Rp320 to Rp650 (18% upside), and Lippo Karawaci from Rp250 to Rp530 (35% downside). Essentially, she has reduced the NAV discounts implied by those price targets, without changing the NAV estimates by much. She applies a 35% NAV discount for Bakrieland (NAV estimate of Rp519), 35% NAV discount for Ciputra Dev (NAV estimate of Rp1,001), and 35% NAV discount for Lippo Karawaci (NAV estimate of Rp816). She re-iterates Outperform rating on Ciputra Dev & Bakrieland, Underperform rating on Lippo Karawaci. Her key arguments for the narrower NAV discounts: 1. Resilient domestic demand in Indonesia 2. Lowering of interest rates PGAS: smoothing out ways for gas price hike (Adam Worthington) Yesterday, PGAS met with government officials and industry players to discuss the future of the gas market. Upside risk to gas prices post presidential election, re-iterate Outperform. Three key points: 1. Supply shortage: The domestic gas market is in a supply shortage, and further exploration and development is required at the upstream level. 2. US$ pricing appropriate: Industry participants agreed that US$ pricing is appropriate given that capex, financing cost of gas production, and transmission and distribution costs are US$ denominated. 3. Gas is undervalued vs its closest substitute: Participants noted that the selling price of gas has not been raised since July 2007 despite the surge in other commodities, and that at the current exchange rate, the selling price of PGAS 's natural gas is approximately Rp2,038 per diesel equivalent litre, a competitive price when compared with other sources of energy. The participants discussed the potential for gas price increases (in the upstream and downstream) to encourage exploration and development of reserves.
