My Investment Portfolio (December 2015)

STI ended the year at around 2882 points, above last month but down 14% for the year. STI had the "honour" of being the worst performing South East Asia market index for the year. For the month of December, there is not much activity as most investors were on holiday.

For this month, I have attended the following AGMs/EGMs/briefings - SPH, LippoMalls Trust, Ezra, Kencana, Fortune REIT, First REIT and Second Chance Properties.

For my top 30 holdings, Sarine Technologies was again a big mover but this time gaining ground. CapitaLand returned to the list after a decent share price performance as their China developments is expected to do well when they report their full-year results. A-REIT was a poor performer after they announced a fund raising exercise to acquire new assets.

I have bought the following companies from the market this month - AIMS Property, Chuan Hup, First Sponsor, GLP, Hong Kong Land, Hotel Royal, Hotung, IPC Corp, Isetan, Kencana, Keppel T&T, Lion AsiaPac, LTC Corp, Nam Lee, S'pore Shipping, ST Engineering, Stamford Land and UIC. I have closed my positions in Eastern Holdings and Technics Oil & Gas.

I have subscribed to the following rights issues - ARA and CSC. I have also participated in the following scrip dividend scheme - AusNet Services.

Next month will be the start of the new year and market activity is expected to pick up slowly. Companies with financial year ending 30 September 2015 will also be holding their AGM and I will be attending some of these to get some updates. I will also reserve some cash to subscribe for the upcoming A-REIT preferential offer.

IPS Securex Holdings - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: Ready To Blast Off In FY16

IPS SECUREX HOLDINGS LIMITED 41E.SI 

IPS Securex Holdings (IPSS SP) - Ready To Blast Off In FY16 

• As political instability grows around the region, ongoing disputes in certain countries and increasing national security concerns have led to higher government defence budgets around the region. This puts IPS at an advantage to benefit from this situation. 
• With such a bright outlook ahead due to additional potential incoming contracts, coupled with a potential special dividend in FY16F, we maintain BUY, with a SGD0.38 TP (23% upside) based on 7.2x FY16 P/E.

Ho Bee Land - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: Fortune Favours The Brave

HO BEE LAND LIMITED H13.SI 

Ho Bee Land (HOBEE SP) - Fortune Favours The Brave 

• We like Ho Bee for the steady execution of its strategy to grow recurring income. 
• BUY with a SGD2.57 TP (29% upside). 
• The group has now built up a steady rental income of c.SGD130m, and would benefit from a recovery in the high-end residential market via its remaining inventory in Sentosa. 
• Management remains on the lookout to landbank opportunistically in Singapore, and has a strong balance sheet to expand with net gearing at 0.5x.

Global Invacom Group - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: Gearing Up For a Turnaround In FY16

GLOBAL INVACOM GROUP LIMITED QS9.SI 

Global Invacom Group (RAD SP) - Gearing Up For a Turnaround In FY16 

• We believe share price and EPS have hit rock-bottom and expect a strong FY16 turnaround on a demand surge from new satellite launches, cross-selling of products and new generation items, and Skyware’s turnaround. 
• Maintain BUY with a SGD0.40 TP (167% upside, 10x FY16F P/E) on insider purchases and orders resumptions from major clients. 
• Currently valued at 1.9x ex-cash FY16F P/E, the stock has also been way oversold.

Frasers Centrepoint Trust - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: Twinkle Twinkle Northern Star

FRASERS CENTREPOINT TRUST J69U.SI 

Frasers Centrepoint Trust (FCT SP) - Twinkle Twinkle Northern Star 

• We handpicked FCT as our Top BUY within the SREITs sector, as we admire its suburban resilience and strong growth potential in both the short and long term. 
• Maintain BUY and DDM-derived SGD2.22 TP (20% upside). 
• Given its strong retail dominance within Northern Singapore, we expect the REIT to register positive rental reversion for both CWP and NP, which constitute more than half of the total renewals in FY16.

First Resources - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: Top Pick For The Plantation Sector

FIRST RESOURCES LIMITED EB5.SI 

First Resources (FR SP) - Top Pick For The Plantation Sector 

• We believe El Nino’s impact on edible oil supply is likely to be one of the largest ever, given its current strength, and, as such, are raising our CPO price estimate to MYR2,700/tonne for 2016 (from MYR2,500). 
• There is no change to our BUY recommendation on this counter, as it remains our overall plantation Top Pick. 
• Our TP is at SGD2.69 (35% upside), based on 19x 2016F earnings.

Ezion Holdings - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: Toughing Through These Trying Trough Times

EZION HOLDINGS LIMITED 5ME.SI 

Ezion Holdings (EZI SP) - Toughing Through These Trying Trough Times 

• Ezion’s FY15 earnings are likely to be weaker YoY on some operating drag from eight vessels in dry-dock out of a fleet of 26 (as at Sep 2015). 
• The company should see net increases in fleet utilisation as these dry-docked units progressively return to work by 1H16. 
• Nine new units are to join the fleet to begin their long-term charters through FY16. 
• The stock trades at a 40% discount to BV, even though it would deliver a decent 11% ROE in this trough year

DBS - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: Anchored On Sound Fundamentals

DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD D05.SI 

DBS (DBS SP) - Anchored On Sound Fundamentals 

• Reiterate BUY on DBS, with a SGD21.10 TP (28% upside). 
• Its SGD34bn exposure to the broad commodities sector and SGD43bn China loan book remain in good shape, pointing to a manageable credit cost of 0 26bps for 2016F (2015F: 23bps). 
• Underlying operations are steady with operating income forecasted to improve 7% YoY on decent 5% YoY loan growth, stable NIM and a 9% YoY rise in non-interest income. 
• Its fully- loaded Common Equity Tier-1 ratio is at a comfortable 11.9%.

Dairy Farm - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: Banking On a Steady Growth Track Record

DAIRY FARM D01.SI 

Dairy Farm (DFI SP) - Banking On a Steady Growth Track Record 

• We are cognisant of ongoing challenges in Dairy Farm’s operating environment, heading into FY16. However, the company has a track record of steady growth, with net profit never declining for two years in a row since 2000. 
• In the meantime, current dividends are sustainable and would provide a cushion to its share price. Its investment into Yonghui could bring about a more meaningful entry into China.

ComfortDelGro (CD SP) - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: 2016 Should Be a Year Of Strong Growth

COMFORTDELGRO CORPORATION LTD C52.SI 

ComfortDelGro (CD SP) - 2016 Should Be a Year Of Strong Growth

• With benefits of positive core bus operations’ margins, capital freed up by the bus GCM implementation, rail business’ strong growth from the start of DTL2 and reduced competition from private car hire apps, we expect ComfortDelGro to register a 33% EPS growth in 2016. 
• Our DCF- based TP of SGD3.60 implies 0.6x 2016F PEG and, with limited potential for M&As, the company could potentially pay out higher dividends.

China Everbright Water - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: Waters Run Deep

CHINA EVERBRIGHT WATER LIMITED U9E.SI 

China Everbright Water (CEWL SP) - Still Waters Run Deep 

• We expect CEWL to ramp-up its operational capacity and pursue new capacity acquisitions in 2016, as HanKore and CEI have been inactive in the water space for some time. 
• Maintain BUY with a SGD0.81 TP (from SGD1.19, 19% upside) as we believe the reverse takeover of HanKore and the spinning off of CEI’s waste water arm allows the new enlarged firm to focus more on growing capacity going into next year.

SINGAPORE SHIPPING CORP LTD S19.SI 

Singapore Shipping Corp (SSCL SP) - Call Of Conviction 

• SSC is the only listed pure play PCTC company in the world that offers both safety and growth. 
• It is a conviction BUY with a DCF-derived SGD0.67 TP (116% upside), implying 13.5x FY16F P/E.

Wing Tai - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: Prime Beneficiary Of a High-End Recovery

WING TAI HLDGS LTD W05.SI 

Wing Tai (WINGT SP) - Prime Beneficiary Of a High-End Recovery 

• We like Wing Tai for its diversified earnings base and solid asset backing. 
• While a slump in high-end residential sales has saddled it with some unsold inventory, exposure is limited and we see the group as a beneficiary of any potential lifting of cooling measures. Its strong balance sheet enables it to deploy capital opportunistically to landbank and begin a new earnings cycle. 
• Maintain BUY with a SGD2.50 TP (46% upside), based on a 40% discount to its NAV.

CDL Hospitality Trusts - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: More Chinese Tourists Does Not Mean More Money

CDL HOSPITALITY TRUSTS CDLHT J85.SI 

CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDREIT SP) - More Chinese Tourists Does Not Mean More Money 

• Most believe that the recent Chinese tourist surge in Singapore could potentially be a catalyst to hoteliers. 
• Maintain SELL and DDM-derived SGD1.14 (14% downside), as we note that the influx of Chinese arrivals does not translate into higher RevPAR. 
• In addition, we expect CDLHT’s Maldives exposure to remain challenging as Chinese luxury spending continues to slow down in the midst of a weaker China economy.

Keppel REIT - RHB Research 2015-12-02: Aggressively-Leveraged Office REIT

KEPPEL REITK71U.SI 

Keppel REIT (KREIT SP) - Aggressively-Leveraged Office REIT 

• Maintain SELL, with a lower DDM-derived TP of SGD0.83 (11% downside). 
• We maintain our pessimistic outlook on the office rental market as we have concerns over the c.4.3m sq ft office supply glut next year. 
• As Keppel REIT could have among the biggest number of office leases expiring in 2016, we believe it would most likely be the most impacted compared to its peers. 
• In addition, it is the most aggressively-leveraged player within the SREIT space.

Super Group - RHB Invest 2015-12-02: Weak Blend Of Profit

SUPER GROUP LTD S10.SI 

Super Group (SUPER SP) - Weak Blend Of Profit 

• We believe competitive pressure remains intense in its key branded consumer markets. 
• Without a breakthrough in major new products or markets, substantial profit growth is unlikely to materialize at this stage. 
• In the near-term, investment costs to promote its new Essenso MicroGround Coffee may put pressure on margins. 
• We maintain SELL, with a TP of SGD0.67 (maintained).

KEONG HONG - UOB Kay Hian 2015-12-02: A Fruitful Year And Yet Another In FY16

KEONG HONG HOLDINGS LIMITED 5TT.SI 

KEONG HONG (KHHL SP) - A Fruitful Year And Yet Another In FY16 

VALUATION

• Maintain BUY with a slightly lower SOTP target price of S$0.635 as we factor in the S$0.04/share dividend that has been declared in FY15. 

RESULTS 

• 4QFY15 net profit surged 411% to S$22.5m mainly due to the recognition of property development profit from its sold out 20% owned executive condominium project, Twin Waterfalls. 
• Strong cash flow generation boost net cash position. Keong Hong generated free cash flow of S$37.5m during FY15 as net cash swelled to S$33.6m (S$0.149/share) as at 30 Sep 15.

Riverstone Holdings - UOB Kay Hian 2015-12-02: Everything Has A Price; Downgrade To HOLD

RIVERSTONE HOLDINGS LIMITED AP4.SI 

Riverstone Holdings (RSTON SP) - Everything Has A Price; Downgrade To HOLD 

• We downgrade the stock to HOLD from BUY after its stellar outperformance. 
• The group remains on track to see its healthcare glove production capacity grow to 8.2b pieces/year by 2018 and an earnings CAGR of 30% over the next 3 years, but these positives appear to be priced in. 
• We have a target price of S$2.34, based on the sector’s FY16F PE of 19.4x. 
• Entry price: S$2.10.

Sembcorp Marine - Maybank Kim Eng 2015-12-02: Expect losses in 4Q15

SEMBCORP MARINE LTD S51.SI 

Sembcorp Marine (SMM SP) - Expect losses in 4Q15  

Warns of net loss in 4Q15 

• SMM warned that it will have a net loss in 4Q15 and FY15 net profit will be significantly lower YoY when it reports on 15 Feb 2016. It attributes the expected 4Q loss to a challenging operating environment and customers deferring or seeking to defer their rig orders. 
• We cut FY15E/16E EPS by 33%/6% as we factor in more deferrals and importantly, an assumed provision of SGD70m in 4Q15. 
• Reiterate SELL and TP of SGD1.75 as we continue to expect weak order wins, cancellation risks and unresolved payment issues from Sete Brasil to weigh on the stock.

Sembcorp Marine - OCBC Investment 2015-12-02: To post net loss in 4Q15

SEMBCORP MARINE LTD S51.SI 

Sembcorp Marine: To post net loss in 4Q15 

• Sembcorp Marine (SMM) issued a profit warning last evening, saying it expects to report a net loss for 4Q15 and a significant decline in net profit for FY15. In the statement, SMM attributed this to the challenging operating environment and customers deferring or seeking to defer their rig orders. 
• We believe this could be partly due to a profit reversal from the jack-up rig in dispute with Marco Polo Marine; there has also been talk that Seadrill may be reevaluating its US$568m semi-submersible rig (West Rigel) which it ordered in Apr 2012.

Singapore Strategy - OCBC Investment 2015-12-01: Bumpy road ahead, but opportunities exist

SHENG SIONG GROUP LTD OV8.SI  CAPITALAND LIMITED C31.SI  RAFFLES MEDICAL GROUP LTD R01.SI  DBS GROUP HOLDINGS LTD D05.SI  QAF LTD Q01.SI 

Singapore Strategy: Bumpy road ahead, but opportunities exist 

 Softness in 2016 

 Volatility is the new norm 

 Stick with quality stocks 

A year of two halves 

• 2015 was a challenging year of two halves. 
• The first half benefited from spillover optimism from 2014, but this quickly evaporated as the market entered into the second half of the year. Sentiment was dragged down by several key events including Yuan devaluation, the sell-down in Chinese equities, slower growth from Emerging Markets and weakness in commodities.

ComfortDelGro - RHB invest 2015-11-30: Optimistic On Strong Profit Growth

COMFORTDELGRO CORPORATION LTD C52.SI 

ComfortDelGro (CD SP) - Optimistic On Strong Profit Growth

• In line with expected growth in 2016 bus/taxi/rail operations – well supported by bus GCM transition and a drop in competitive intensity for taxis – we upgrade ComfortDelGro to BUY (from Neutral) and raise DCF-based TP to SGD3.60 (from SGD2.86, 23% upside). 
• It could see a SGD710m cash inflow of SGD710m from a bus assets sale to the LTA. 
• As management sees limited M&A prospects, its strong net cash balance sheet could translate into higher dividends.

SMRT Corp - RHB Invest 2015-11-30: Waiting For Rail Reforms To Be Unveiled

SMRT CORPORATION LTD S53.SI 

SMRT Corp (MRT SP) - Waiting For Rail Reforms To Be Unveiled 

• We think most negatives, ie higher rail maintenance costs and elevated rail infrastructure capex, are already priced in. 
• Upgrade SMRT to NEUTRAL (from Sell) and raise TP to SGD1.60 (from SGD1.10, 12% upside), aided by lower WACC and cash inflow from a FY17 bus assets sale. 
• We have not factored in rail reforms (by 2019 possibly). 
• A back-of-envelope calculation suggests a 37% rise to our current TP if reforms are implemented in FY19.

COMFORTDELGRO CORPORATION LTD S52.SI  SMRT CORPORATION LTD S53.SI 

Singapore Land Transport - 2016 Could Be a Year Of Many (Positive) Changes

• Amidst expectations of increased pace of reforms, we upgrade Land Transport sector to OVERWEIGHT; we estimate ComfortDelGro and SMRT to receive SGD710m and SGD207m of cash inflow from sale of bus assets. 
• Competitive intensity in taxi business should drop as Uber/GrabCar are brought under regulatory purview. 
• There are reasons supporting the implementation of a new rail financing framework before 2019; LTA could provide clarity on rail reforms as early as 2017.

Singapore REITs - Maybank Kim Eng 2015-11-30: Industrials ~ Cleanest Dirty Shirt

AREIT ASCENDAS REAL ESTATE INV TRUST A17U.SI  MAPLETREE INDUSTRIAL TRUST ME8U.SI 

Industrials: Cleanest Dirty Shirt 

• SREITs have declined 16% off their Apr15 peaks and are 11% down YTD. Over the same periods, the STI is down 19% and 15%. We maintain that SREITs are in a de-rating phase, more sensitive to growth risks than interest rates. 
• Compounding weak demand, 2016-18 supply is front loaded but averaging 2.0x historical demand for retail, 1.4x for office and 1.2x for industrial. 
• Industrial REIT valuations seem to have priced in the negatives. Not so for retail. For office, to a certain extent. Areit & MINT are our recommended picks. Top SELLs: FCT, MCT, CT.

Property Singapore - UOB Kay Hian Research 2015-11-30: 1H16 Strategy ~ Interest-ing Times For Real Estate

Singapore Property WING TAI HLDGS LTD W05.SI  CITY DEVELOPMENTS LIMITEDC09.SI  ASCOTT RESIDENCE TRUST A68U.SI  MAPLETREE LOGISTICS TRUST M44U.SI  CAPITALAND COMMERCIAL TRUST C61U.SI 

Property – Singapore 1H16 Strategy: Interest-ing Times For Real Estate 

• We recommend an OVERWEIGHT stance on the sector as we believe concerns over a rise in interest rates have been overblown. 
• We prefer developers over REITs. 
• Developers are trading near undeserving crisis valuations and offer an attractive 6:1 reward-to-risk proposition. S-REIT yield spreads remain the most attractive regionally, with upcycle yield spreads indicating 30% upside potential. 
• Our top picks are CDL, Wing Tai, ART, MLT and CCT which offer deep-value and diversification.

STARHUB LTD CC3.SI  SINGTEL Singapore Telecommunications Z74.SI  M1 LIMITED B2F.SI 

Telecoms Sector: Maintain OVERWEIGHT in uncertain times 

 Yields largely recovered above 5% 

 Defensive businesses, strong cashflows 

 M1 has the highest expected total return 

Fear of a fourth telco? 

• For nearly a year, the market has been rife with talk of a fourth telco emerging to increase competition here. However, we understand that the IDA is only likely to give its decision in early 2016.

StarHub Ltd - OCBC Investment 2015-11-30: Hubbing strategy may be its forte

STARHUB LTD CC3.SI 

StarHub Ltd: Hubbing strategy may be its forte 

 Outlook still mostly stable 

 Hubbing offers sizable discounts 

 Yield still decent at 5.5% 

Recently guided for flat FY15 service revenue 

• Despite a pretty decent 9M15 showing, StarHub Ltd lowered its FY15 service revenue guidance to be maintained at 2014 level, versus the previous guidance of low single-digit range growth, citing falling voice usage, especially in roaming and IDD services, in its mobile segment; but this is likely to be mitigated by subscription revenue, which should continue to increase with growth in the subscriber base in both the consumer and enterprise segment as well as higher data consumption.

Plantation - UOB Kay Hian 2015-11-30: A Boost From El Nino And Biodiesel

Plantation Sector WILMAR INTERNATIONAL LIMITED F34.SI  FIRST RESOURCES LIMITED EB5.SI  GOLDEN AGRI-RESOURCES LTD E5H.SI  BUMITAMA AGRI LTD P8Z.SI 

Plantation - A Boost From El Nino And Biodiesel 

• The plantation sector’s outlook is turning positive. CPO prices are expected to be supported by a stronger-than-expected El Nino and higher demand on Indonesia’s higher biodiesel blending mandate. 
• We raise our ASP assumptions to RM2,500-2,600 for 2015-16. Among the three markets, we prefer Singapore-listed companies as FR and BAL have a young age profile and will benefit from Indonesia’s biodiesel policies. 
• Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

JUMBO GROUP LIMITED 42R.SI 

JUMBO GROUP (JUMBO SP) - Looking Forward To FY16 

VALUATION 

 Maintain BUY and target price of S$0.49. 

• Our target price has an implied FY16F PE of 20.5x which is comparable to its regional peers such as Cafe De Coral and Breadtalk. 

RESULTS 

 FY15 adjusted net profit comparable to FY14. 

• Assuming the restructuring exercise had been completed at start of FY15, FY15 proforma profit to owners would have been S$13.1m, forming 103% of our full-year forecast. After excluding one-off IPO expenses, FY15 adjusted net profit will have been about S$14.0m and fairly comparable to FY14.

IHH Healthcare - CIMB Research 2015-11-27: 3Q seasonally weak; expect strong 4Q

IHH HEALTHCARE BERHAD Q0F.SI 

IHH Healthcare - 3Q seasonally weak; expect strong 4Q 

• 3Q15 core earnings were broadly in line; 9M15 formed 68% of our forecast (vs. 69% in FY14). 
• Core net profit growth (+16% yoy) was mostly driven by higher average inpatient revenue in Turkey, ramp-up at Novena Singapore and marginal growth in Malaysia. 
• 3Q15 EBITDA margins declined to 23.1% (2Q15: 26.1%, 3Q14: 23.9%) due to share-based expenses, new hospitals in M’sia, and bad debt provisions in Turkey. 
• 4Q is seasonally stronger (weather related and increased patient traffic come yearend). Maintain Add.
