Singapore Stock Alpha Picks (October 2018) - Alpha Picks: Hoping For A Strong Finish
- Our alpha picks did relatively well, outperforming in 3Q18. We remove Wheelock Properties as there was no revision to the offer price and ST Engineering has been added to reflect its recent accretive and strategic M&A.
WHAT’S NEW
Encouraging performance in 3Q18 from our portfolio.
- Our portfolio performed relatively well in 3Q18, outperforming the FSSTI. During the period, the FSSTI actually declined 0.4% q-o-q. This compares to our alpha picks which delivered positive returns of 0.9% (market cap weighted) and 2.4% (equal weighted basis).
ACTION
Refreshing picks with the addition of ST Engineering and cutting loss on Wheelock.
- We remove Wheelock Properties from our alpha picks and suffered a 3% loss as there was no revision in the initial price.
- Otherwise, we add ST Engineering to our conviction list after its recent accretive M&A, which we deem to be strategic.

ST Engineering – BUY (K Ajith)

- Moving up the value chain with the acquisition of nacelle manufacturer MRAS. ST Engineering's (STE) S$606m planned acquisition of MRAS will be the company's biggest thus far and is expected to be immediately accretive, with EPS rising by 1.2 S cents in 2019 and another 1.72 S cents in 2020. By moving up the production value chain, the aerospace division will be moving up to an arena with less competition, unlike the maintenance business. Earnings will also be less orderbook dependent, given that Airbus' orderbook backlog for the Airbus A320 Neo is estimated at 9-10 years.
- Dividend payout will not be impacted. We expect STE's internal operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund dividend payout of 17 S cents in 2019. This is based on a payout of 85% in 2019. Based on that, STE would be offering an attractive yield of 4.7% at S$3.59 for 2019.

- Event: Guidance on MRAS revenue structure.
- Timeline: 3-6 months.

- Higher NIMs from re-pricing of mortgages. Management expects a significant portion of its mortgages to be re-priced in 3Q18, especially those pegged to long-term deposit rates and prime rates. It ensures that upward movements in SIBOR and SOR are sustainable before it adjusts the interest rates for mortgages. Mortgages accounted for 26.1% of OCBC's total loans.
- Room to raise dividends. We see room for OCBC to gradually raise dividends. The group’s dividend payout ratios are 40-50%.

- We have a target price of S$1.86, which assumes a terminal growth rate of 2.5% and risk-free rate of 2.75%.
- CDREIT’s Singapore hotel segment could benefit from:
- a recovery in corporate travel,
- Chinese visitor growth, and
- tight supply pipeline.
- Hotel room supply is limited beyond 2017, with only 769, 1,664 and 392 rooms coming on-stream in 2018-20 respectively (2017: 2,868 new rooms).
- Even with the new land for hotels included under the 2H18 Government Land Sales (GLS), new supply (potentially 930 rooms) will only come on-stream after 2020, which suggests tight near-term supply.
Share Price Catalyst
- Event: Positive data points on visitor arrivals, average length of stay, average daily room rate, RevPAR and supply pipeline. Positive results from new operator and repositioning of its Maldives Hotel.

- The merger between TPG Telecom and Vodafone Hutchinson Australia is positive as it will consolidate the market in Australia from four to three players, which could lead to pricing stability. As at 1QFY19, Optus accounted for 21% of Singtel’s pre-tax profit.
- The group is least affected by a fourth mobile operator in Singapore as overseas businesses account for about 70% of its bottom-line. BUY with a target price of S$3.98.

- Solid proxy to recovering oil prices. CSE is a good proxy to recovering oil prices as two- thirds of its existing orderbook of S$175m come from the O&G sector. In addition, the stock offers a sustainable dividend yield of more than 6%.
- High entry barriers. The group has a 32-year track record in a business with high entry barriers. CSE is one of the few qualified system integrators in the region for O&G and communication infrastructure industries.
