Global Logistic Properties - DBS Research 2016-05-20: Trading at attractive levels GLOBAL LOGISTIC PROP LIMITED MC0.SI 

Global Logistic Properties - Trading at attractive levels

  • Core FY16 earnings increased 20% y-o-y, in line
  • Management turns cautious and lowers development targets
  • Looking to US and potentially Europe to grow AUM



Bad news priced in. 

  • We maintain BUY on Global logistics Properties (GLP) with TP of S$2.47, pegged at 30% discount to RNAV to reflect ongoing uncertainties in the operating environment. 
  • Trading at a trough level of 0.8x P/BV, we believe the cautious outlook is priced in.

Underlying business remains stable despite lower development pipeline. 

  • Despite a lower development pipeline in FY17, the underlying business remains stable with a high lease ratio of 92% and decent growth in rents on renewals. 
  • Its dominant position in the respective markets and modern facilities is an advantage in a competitive market.

AUM of fund management platform rose to US$35bn. 

  • As at end-FY16, total AUM rose to US$35bn, and the group has another US$11bn of uncalled capital to be deployed. 
  • Given that this business is a highly scalable and an 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 and target price of S$2.47, pegged at 30% discount to RNAV. 
  • Despite a weaker outlook, we believe the current share price, which is trading at a trough level of 0.8x P/BV, is attractive.

Key Risks to Our View:

  • Faster-than-expected ramp-up in competing supply on the back of a slowdown in China's retail sector would impact demand for logistics warehouses.
