Market cap:US$11.62bn|6M ADTV:US$12.8mn PT Bank Negara Indonesia(Persero)Tbk is an Indonesia-based financial institution.It is engaged in commercial banking activities with particular focus on micro loans.Source:Company data,Credit Suisse estimates Source:Thomson Reuters,Credit Suisse research Source:Company data,Credit Suisse estimates BNI valuation relative to Mandiri BNI EPS growth YoY(%)6 INVESTMENT THESIS:BNI is the fourth-largest bank in Indonesia with a decent corporate and consumer business.Loan book is divided among SOE-corporate(20%of loans),private corporate(30%),SMEs(28.5%),consumer(17%)and the remaining from subsidiaries.BNI also has a good deposit franchise with 68%low-cost current/saving(CASA)deposits and enjoys the second-lowest cost of funding after BCA(Mandiri is marginally higher).With a network spanning over 1,781 branches and 14,157 ATMs,BNI has 9%of both loan/deposit market share.OUR VIEW:Under a new CEO,BNI did large provisioning in 2015 and is growing loans aggressively from 2016.This has got the market concerned but BNI contends that most of its loan growth is derived from government infrastructure projects,and are hence safer.We have taken a view that(1)Indonesia government has a record of saving SOEs,and(2)new loans are unlikely to turn bad unless the economy suffers a major downturn.BNI is currently trading at 22.3%discount to Mandiri on PE and 21.4%on PB for the similar ROA they generate;valuation dont look demanding in our view.CATALYSTS:The FY18 earnings which are likely to be reported on February could play as a positive catalyst for the share price performance.VALUATION:For target price calculation,we use the projected ROA of 2.05%(average of 2018-19E)and apply a normalised gearing of 8.0 x(vs projected 7.3x and 2018 7.3x),which gives us a normalised ROE of 15.3%.With a 13.9%cost of equity and“g”of 9%,the Gordon growth model leads us to a target price of Rp9,600,which implies a P/E of 10.2x 2019E.BNI ROA and ROE(%)Year 12/17A 12/18E 12/19E 12/20E Pre-pov Op profit(Rp bn)22,405.0 25,302.6 29,335.6 33,409.0 Net profit(Rp bn)13,616.5 15,237.0 17,472.6 19,743.3 EPS(CS

bn|6M ADTV:US$25 mn China Gas Holdings is a natural gas services provider in China,principally engaged in the investment,construction and management of city gas pipeline infrastructure and distribution of natural gas.Source:CEIC,Credit Suisse estimates CGH:12-month forward P/E history Gas companies market shares in Northeast China Northeast gas demand vs Russian gas import 7 INVESTMENT THESIS:Russia gas is likely the biggest event in 2H19 for gas,lifting earnings for city gas in the North East.We estimated China Gas Holdings(CGH)has 37-42%market share in Heilongjiang and Liaoning(largest among peers).We have already incorporated the Russia benefits into our earnings forecasts,contributing single digit to mid-teens of CGHs total profits over next few years.We expect Chinas overall gas demand growth to be slightly lower in 2019E(+13%YoY vs.+15%in 2018E)on slower GDP growth.But given the offsetting factor of coal-gas conversion,industrial demand is unlikely to repeat the serious setback in 2015,in our view.Besides,CGH also has exposure to rural gas market,providing an extra growth driver in both new connections and gas sales.OUR VIEW:CGH is one of our China utilities top picks for 2019,as its fully diversified business mix offers strong protection against macro uncertainties and we expect the company to be the largest beneficiary of the upcoming Russia gas starting 2H19E.CATALYSTS:Before Russia gas comes,we also expect clarity of demand allocation among the three Northeastern provinces,and CGH is likely to be one of the key beneficiaries.Besides,we also expect city gas to secure investments in new LNG terminals and imported contracts,helping improve their long-term dollar margins and lead to single-digit to low-teen earnings upside in 2021-25E.VALUATION:CGH now offers an appealing valuation,at 13x FY20E(March year-end)on the back of 23%FY19-21E EPS CAGR.Key downside risks are lower than expected connection fee margins and gas sales as well as slower than expected Northeastern ramp-up.Source:Company data,Credit Suisse estimates Source:Bloomberg,Company data,Credit Suisse estimates China GasENNKunlunCR

services.Source:TEJ,Credit Suisse estimates Source:Company data,Credit Suisse estimates We expect CMBs reserve to loan ratio to further rise to 4.7%in 2019,the highest level for the bank 8 INVESTMENT THESIS:CMB is one of the few banks under our coverage that is able to maintain a double-digit earnings growth and has the capacity to absorb 5-6%new NPL influx each year thanks to its strong core business profitability.OUR VIEW:We believe CMB is well-positioned for Chinas consumer credit growth on back of its leading consumer banking franchise and strong core business profitability.We believe the bank could maintain its loan growth at 9-10%for the next 2-3 years,mostly driven by higher-yielding retail loans(70%of its loan volume growth),which could help to contribute to the banks 5-10bps margin expansion.CATALYSTS:We believe the banks strong operating income growth of 10%in 2019 to be driven by better NIM(lower wholesale funding costs and favorable loan mix),10%+loan growth(continue to tilt to higher-yielding retail loans),and strong fees on continuous strength in credit card fees.VALUATION:CMB is trading at 6.7x FY19E P/E and 1.1x FY19E P/B on 15.8%ROE estimate.Our target price of HK$37.0 is based on the Gordon growth model,with 16.7%adjusted ROE(average ROE estimate for the bank after adjusted for minimum CET-1 requirement of 12%)and 12.2%COE.Source:Company data,Credit
