1QFY18 PATMI up YoY From S$1.1m to S$8.2m

Wing Tai’s 1QFY18 PATMI increased from S$1.1m to S$8.2m YoY mainly due to contributions from Le Nouvel Ardmore, Le Nouvel KLCC as well as disposal gains on the Huai Hai project in Shanghai. In addition, we also saw the group’s share of profits of associated and joint venture companies increased 17% YoY to S$6.7m given higher contributions from Wing Tai Properties Ltd in Hong Kong.

Investing Alert: Malaysia, Singapore stocks fall ahead of Fed meeting minutes

Mobile phone companies drag KLCI index down, DBS, ComfortDelGro decline in STI

[SINGAPORE ] [KUALA LUMPUR ] Malaysia shares fell for a second consecutive day, weighed by a decline in mobile phone operators. Singapore stocks ended lower ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve's meeting minutes.

Investors shrugged off the positive cues from Wall Street overnight with the Dow Jones Industrial Average logging another all-time high. U.S. stocks have repeatedly reached record levels in recent sessions, buoyed by expectations of a cut in corporate taxes and upbeat manufacturing and services data.

The lackluster performance of equity markets in Malaysia and Singapore on Wednesday came ahead of the Fed releasing the minutes of its September meeting. Investors are looking for more cues on the outlook for the economy and on inflation from the document.

The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI declined 0.2% to 1,757.21. DiGi.Com dropped 2%, Telekom Malaysia lost 1.1%, and Axiata Group and Maxis declined by at least 0.6% each.

The Malaysian telecommunications regulator Wednesday invited bids from carriers to buy blocks of 700 Mhz spectrum for high-speed mobile phone services. The move comes as consumers in Southeast Asia's third-largest economy, where many own more than one mobile phone, are increasingly shifting to data-heavy offerings.

Operators are expected to vie aggressively for a slice of the spectrum that could push up bid prices and subsequently pressure cash flows, said AmInvestment Bank's analyst Alex Goh. While successfully securing 700 Mhz airwaves would not increase revenue directly, "it's a race that all players have to run, so that they can provide the best service quality to users," he said.


AWC, a provider of integrated facilities management, dropped 2.5% after it agreed to mutually terminate a contract worth 130 million ringgit ($30.8 million) with the Malaysian government.

Cuscapi, a software developer, declined 3% to 0.325 ringgit after saying it planned to raise 79.80 million ringgit selling 300 million shares and 60 million warrants.

Muhibbah Engineering (M) advanced 0.7% after it won an infrastructure works order worth 168 million ringgit. Hubline, engaged in shipping services, climbed 7.1% amid speculation the company will receive new government orders from the oil & gas sector in coming months.

Oil and gas services company KNM Group advanced 1.8%. Maybank Investment Bank said in a note that the company's Peterborough, U.K. power plant project is "finally" moving along after financing had been a major stumbling block in the past.

Catch once REITs Share Investment

The price performance of Hospitality REITS during the past 1 year have been nothing short of incredible.

These REITS typically own and manage hotels, that are hand-picked for their prime location within major cities, in countries like Singapore, Melbourne and London. A good management helps to ensure a steady stream of repeat bookings from business and leisure travelers, and high occupancy rates allow for a steady stream of dividends that the REITs are able to distribute to unitholders.
SGX alone is home to 5 REIT listings that derive more than 60% of their rental income from hospitality real estate assets.

These 5 REITs have witnessed on average a 15% gain in share price alone. Coupled with average annual dividend yield of 5% to 6.6%, investors would have reaped a total of 20% gains on invested capital over the past 1 year.

Frasers Hospitality Trust

Frasers Hospitality Trust is one of the hospitality REITs contributing to the overall vibrancy of the Singapore REIT market. It is a pure play hospitality REIT with a service residence portfolio, and is globally diversified with 15 properties in 9 cities. Intercontinental Singapore is one of its local holdings, with Sofitel Sidney Wentworth and Park International London as part of its overseas hospitality assets. Its Q1 2017 DPS came 4.2% in lower as compared to previous corresponding quarter due to a rights issue which increased the number of units outstanding. Its growth engine is in full force from the recent acquisition of Novotel Melbourne and Maritim Hotel Dresden and investors can look to stronger performance recovery from its Singapore and Japan assets. It is currently offering the highest yield among all hospitality REITs at 6.6% per annum.
 

Ascendas Hospitality Trust

Ascendas Hospitality Trust is another global REIT with prime assets scattered over top cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Beijing, Tokyo and Singapore. Most hotels owned by the REIT are located in Australia and are mid-grade hotels: Pullman and Mercure and Novotel Sydney. Diversification is the REITs key strategy to deliver strong unit-holder returns. Its share price has risen nearly 20% from the start of the year. Should its Australian hotel property suffer a drop in occupancy levels as a whole, the REIT could look to other regions such as its China and Singapore portfolio to deliver returns. Another attractive feature is that Ascendas Hospitality REIT owns 3 and 4 star hotel properties which give higher operating margins as compared to higher end hotels.

Far East Hospitality Trust

Far East Hospitality Trust has been going strong as well for the past 1 year. Investors looking for a localised REIT can look to this Singapore focused REIT where all its hotel portfolios are primarily located in the major shopping district of Singapore, such as Orchard Parade, The Elizabeth Hotel and The Quincy Hotel. Its Q2 2017 financials were weak as DPS recorded a decrease of 4% but investors should look past quarter on quarter fluctuations and project expected returns beyond 5 years. Its 6.19% annual yield still gives investors decent returns on investment and Singapore’s resilience in attracting global tourists and business traveller should bode well for this REIT.
 

CDL Hospitality Trust

For investors looking for exposure in the global tourism sector, CDL Hospitality Trust is the REIT that should fall under the investors’ radar. Its property portfolios are scattered all over the world in major cities from Tokyo to Perth with huge tourist arrivals business travellers every single year. CDL HTrust provides excellent geographical diversification, backed by world class hotels run by solid management team. Its Singapore portfolio makes up 58% of total property portfolio, with the remaining 42% strategically located in other major cities. It is always on the hunt for quality hospitality assets with the latest being the acquisition of The Lowry Hotel in Manchester. Its track record is backed by an attractive dividend yield of 5.95% per annum, making it one of the best REITs in Singapore. Its performance over the past year has been good as well, delivering nearly 20% gains in unit price alone.
 

OUE Hospitality Trust

OUE Hospitality Trust would also make an interesting REIT investment should investors want a Singapore pure play hospitality REIT, similar to Far East Hospitality Trust. Its property portfolio comprises 5 star hotels namely Crowne Plaza and Mandarin Orchard. Its dividend yield is one of the highest offered at 6.2%. Singapore tourist arrivals had been on a steady uptrend over the many years up till 2016 with the Singapore government constantly seeking new inputs to attract tourist dollars. The hotels are upscale hotels catering to well-heeled tourist whom are less price sensitive and values great top notch hospitality hotel service. OUE Hospitality is well positioned to reap solid occupancy from these tourist segments.

3. Trading at 6.0% FY18F yield

Sponsor Actively Expanding Portfolio

The Ascott Limited, Ascott Residence Trust’s (ART) sponsor and a wholly-owned business unit of CapitaLand, has been actively growing its serviced residence (SR) portfolio globally and securing its market leadership in various geographies. Earlier this month, The Ascott announced the acquisition of a prime SR in the Jakarta CBD, further strengthening its position as the largest SR operator in Indonesia.

'BBB' Rating Assigned by Fitch

Fitch Ratings has assigned ART a Long-Term Issuer Default Rating of 'BBB' with a Stable Outlook. Notably, in the analysis released by Fitch, ART's 'BBB' rating was compared to peers such as CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDLHT, BBB- /Stable), Host Hotels & Resorts, Inc. (Host Inc, BBB/Stable) and Mapletree Industrial Trust (MIT, BBB+/Stable). Despite CDLHT having a stronger financial profile, Fitch favours ART for its more geographically diversified portfolio and better cash flow visibility stemming from its long-stay tenants.

Gearing Expected to Come to ~36% Post AOS Acquisition

ART’s gearing as of 30 Jun 2017 was 32.4%, though this is expected to increase to 36% after the acquisition of DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel New York in Aug and that of Ascott Orchard Singapore expected next month. ART's unencumbered assets/unsecured debt ratio stood at 2.9x, substantially higher than the 2.0x ratio Fitch has identified as the minimum level for investment grade real estate investment trusts to support strong financing flexibility and limit the subordination of unsecured creditors' interests.

We continue to be positive on the geographical diversification of ART’s portfolio and the support of a strong sponsor, but believe the REIT could trade at a more attractive yield. Against yesterday’s closing price, ART is trading at 5.2% FY17F yield and 6.0% FY18F yield.

Maintain HOLD with a fair value of S$1.10.
