Fu Yu Corp - Rolling Out Pro-Shareholder Policies
- Fuyu has implemented a dividend policy of paying out at least 50% of PATMI.
- We think it is likely to pay even more, eg 100% of earnings, due to its strong cash-generative operations as well as strong net cash position, which represents about 75% of its current market capitalisation.
- We also expect the company to implement its share buyback programmes.
- In addition, with recent privatisation and M&A activities heating up, we think that Fuyu could be an attractive target for a takeover, especially by its peers.
- Maintain a conviction BUY, with a SGD0.29 TP (47% upside).
50% of PATMI or more.
- Fuyu has implemented a dividend policy of paying out at least 50% of its PATMI.
- We think that it is likely to pay out even more of a percentage, such as 100% of earnings, due to its strong cash-generative operations which generate about SGD20m-30m a year, as well as its strong net cash position which represents about 75% of its current market capitalisation, coupled with its plans to just maintain capex around FY15 levels.
- This dividend policy would at least reassure shareholders that management is keen to reward them consistently (like we highlighted previously) – which dispels any doubts that FY15’s attractive payout level was a one-off affair.
Share buyback programme likely to be implemented.
- With the excess cash, we think that management is likely to use some of it to implement a share buyback programme, coupled with a pro-shareholder active dividend policy in order to meet the minimum trading price of SGD0.20 as required by SGX.
An attractive privatisation/takeover target.
- With privatisation and M&A activities heating up in the Singapore market recently, Fuyu may be an attractive and potential target for a takeover, especially by its peers, due to its strong cash-generative operations, high net cash position and low valuations.
Maintain conviction BUY with a DCF-backed TP of SGD0.29.
- Fuyu is a safe haven full of cash, with strong cash flow generation and high dividend yield (11.4% in FY16F).
- With pro-shareholder policies starting to be implemented, like its dividend payout policy of at least 50% of PATMI, we think that more of such policies could gradually roll out, eg a share buyback programme.
- We also think that Fuyu is an attractive takeover target, especially by its peers.
- Despite such a tough macro environment, we expect it to tough it out like it has always done and focus on profitability – with additional cost-cutting and right-sizing measures to carry on in FY16.
- All in all, we think that Fuyu is a solid investment in tough markets and maintain our conviction BUY, with a DCF-backed TP of SGD0.29 implying 12.8x FY16F P/E.
Key risks:
- Depreciation of the value of the USD and an economic recession.
