Bank Negara Malaysia has on the 21 August 2013, announced a weak second quarter GDP growth and lowered its full year GDP forecast. In concurrence with the news, FBMKLCI has dropped by approximately 3.76% (from 1,788.24 on 16 August 2013 to 1,721.07 on 23 August 2013) trading in the lower region since May 2013. This provides the opportunity for savvy investors to participate in a potentially volatile market. The primary focus of this tranche is a broad exposure to the oil and gas sector, ranging from offshore services to petrochemical products. This tranche also has additional exposure to the financial services sector as well as the airlines industry. The call warrants offer investors the opportunity to capture upside potential of the underlying shares at a fraction of the price of the underlying shares if they have a positive view on the shares.

ARMADA is an international offshore oilfield services provider. The company is in the advanced stages of bidding for floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) tenders for the Kraken (North Sea) and Madura (Indonesia) fields. ARMADA is also participating in a number of offshore support vehicle (OSV) tenders. Maybank Investment Bank has maintained a buy call on ARMADA as of 21 August 2013, with a target price of RM4.40.

DAYANG is a major mid-cap oil and gas maintenance and support services provider that has recently been awarded a major maintenance services contract from Petronas Carigali, which is estimated to be valued at RM1.2 billion. The prospects for this company remain positive given its strong current order book, and healthy financials.

BIMB is a diversified provider of Islamic banking services, including takaful and unit trust management. It is currently undergoing a deal to gain full control of Bank Islam, which will help solidify its position in a rapidly growing sector. Maybank Investment Bank has maintained a buy call on BIMB, and revised upwards its target price to RM4.70 as of 2 August 2013.

The consensus estimate of analysts’ target price on AIRASIA, ARMADA, BIMB and DAYANG are RM3.50, RM4.11, RM4.48 and RM6.541 respectively.
