Today's Focus
STI - Range trading 3095 to 3150 near term
Eyes will be on the emerging market equity indices of Jakarta, Thailand and India again. The Jakarta Composite Index fell as low as 4062, c.110pts away from our stated short-term technical support level, before ending yesterday at 4175 while Thailand finished the session down almost 2%, also off session lows. For the STI, we see the support at 3095-3100 holding intact in the short-term but near-term resistance is at 3150. Choppy movement is expected in the days/week ahead.
In PM Lee Hsien Loong's NDR speech, he outlined new strategic plans to assist Singaporeans to cope with global changes, an ageing society and rising inequality. Policy changes focusing on infrastructure, healthcare, housing and education addresses social needs as well as chart the long term plans to maintain Singapore's leading aviation hub status.
Plans to upgrade and expand Changi Airport with the revamp of T1 new terminals T4 and T5, and an additional runway will double the airport's total capacity to 132m passengers by 2023. Clear winners are MRO players - SIA Engg, ST Engineering, while SATS may face more competition from new entrants. Construction of these mega projects costing >S$1.5bn will raise construction demand, benefiting specialist contractor like Yongnam and building material supplier Pan United.
The relocation of Paya Lebar airbase and revamp of Southern corridor to meet long term population needs will benefit industrial REITS with assets in Paya Lebar - Sabana (49%), Mapletree Industrial Trust (29%) and Cambridge REIT (19%) while beneficiaries of the redevelopment plans for Southern Corridor are Mapletree Commercial and Keppel Land.
The Rupiah weakness is net positive to the Indonesian plantation companies. The CPO price is USD-linked, because the benchmark is CIF Rotterdam. For every 1% weakness in Rupiah the revenue will also increase by 1%; whereas the cost will increase by 0.4%-0.7%, mainly from the fertiliser cost. The CRB index (palm oil price included) has been lifted by buoyant crude oil price, affected by concerns over Suez canal closure due to Egypt unrest. For every 1% weakness in Rupiah, the impact breakdown on FY14F income statement for Bumitama is +1.7% and Indo Agri Resources +3.4%.
Keppel Corp has secured a contract worth US$280m from Floatel, to build its fifth accommodation semisubmersible for delivery in 4Q 2015. The continuous support from repeat customer is a testimonial to Keppel's product quality and project execution. The pricing is about 8% higher than the previous KFEL proprietary accommodation semisubmersible awarded by Floatel in 2011, partly due to the higher specs. We understand the contract has a back-end loaded payment term. The latest win brings Keppel's YTD new orders to US$4.3bn, forming 72% of our full year assumption of US$6bn. Maintain BUY and TP of S$12.90.
Sembcorp Marine (SMM) has signed a MOU with two partners: 1) national oil company - Saudi Aramco; and 2) National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia (Bahri), to explore the feasibility of building a maritime yard in Saudi Arabia. The yard will provide engineering, manufacturing & repair services for a comprehensive product range encompassing offshore drilling rigs, platforms, service vessels and commercial vessels. It is too preliminary to judge the impact of this development as it is still at exploration stage and feasibility study will take 15 months to conclude based on Bahri's announcement to Saudi stock exchange. Nonetheless, it is a good sign that SMM is exploring expansion into new market that has plenty of opportunities. Maintain HOLD call and TP of S$4.70. We are wary of near term headwinds from execution of Brazilian projects and yard construction progress.
