CSC Steel ' Profitability remains a challenge, '                                                                    Trading Buy (Upgraded)
Visit Note
-          We estimate CSC Steel is likely to record a net loss of RM10-15m in the upcoming 4Q11 results due to narrowing margins as well as a write-down in inventory value.
-          CSC Steel has a huge cash reserve of RM213.5m, or about 56sen/share (as at 30 Sep 2011). At RM1.41, it would only cost the controlling shareholder about RM295m to buy out all minority shareholders, and this amount could be substantially funded with CSC Steel's cash reserve.
 
Sector Update
Media ' Expect adex growth to moderate in 2012                                                                                                                          Underweight
Sector Update
-          As the pace of overall adex growth continues to moderate due to weak global economic conditions, we reiterate a slowdown in adex growth to 3.6% in 2012 from 9% projected for 2011. 
-          Elections in 2012 will have a positive though not significant impact on adex.
-          Due to its recent share price appreciation, we downgrade MCIL to Underperform, while maintaining a fair value of RM1.00. Maintain Underweight on the sector due to lack of catalysts.
