Capitaland - Towards An Optimal Mix
Driven by an improved outlook in China.
- We maintain our BUY call with a target price of S$3.73 based on a 25% discount to our RNAV.
- We believe that CAPL offers value, trading at an attractive 0.8x P/Bk and 0.6x P/RNAV.
- We expect the group’s strategy to focus on growing its commercial portfolio, and coupled with opportunistic asset recycling of mature assets into its listed REITs/funds will present upside to our earnings.
Growing recurring revenues from its retail malls portfolio and Ascott.
- Its current property portfolio has up to 75% of its assets in retail malls, and commercial integrated developments, including Ascott Group, which offer strong income visibility in the medium term.
- We see improved operating performance for its malls, as the properties reach maturity, boosted by the completion of four Raffles City mega developments in China in the medium term.
Launch of new PE funds to boost returns.
- Leveraging on its fund management expertise, CAPL aims to launch 5-6 private equity funds with funds under management of S$8bn-10bn by 2020. We think that by tapping on third party capital, CAPL would be able to leverage on its larger scale to achieve better economies of scale, capitalise on market opportunities and at the same time de-risk its property level exposure.
Valuation:
- Our target price of S$3.73 is based on a 25% discount to our RNAV of S$4.97/share. Our RNAV is based on our estimates of the market valuation of its various property developments and investment property assets across its various divisions.
Key Risks to Our View:
- Slowdown in Asian economies. The risk to our view is if there is a slowdown in Asian economies, especially China, which could dampen demand for housing and private consumption expenditure and retail sales.
