DPU improved by 1.5% YoY to 1.887 S cents. This comprises an advanced distribution of 1.706 S cents (period from 1 Jul to 21 Sep 2017) which has already traded ex-dividend on 19 Sep and a remaining 0.181 S cents DPU (period from 22 Sep to 30 Sep 2017) which will be paid with the 3QFY18 distribution in Feb 2018.

Thereafter, its aggregate leverage ratio has increased from 33.7% (as at 30 Sep 2017) to ~38%. We retain our forecasts, BUY rating and S$1.35 fair value estimate on MLT.

Singapore Stock to Consider of this Week

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding 

Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) (YZJ) announced on 31 August 2017 a share placement of 137 million new shares at $1.53 per share to raise net proceeds of around $209 million.

As YZJ’s finance strength was robust with a net cash of Rmb1.1 billion before the placement, doubts were raised with regard to the need to raise funds, and there were speculations that the group was preparing for major mergers and acquisitions activities. Other possible explanations include enhancing liquidity due to tightened capital controls arising from certain high-profile incidents in China.

Yangzi International Holdings lent out 137 million shares to facilitate in the share placement, which is beneficially owned by the YZJ Settlement in which Ren Yuanlin, chairman of YZJ, is deemed interested in. Pursuant to the full settlement of the loan of the shares, Ren’s deemed interest in YZJ has enlarged from 22.7 percent to 25.4 percent as of 25 September 2017.

 Health Management International

Health Management International (HMI) owns and operates two tertiary hospitals in Malaysia – namely Regency Specialist Hospital (Regency) in Johor as well as Mahkota Medical Centre (Mahkota) in Malacca.

Mahkota, one of the most comprehensive cancer centre South of Kuala Lumpur, has plans to increase its capacity by adding 34 beds to its existing 266 beds making it to 300 beds in FY18. In addition, the medical centre stands to benefit from more flight routes for the Malacca airport in October 2017, which currently only offers flights to Pekanbaru and Penang.

Meanwhile, following a successful turn-around in 2014, HMI has confirmed its plans to double Regency’s bed capacity from the current 218-beds to an eventual 500-beds hospital. Construction of the new extension block is expected to commence in FY18 and slated for completion by FY21 at an estimated cost of RM160 million.

Both hospitals continue to register healthy patient growth as patients volume grew 3.7 percent year-on-year in 4Q17 and the growth of foreign patients has outpaced local patients. With the acquisition of 100 percent stake in the two hospitals completed in March 2017, higher earnings contribution due to the full ownership structure can be expected.

'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.

SGX Market Analysis of Yoma Strategic Holdings

This follows from an Official Development Assistance loan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency, and would allow individual farmers and smallscale commercial operations to tap on capital to procure modern agriculture equipment such as tractors.

The successful implementation of this could be beneficial towards Yoma’s distribution and after-sales services for New Holland tractors.

This development comes on the heels of the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation’s nationwide mechanization programme involving 600 New Holland tractors being delivered to farmers in Myanmar.

Recall that as of 1QFY18, Yoma will deliver the remaining 312 tractors under the programme, and is expected to record ~S$8m in further revenue moving forward.

You won’t complain when the stock prices rise. However, if they drop, you could end up losing all that you had invested in it.

Singapore Market Update: HNA calls for shareholder meeting to vote on privatising-CWT offer

CIMB Research is keeping its “add” call on China Jinjiang Environment (CJE) with an unchanged target price of $1.10, despite lowering its earnings per share (EPS) forecasts.

The research house is trimming China Jinjiang’s FY17-FY19F EPS by 1.8%, 2.2%, and 2.0%, respectively.

CIMB Share Market analyst Keith Li says this is to adjust for its new project completion schedule.

The Hong Kong-listed unit pursuing the purchase, HNA Holding Group Co., has scheduled an extraordinary general meeting for Sept 6, according to the people.

It plans to announce the date of the extraordinary general meeting to the stock exchange soon, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private information.

CWT shares closed Friday at $2.13, an 8.6% discount to the HNA offer of $2.33 per share, a sign some investors see risks that the takeover won’t be completed as the Chinese government ramps up scrutiny of serial dealmakers.

Banks working on financing the acquisition have been seeking more information from HNA and started scrutinising its debt levels more closely, people with knowledge of the matter said in July.

HNA Holding announced last month that it expects to hold a shareholder vote on the deal between the end of August and early September.

All the pre-conditions of the acquisition must be fulfilled or waived by Sept 9 for it to proceed. A representative for CWT declined to comment, while a representative for HNA Group didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Chinese regulators have been assessing the risks that HNA Group and other acquisitive companies pose to the country’s financial system.

HNA Group has announced more than US$40 billion of purchases since the beginning of 2016, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

How do I successfully pick stocks? in Singapore Stock market

This question is right up there with “What is love?”, “Does God exist?”, and “Why does toast always fall butter side down?” in the pantheon of the great unanswerable of life.

 

However, that doesn’t stop people – and me – from trying to answer.

There are lots and lots of possible ways to address this. For our purposes here, I’m going to suggest that for the biggest gains, exploit the holy trinity of growth investing: 

(1) find a growing sector, 

(2) identify the leading company in this sector and 

(3) buy the leading company when it’s cheap.

When it comes to stocks, buying the best – at the right price – is worth it.

There are a lot of ways to make (and lose) money as an investor. Some strategies are very complex. Others are common sense and simple to understand – but not always easy to implement…

As a rule of thumb, if you invest in the best company in a dying industry, you’ll probably lose money. You’re fighting the tide and will probably wind up out at sea. And if you invest in an average company in a growing sector, things could go either way. (Of course valuations matter here as well.)

Here are two examples to show how the holy trinity works.

Noble shares were trading for US$18 in the spring of 2009. And it just so happens that SGX met all three of the investment trifecta at that time:

1) Top Sector: Smartphone use was on the verge of exploding

2) Leading Company: There was no product like the iPhone, not to mention SGX other Stock of Singapore Share Market .

3) Cheap Valuation: Despite its growth rate and outlook, SGX stock carried a price-to-earnings (P/E) multiple nearly the same as the S&P 500 – in other words, it was valued the same as an average stock on the S&P 500, even though it was a leading company in a high-growth sector

If you’d bought Singapore shares in the spring of 2009 when it met the three growth criteria, you would have made nearly 400 percent over the next three years (compared to the return of the S&P 500 of about 50 percent). And if you held on to the shares until today, you’d be up over 500 percent.


(Of course, “if only” is not a valid investment strategy (as in, “if only I bought SGX share when they were just US$18”). We all have perfect hindsight – and if these decisions were always obvious and easy we’d all be rich. We know now that smartphone usage was about to blow up in 2009. Did we know that then? Well, I’m sure some people did.)

In early 2013, Chrome was already Singapore top search engine. Shares were trading for US$90 each.

Even then, Chrome still met the three top stock Investment criteria:

1) Top Sector: Internet search had been growing steadily for years and forecasts called for more of the same

2) Leading Company:  Singapore had long before overtaken Google in China, the world’s fastest growing economy at the time

3) Cheap Valuation: Singapore stock’s P/E (price-to-earnings) ratio had pulled back to 20, a small premium to the market, despite its long growth history and positive outlook

Over the next year and a half, SGX shares moved up nearly 200 percent.

At the time, Sinograness & SIA were not undiscovered gems. They were already giant, successful companies.

While it appeared that their success would continue, at the time their stories felt stale to many investors – some of whom no doubt felt the need to try to discover new emerging companies to earn a big return. But ignoring the well-run market leaders trading at a reasonable valuation was a mistake.

This easy-to-understand strategy – identify a leading sector, find the leading company in the sector, buy when the stock valuations are cheap – isn’t so easy to execute. Is a high-growth sector slowing down? Has the leading company in the sector lost its way with a misguided strategy or management mistakes? Is the apparently attractive valuation accurately pricing in a slowdown in growth?

And of course, we all have perfect hindsight. These opportunities are obvious now, but may not have been at the time.

But the strategy does work. You just need to watch for growing sectors, and buy the leading company in the sector when its stock price isn’t too expensive.
