Global Logistic Properties Ltd: Actively conducting share buybacks
- Since its FY16 results announcement on May 19, GLP has been actively conducting company share buybacks in the open market.
- So far, the company has gone into the market on 14 occasions to purchase some 26.7m shares for S$48m, which translates to an average price of S$1.80 per share.
- Given the group’s strong balance sheet with, on a pro-forma basis, US$2.0b cash with a look-through net debt to assets ratio of 24%, there is significant capital to deploy and we believe that these share buybacks are accretive to shareholders at currently undervalued share prices.
- We continue to take a positive view on management team’s pragmatic and disciplined approach to capital allocation in current conditions, and continue to see long- term value in GLP’s shares.
- That said, we are cognizant of the increased scope for volatility ahead as the market continues to seek clarity regarding Chinese macro-economic risks.
- Maintain BUY with an unchanged fair value estimate of S$2.37.
