Far East Hospitality Trust - Co-invests with sponsor in new Sentosa hotel development. Maintain HOLD, TP S$0.88.

Far East Hospitality Trust (FEHT) has entered into a joint venture with Far East Organization Centre (FEOC), a member of its sponsor Far East Organization, to participate in the development of a new S$443.8m hotel project located on Sentosa. FEHT will hold a 30% stake in the 850-room project with its c.S$133.1m equity contribution to be fully funded with debt. Upon completion of the project in 2018, FEHT will increase its exposure to 3,311 rooms (+34.5%). It will also have rights to acquire the remaining 70% in the project. Upon completion of the project, we project 3%/8% uplifts to our FY18/19F DPU. However, maintain our DCF based target price at S$0.88 as we impute higher long term capex assumptions. While we are positive on this development, its impact is likely to be felt only in the medium term. We see re-rating opportunities capped by expected soft operating performance in 3Q/4Q14. As such, we maintain HOLD on FEHT.
