Singapore Post acquisition of CP Holding seem positive -TP raised to $2.18

Singapore Postwill acquire CP Holdings, a leading metropolitan small parcel delivery player with extensive national coverage in Australia, for A$95m (~S$105m) on a cash-free, debt-free basis from New Zealand Post on "willing buyer-willing seller" basis. The acquisition will allow SPOST to roll out end-to-end solutions across e-commerce, forwarding, warehousing and delivery in Australia. We raise our FY16F/17F EPS by 4%/5% with potential upside from SPOST switching to its own network for last mile delivery. Maintain Buy, TP: $2.18 (prev. $2.12)

Parkway Life REIThas one of the longest WALE at 10 years, offering strong earnings visibility of which 94% of income has downside earnings protection. Distributions will not be impacted by forex volatility in the medium term as the manager has prudently hedged 100% of its SGD-JPY exposures till 2017. The manager might look to capitalize on the robust investor interest to re-cycle capital and extract value, a strategy that we remain excited about. We continue to like P-Life REIT for its strong earnings visibility and see re-rating catalysts from further acquisitions, asset re-cycling activities in the medium term. Maintain BUY, TP S$2.66.
