our fundamental target price of S$1.63, which is based on
35% discount to RNAV of S$2.54. Following recent run-up,
Wheelock’s discount to RNAV has narrowed to 28%, which is
lower than sector average discount of 40%.
Raffles Med (Hold, 6% upside to TP: S$2.59)
The stock has recently re-rated on the back of higher multiples
for the healthcare sector. The share price has surged 21% YTD.
It has also risen 18% since end May, outperforming STI by 9%
and FS Healthcare Index by 16%. Though the prospects of the
healthcare industry are still resilient, we do see competitive
pressures rising with more healthcare facilities being completed,
such as Parkway’s Mount Elizabeth Novena hospital, Singapore
Health Partners’ Connexion One and Fortis Healthcare’s Adam
Road Hospital. Higher staff costs and operating leases are other
negatives. At 24.4x FY12 PE, stock is already trading above
mean valuations of 21x. We see limited upside from current
levels and investors should look to lock in gains.
Super Group (Hold, 10% downside to TP: S$1.88)
Super Group’s share price has surged a whopping 61% YTD
and is also the top performer in our DBSV basket of stocks,
both on a 6-month and 1-yr basis. Operationally, the group is
still on target to meet our 7% and 12% growth in earnings for
this year and next. Our analyst expects FY12F revenue growth
to be driven by continued penetration of the branded
consumer segment in ASEAN markets – Thailand, Myanmar,
Philippines and Malaysia. However, valuations at 17.9x and
15.8x FY12F and FY13F P/E respectively, are getting a bit lofty
at this stage when peers in the region trades at average of 15x
FY12. With the Euro crisis far from over, we believe that there
may be near term share price weakness.
REITS
Yield plays have been in play in recent months as investors
have fled to safety, on the back of global uncertainties, in
particular the Euro crisis and the expected slowdown in major
economies like the US and China. The FTSE Re Invest Trust has
surged 22% since 4 June, one of the best performing sectors,
just after the Real Estate and Oil & Gas sectors. The REITS
sector now trades at a 1.0x P/BV and, in our view, offer yields
of 6.2-6.4%, representing a spread of 470-490 spread against
the long term bond remains attractive. Despite an uncertain
economic backdrop, the S-REITs that have released their
quarterly results so far, were mainly in line or above our
expectations.
However, the share prices of some of the REITS in our DBSV
coverage list, like CDL Hospitality Trusts, Cache and Ascendas
India Trust are already near our fundamental target prices and
our REITS’ analyst has downgraded them to HOLD, mainly on
valuation grounds.
Cache Logistics (Hold, 6% upside to TP: S$1.15)
Backed by a portfolio of warehouses tied on master leases,
Cache enjoys a long weighted average lease expiry (WALE)
tenure of c.4.4 years, implying strong income visibility. While we
continue to like Cache for its stable and resilient cashflows, the
share price is now trading close to our TP of S$1.21.
CDL Hospitality Trusts (Hold, no upside to TP: S$2.09)
Outlook for CDL HT remains positive. Occupancy rate remained
firmed at close to 90%, slightly ahead of the industry average
of 87%. However, growth momentum is expected to continue
in 2H12 but at a moderate pace. There is also limited upside to
our fundamental target price of S$2.09.
Ascendas India Trust (Hold, 11% upside to TP: S$0.84)
a-itrust’s underlying operational metrics remained healthy with
occupancy at 95% supported by strong tenant retention rates
of c.62%, while renewals were stable. While management
continues to execute strongly, the strong S$, which has
strengthened against Indian Rupee by 20% y-o-y, is expected
to continue to be a drag on earnings in the near term.
Furthermore, the dividend payout ratio is cut to 90% in FY13.
Take advantage of an anticipated pullback to accumulate
stocks with visible catalysts and strong growth drivers.
Although Our bottom-up picks here are based on the criterion
that earnings growth amongst these stocks is visible and firmly
backed by company specific drivers or catalysts.
Bumitama ( Buy, 26% upside to TP: S$1.35)
We expect Bumitama to deliver strong 3 year FFB production
of 29%; driven by young tree profile (averaging 5 years old)
and aggressive planting activities since 2004. The robust
underlying output volume growth thus provides leverage and
resilience against any CPO price weakness better than peers.
Bumitama was the top gainer in the last three months and
share price has risen 26% from early June. While the stock
could take a breather amidst broad market correction, we
believe investors should take advantage of any pullback to
accumulate this oil palm planter that is still in a strong growth
phase.
Tiger Airways (Buy, 35% upside to TP: S$1.92)
Tiger Airways just reported lower than expected losses as its
Singapore operations turned profitable after three quarters of
losses. Load factors for both its Singapore and Australian
operations are improving. Looking ahead, with Tiger Australia
having started operations from its second base in Sydney on 1
July and gradually restoring flights to pre-grounding scale by
October 2012, we expect the carrier to move steadily towards
profitability and expect the Group as a whole to be profitable
by the last quarter of CY2012 (3QFY13). The current share
price is also to historical lows. Despite the potential turnaround
in earnings, Tiger Airways is trading at a forward PE of below
9x, at a discount to LCC peers trading at an average forward
PE of 11.2x.
Silverlake Axis (Buy, 26% upside to TP: S$1.35)
Silverlake Axis is a market leader in banking software with the
biggest customer base in Asia. It has ample order wins to drive
