Singapore Alpha Picks - CIMB Analysts' Alpha Picks For 2017 (Large Cap)
- Big-caps Stock Picks: China Aviation Oil CAO, First Resources, FCL, Genting Singapore, UOL and Thai Beverage (new).
- We remove ST Engineering STE (outperformance YTD).
- Look to buy on weakness as smart-nation and ICT spending will be medium-term drivers.
China Aviation Oil (TP S$2.28)
- CAO trades at CY18F P/E of 10x vs. global peers’ c.16.4x and our target of 13x CY18F P/E. It is net cash (S$0.26/share) and has a committed dividend payout of 30% p.a., which implies CY18F yield of 3.0%.
- Main exposure to two of the largest global aviation markets (China and US) underpins growth of jet fuel supply/trading and associate contributions (mainly SPIA). It is also a beneficiary of global trade opportunities with China’s “outward” policies (i.e.
- ‘One Belt, One Road’) via major shareholder CNAF.
- Quality sustained CY17 net profit performance and dividend in 4Q are catalysts. The stock was admitted to the MSCI Singapore Small-Cap Index in May 17.
First Resources Ltd (TP S$2.32)
- First Resources trades at P/Es of 14x for FY17 and 11x for FY18, below the regional plantation sector average P/E of 18x for FY17. Our target price of S$2.32 is based on an FY18 P/E of 13x, the stock’s average historical P/E.
- First Resources is our top pick among the Singapore planters due to its superior operating efficiency compared to peers, strong FFB output growth prospects and attractive P/E valuations vs. peers.
- A potential re-rating catalyst is stronger-than-expected earnings. Key risks are lower CPO prices and production.
Frasers Centrepoint Ltd (TP S$2.05)
- FCL is one of the cheapest listed Singapore property developer stocks, trading at a 36% discount to RNAV with a high dividend yield of 4.6%.
- It has a robust recurrent income profile, making up more than 75% of PBIT, and a strong growth profile as the group continues to deploy capital, such as the recent acquisition of Geneba Properties.
- An additional catalyst for share price outperformance could materialise should the group’s free float be increased and trading liquidity improves.
Genting Singapore (TP S$1.24)
- GENS trades at CY18F EV/EBITDA of 9.1x vs. its historical 6-year average of 11.3x and our target of 12x. It is still net cash (FY17F S$2.4bn) ex-perp redemption and committed to FY17F DPS of 3 Scts.
- Forward adjusted EBITDA is now optimised following tight credit policies (lower forward trade receivable provisions). Its forward EPS will be relieved by S$118m p.a. post perp redemptions by 4Q17. RWS is being rebranded as a premier lifestyle-based integrated resort and redevelopment of RWS could lead to stabilised market share.
- Dividends in 3Q/4Q and sustained CY17 EBITDA recovery are near-term catalysts. Positive updates on Japan Casino Bill are mid-long-term catalysts.
- Licence bidding could occur from mid-18 onwards.
Thai Beverage (TP S$1.07)
- Thaibev’s investment thesis is about the company transforming into a truly regional beverage play, with catalysts to come from the potential corporate restructuring of F&N/FCL and inorganic opportunities in Vietnam.
- Closer to home, Thaibev has done well to maintain its dominant market position (#1 in spirits, #2 in beer) in Thailand, even as consumption post the mourning period remains muted. Any market share gains for Chang will re-rate the stock, in our view.
- Trading at 20x forward P/E, Thaibev is still below peers and we see room for positive re-rating upon corporate activity.
UOL Group (TP S$7.96)
- UOL is trading at an attractive 30% discount to RNAV. The group is well levered to the Singapore property market recovery, with c.40% of its NAV exposed to this market.
- UOL acquired two residential sites in late-2016 and this boosted its potential launch inventory to 915 units. This will enable the group to leverage on any uptick in residential prices.
- Catalysts could come from its ability to increase its stake in associate UIC without being subject to the ‘creep up’ rule.
