2012e P/E

Arabian Cement is trading at a low P/E estimate of 8.4x for 2012. The company exhibited a stellar growth of 90.6% in profits for 1Q12 attributed to the huge construction activity witnessed in the western region of KSA. ACC managed to increase production by 300,000tons which will help it meet continuously rising demand in the western region and the Kingdom as a whole. However Arabian Cement is incurring losses from it Jordanian subsidiary, but with the current restructuring plan, cost rationalization and improving efficiency, the Jordanian subsidiary will be of great importance in the future for the company.

Emirates NBD has an immense sovereign exposure to Dubai and has been under pressure lately following new regulations by the CBUAE capping lending and asking banks to comply by September 2012. There has been news in the market about possible postponement of the compliance date for the said regulations on a case to case basis for heavily exposed banks. We see this as a positive development, whereby the bank will be allowed to reach compliant levels amicably, minimizing the adverse impact on its books and profitability. ENBD is trading at the lowest P/BV within the sector, coupled with a hard-to-ignore upside potential.

Commercial Bank of Qatar (Qatar), CMP: QAR69.30, Target Price: QAR95.12 CBQ continues to be our top pick given its relatively strong balance sheet and solid long-term funding and capitalization base. The stock has come under pressure in recent times largely due to concerns on foreign funding which we believe is overdone. The stock offers a combination of both value and growth and is expected to do well in the near term.

KFH’s stock price closed at KWD0.750. A temporarily double bottom has been formed on the weekly chart at KWD0.680, while the long bullish candle seen recently could suggest the start of a new bullish trend. However, it is important to know that overhead resistance levels are intense as we have KWD0.760, KWD0.820 and KWD0.880 but for an aggressive bullish tone to take place, the stock should show strong buying potential above the critical resistance line at KWD1.120. On the counter side, losing KWD0.680 would trigger KWD0.610. The weekly and daily “RSI” indicators are looking neutral at present. Strategy: Medium-term (11 weeks) investors should be aware as the price is near the moving average for this period at KWD0.740, while long-term (50 weeks) investors can only buy above KWD0.820.

GCC Equity Monitor

Technical Overview: Kuwait Stock Exchange Kuwait Stock Exchange Price Index closed at 6,193.82 point. The market remains underpinned by its strong support line at around 6,100 point, knowing that the index should hold a close above there for a near-term upside rebound to be preserved, but a sudden dip below there would trigger the psychological level at 6,000 point and even more towards 5,900 point. On the bullish side, nearby resistance levels are located at 6,300 point and 6,400 point but only a cross over 6,537 point would alleviate the selling pressure and call for another leg up towards 6,770 point. The weekly and daily “RSI” indicators are currently looking negative. Strategy: Medium-term (11 weeks) investors can re-enter the market at levels higher than 6,300 point, while long-term investors who would like to stay should watch out if the index dips below 6,165 point.

Definitions: * A trend-following momentum indicator that shows the relationship between two moving averages of prices. When the MACD is above zero, the short-term average is above the long-term average, which signals upward momentum. The opposite is true. ** A technical momentum indicator that compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses in an attempt to determine overbought and oversold conditions of an asset. An asset is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, meaning that it may be getting overvalued and is a good candidate for a pullback. Likewise, if the RSI approaches 30, it is an indication that the asset may be getting oversold and therefore likely to become undervalued. × Moving average. Which is an arithmetic way and a tool used purpose of easing the price fluctuations to clarify the trend and differentiate between primary or secondary trend of prices and the normal fluctuations. ^ The price level which, historically, a stock has had difficulty falling below. It is thought of as the level at which a lot of buyers tend to enter the stock. ^^ The price at which a stock or market can trade, but can not exceed, for a certain period of time. The stock or market stops rising because sellers start to outnumber buyers. Disclaimer: This Technical Analysis is not an invitation to buy or sell, as it is “Global’s” opinion and speculation of future movement of the stock. Also it is not considered a sufficient material to rely on when taking financial and investment decisions. Investors should study the financial statement before taking any investment decision.
