• Positive on asset recycling strategy
• Up valuation on Tianjin Eco-City

Divests stake in Keppel China Marina Holdings

Keppel Corporation announced yesterday that Keppel Land China has entered into an agreement with Delight Prime Ltd (unit of HKlisted Logan Property) to divest its 100% stake in Keppel China Marina Holdings Pte Ltd (KCMH) for approx. RMB2.9b (~S$597.4m), subject to completion adjustments.

KCMH indirectly owns an 80% effective interest in Sunsea Yacht Club (Zhongshan), a JV which owns and develops Keppel Cove, an integrated residential cum marina lifestyle development on Modao Island in Zhongshan city, China. Recall that Keppel China Marina Holdings entered into a JV with Sunsea Yacht Club (HK) to develop its first integrated residential cum marina lifestyle development in Zhongshan in 2008.

Expects Gain of S$290m

The consideration was arrived at after taking into account the unaudited NAV of KCMH Group and the market value of the unsold inventories and remaining undeveloped land. With this divestment, a gain of about S$290m is expected to be recognised. Completion is expected to take place by the end of this year.

Land Prices in Tianjin Eco-City Have Increased Significantly

We are positive on the group’s strategy to recycle assets to seek higher returns and rebalance its portfolio to focus on selected highgrowth cities in China. KEP’s Tianjin Eco-City project is also bearing fruit, with average selling prices of Eco-City residential land having increased significantly since 2016 – RMB1,700/sm in 2014, RMB1,900/sm in 2015, RMB6,300/sm in 2016 and finally RMB13,800/sm this year.

Do note that land sales from this project (to either KepLand or other property developers for development) are accounted for under the “Investments” segment of KEP.

Recall that KEP has a 45% effective stake in SinoSingapore Tianjin Eco-City Investment and Development, which acquires land from the Chinese government based on prices that were fixed earlier in 2008.

We take this into account in our sum-of-parts valuation, and after adjusting our estimates, our fair value rises from S$7.73 to S$8.31. Maintain BUY.

So before selecting the signal provider make sure that they provide the services in stock. There are various some providers who provide services only either in Forex or Comex, so inquiring about them will be total waste of time. So investigate only for those who are stock tips providers. And also make sure that they will provide signals in the particular stocks you want to invest in.

 

Research about their previous record:-

Researching previous records is a good way to know about the performance the signal providers. Check whether the signal provider’s services are good or not, they provide accurate equities trading tips or not. You can check their client’s comments to know more about their services and accuracy.

Match your trading strategy with the provider before selecting the signal provider. For an instance, suppose prefer intraday trading or day trading then they should provide you intraday live trading signal for gaining profit. And if your trading style is positional trading then should provide positional trading signals.

Collect the information about the accounts managed:-

If the signal provider is managing large number of accounts then your account will not get preference and that provider will not prove beneficial and suitable to make income from the trade. So assure that the provider manages the enough possible accounts so that you will not get ignored. 

Check whether the provider is emerging or established:-

Established signal providers have more knowledge and experience as compared to the emerging provider. Established providers can be more profitable as their equity recommendations could be more accurate as compared to the emerging. It doesn’t mean that emerging providers are not good but there is more chance of losing with their stock investment picks due to lack of experience. 

Bottom Line:-

After checking out all the records and performing all the inquiries you are ready for stock investment with the selected stock signals provider. As soon as you select the signal provider then they will start providing you live trading signals on the basis of market analysis so that you can make money from your trade.
