Olam - Strategic expansion of cocoa platform. Maintain BUY, TP revised up to S$3.15
US markets returned back an early session rally to end lower with weakness in technology stocks offsetting gains in the energy sector. Sentiment was affected by the sell-off in emerging markets after the Russian ruble continued its plunge as investors shrugged off a surprise Bank of Russia decision to lift its key interest rate to 17% from 10.5%. Tonight is the outcome of the FOMC meeting. Investors will eye if the Fed looks past low inflation and drop a pledge to keep interest rates near zero for a "considerable time".
STI's 79pt tumble yesterday to 3215 sliced through our stated 3280 near-term support and pulled the market valuation down to 13.02x (-0.5SD) FY15F PE, the lowest in months. We see the next near-term support at a tat above 3200.
City Developments(CDL) together with Blackstone and CIMB will form a new investment platform which will acquire the cashflows and future distributions of Quayside Collection. This transaction will raise S$1.5bn through the creation of: (i) S$750m of profit participation securities (PPS) and (ii) S$750m in new debt facilities. PPS investors will be paid a coupon of 5% p.a. for a 5-year tenure. Through this transaction, CDL will have substantially passed on the risk/reward of future sales at Residences at W - Sentosa Cove, which the group has found it difficult to move volumes (only 4 out of 228 units sold since Apr'11) given government cooling measures. The transaction is net positive on CDL as it gives CDL opportunity to redeploy cash or a potential special dividend. Recent price decline places valuation at 1.08x P/Bk NAV, near to its historical - 1SD range of 0.95x P/Bk NAV, implying c.13% total returns to our target objective. Upgrade to BUY, TP S$10.71.
Olam acquires Archer Daniels Midland Company's global cocoa business for US$1.3bn (S$1.7bn). Olam is now the third largest cocoa processor with a 16% global market share, with exposure to growing US$16bn mid-stream market. This acquisition should translate to 10-14% accretion to FY16-18F core profits, with an uplift in medium term cashflows and ROEs, leading us to also revise our TP to S$3.15 from S$3.10. Maintain BUY. We believe Olam is undervalued based on its 30% 3-year earnings CAGR.
