Broker's Digest 12 Aug 2019


APAC Realty (Aug 6: 51.5 cents)
  •           MAINTAIN ADD.  2Q/1H2019 profit declined to $3.2 million/$5.1 million, below our expectation
  •           1H2019 DPS of 0.75 cent was lower than our expectation
  •           Our price target dips to 60 cents, still based on an average of 10x FY2020F PER and DCF valuation

CapitaLand Retail China Trust (Aug 6: $1.53)
  •           MAINTAIN HOLD.  CRCT plans to raise gross proceeds of about $279.4 million by way of a private placement of 105,043,000 new units at an issue price of $1.469 per new unit
  •           We believe that the addition of the three malls to CRCT’s portfolio remains a strategically wise transaction
  •           Fair value estimate of $1.45 for now

Genting Singapore (Aug 6:  87 cents)
  •         MAINTAIN NEUTRAL.  2Q2019 adjusted Ebitda grew 11% y-o-y to $294 million, bringing 1H2019 adjusted Ebitda to $624 million, which represents 50% of our estimates
  •           According to management, the 50% increase in casino levy for Singaporeans and permanent residents had a significant  impact on mass gaming
  •           We cut our adjusted Ebitda by 10%/7%/3% for FY2019-FY2021F as we lower our mass volume assumption and normalise the win rate.
  •           This lowers our price target to 97 cents from $1.02

Hi-P Int’l (Aug 6: $1.21)
  •           DOWNGRADE TO SELL. 2Q2019 Patmi rose 17% y-o-y despite a 5% drop in revenue, surpassing our expectation of flat y-o-y
  •           Despite now guiding to lower earnings y-o-y, guidance for revenue was maintained at flat y-o-y.
  •           We cut revised FY2019-FY2021E EPS by 4% to7% to reflect management’s revised guidance
  •           Price target falls to $1.15.  Downside of 14% to our revised price target

Japfa (Aug 6: 49 cents)
  •           MAINTAIN HOLD.  Japfa’s 2Q2019 headline earinings came in at US$5 million, down 83% y-o-y from US$29.6 million in 2Q2018
  •           Our sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) based price target, after incorporating a 10% holding company discount, is 53 cents (which implies 12.5x FY2019F PER)
  •           We see continued challenges in its Indonesia operations in 2H2019 and uncertainties arising from the outbreak of the African swine fever virus in Vietnam

Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (Aug 6: $11.02)
  •           MAINTAIN HOLD.  We remain cautious over its non-performing assets coverage, which at 78% remains the lowest among its peers
  •           OCBC currently trades at about 1.1x FY2020F P/BV, near one standard deviation below its average 10-year forward P/BV multiple
  •           A higher dividend payout ratio for OCBC, closer to its peers’ 50%, could be a rerating catalyst
  •           Price target of $11.50

Penguin Int’l (Aug 6: 49.5 cents)
  •           MAINTAIN ADD. Penguin Int’l (PBS) made great strides, with 2Q2019 revenue jumping 164.1% on 2Q2019 chartering and shipbuilding revenue
  •           As at 1H2019, PBS was in net cash position of $48.5 million (21.7 cents a share)
  •           We value PBS at 1x FY2019F P/BV (excluding about $5 million investment in Marco Polo), at a 20% discount to its small to mid-cap peers’ 1.2x aggregate P/BV pre-oil crisis
  •           Price target of 72 cents

Singapore Exchange (Aug 6: $7.90)
  •           DOWNGRADE TO HOLD.  Singapore Exchange (SGX) reported a strong 4Q2019, with core net profit rising 24% y-o-y and bringing full-year earnings to 103% of our consensus forecasts
  •           Management guided for higher opex of $465 million to $475 million and lower capex of $45 million to $50 million in FY2020F.
  •           Final DPS of 7.5 cents brings FY2019 DPS to 30 cents (82% payout), within expectations
  •           Limited upside supported by a 4% dividend yield

United Overseas Bank (Aug 6: $25.66)
  •           MAINTAIN BUY.  2Q2019 net profit rose 8% y-o-y and 11% q-o-q
  •           Management guided for single-digit 2019 fee income growth.
  •           We raise our 2019F net profit by 1%, but lower our 2020F net profit by 5% on weaker NIM assumption
  •           Our valuation for UOB is based on long-term ROE assumption from which we derive our price target of $29.50 (12% upside plus 5% yield)
