Global Logistic Properties - DBS Research 2016-02-05: Entrenched leadership position GLOBAL LOGISTIC PROP LIMITED MC0.SI 

Global Logistic Properties - Entrenched leadership position 


Leveraging on China’s rapidly growing e-commerce sector. 

  • We maintain BUY on Global logistics Properties (GLP) with TP of S$2.47, pegged at a wider 30% discount to RNAV to reflect ongoing uncertainties in the operating environment. 
  • With the largest portfolio of modern logistics warehouses in China, GLP remains on the front seat to benefit from China’s rising consumerism and thriving e-commerce outlook. 

Confidence to achieve development pipeline in FY16. 

  • As of 9M16, GLP had achieved 55% of its target for development starts in FY16 (US$2.9bn, GLP share of S$1.4bn) with China and Japan lagging behind at 63% and 54% of the full-year target. 
  • We understand that management is confident of achieving full-year target given strong demand for space currently under negotiation. 
  • In terms of completions, management expects to achieve its full-year target of US$2.0bn (GLP share of US$880m) despite having achieved only 66% of that currently. 
  • Regulatory approvals should be obtained soon, which will pave the way for most of projects pending completion. 

AUMAUM of fund management platform rose to S$32bn. 

  • As of end Dec-15, total AUM rose to US$22.3bn, and the group has another US$9.8bn of uncalled capital to be deployed. 
  • Given that this business is a highly scalable and ROE-enhancing business arm of the group, management is focusing on driving returns and operational scale by establishing new funds. 

Valuation: 

  • We maintain our BUY call, with target price revised to S$2.47 pegged at a wider 30% discount to RNAV. 

Key Risks to Our View: 

  • A faster-than-expected ramp-up in competing supply on the back of a slowdown in China's retail sector, impacting on demand for logistics warehouses (unclear).
