2 June 2017

Taiwan Strategy Foreign inflow streak continues Tech continues to outperform, NT$ continues to appreciate

We caution more downside risk to the market short-term from current levels

as: (1) we are at the top of the market trading range, coming off 5 months in a

row of foreign buying, (2) June-November is the historically the weakest

period for TAIEX performance, and (3) a strong NT$ is putting 2017 earnings

growth at risk (12%+ consensus EPS growth has downside risk). Reason to

not be alarmed (which should limit our expected market pullback) –

reasonable valuations at 14x 2017E consensus (vs 7-year average of 16x)

and positive outlook for both the semiconductor and iPhone cycle in 2017/18.

The TAIEX was up again in May (+1.7%) with tech outperforming and the NT$

appreciating (+7% YTD) every month YTD.

Sector overview and June top picks

Tech: We continue to expect Taiwan tech to outperform in 2017 driven by:

1) 12% semiconductor growth in 2017 (after 2 flat years – biggest upside from

memory prices), 2) good iPhone cycle (that should last into 2018), and

3) continued spending and growth in the automation and auto electronics

sectors (Taiwan tech up 15% YTD vs TAIEX up 9%). We retain our negative

outlook on the LCD industry. Top tech longs: Hon Hai, TSMC, Powertech,

Global Wafers, Ennoconn, CHPT, Win Semi, Chroma, CUB, and Elite

Materials. Top tech shorts: Largan, Advantech, AUO, TPK, Bizlink, HTC and

Hiwin.

Non-tech: We saw more results misses from US apparel/sportswear brands/

retailers, supporting our negative view on Taiwan textile & footwear sector.

Chemical product price declines since March also support our underweight

view on Taiwan Petrochem sector (earnings cycle peaked in 2016). On the

contrary, strong results of Home Depot, Stanley Black & Decker and housing

prices have positive implications to our top pick, Basso. In 2017, we continue

to suggest to stay defensive in Taiwan non-tech, preferring companies with

quality growth stories, lower valuations and good dividend yields. Top non-

tech longs: Basso, PChome, Giant, Uni-President and Poya. Top non-tech

shorts: Eclat, Feng Tay, and FPCC.

Financials / economy: We believe Taiwan will go through several structural

changes, including normalization of factor prices like wages, living costs and

utility prices, combined with fiscal stimulus and reforms. As a result, we

believe these changes could lead to domestic reflation and the monetary

policy could turn tighter. Thus, we believe USD/TWD could stay range-bound

at NT$30 and expect the central bank to start raising rates from 4Q17 and

have two more rate hikes in 2018. We believe revenue growth will come back

from off-balance-sheet business to on-balance-sheet, and deposit franchises

will start to matter. We expect loan growth in TWD and foreign currencies to

recover, albeit for different reasons. We also expect NIM to hit the bottom and

start to rebound amid the tightening cycle. After wealth management fees

have stabilized after regulatory changes, we expect fee income to grow again,

driven by credit cards. We reiterate our preference for private banks like

E.Sun and CTBC while we prefer Cathay in the life insurance universe. Top

TAIEX in June – ten-year average down 1.6%

Over the past ten years, June returns of the TAIEX have averaged down 1.6% (3 up and 7 down

years). Historically, the TAIEX after May is followed by 5 of the next 6 months down (on average –

July being the outlier).
