- We remain positive on Avi-Tech's outlook,
which is likely to benefit from increased electronics in the automotive sector
- DCF based price target of 59 cents (23%
upside). This implies a 12xFY2018F
PER. It also provides an attractive

cents)

Lippo Malls Indo Retail Trust (Feb 21: 39
cents)
- Downgrade to Hold
- Lippo Malls Indo Retail's Trust's 4Q2017
results were within expectations.

related to a potential rights issue will continue to weigh on the trust, as
investors may be unwilling to accumulate additional units in the interim.

arrive at a fair value of 40.5 cents, down from previous fair value of 46 cents
Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (Feb 21: $13)

Roxy-Pacific Holdings (Feb 21: 57 cents)
- Maintain Buy

earliest to landbank in the current market cycle, has six free-hold residential
developments in Singapore that will be ready for launch in 2018, with two to
three to be launched within 1Q2018
- Price target of 69 cents is based on a
30% discount to RNAV of 98 cents
Singapore Airlines (Feb 21: $11.29)
- Maintain Hold
- Singapore's Finance Minister announced in
Budget 2018 that all facilities producing 25,000 tonnes or more of greenhouse
gas emissions in a year will have to pay carbon tax from 2020
- In our view, the most direct impact will
be higher fuel costs, as producers of jet fuel are likely to pass on the cost
of carbon tax to the airlines. We
believe the impact will be mitigated for two reasons: an active fuel hedging
strategy helps reduce volatility of fuel costs, and in progress renewal of
fleet to more fuel efficient aircraft such as the A350s
- Unchanged fair value of $10.85

16 cents in 2017 (5.6% yield), its annual DPS could be cut to 14 cents in
FY2019F. DCF based price target of $2.20
