Hutchison Port Holdings Trust - Expect lower DPU payouts in FY15/16. Downgrade to HOLD, TP cut to US$0.65
Singapore Airlines - Operating earnings in 3Q15 weaker than expected but expect fuel savings to boost earnings in future quarters. Maintain BUY and S$12.90 TP
We maintain our near-term range of 3380 to 3450 for the STI, capped at the 13.8x (ave) 12-mth forward PE level. Whether the STI is able to clear the 3450 level soon will depend on earnings revisions when the index heavyweight's banks and SingTel release their results this week. Otherwise, it could be closer to the end of 1Q before the STI ascends above 3450.
Bond yields have stayed suppressed, as low inflation helped by falling oil price and slow growth enabled central banks around the world to adopt easing policies. Low bond yields underpin yield stocks. Our yield picks are China Merchants Holdings, Venture Corp, M1, Yangzijiang and Sheng Siong. Among these, China Merchants offer the higest yield at 7.5% and the best upside to fundamental TP.
Hutchison Port Holdings Trust's full year DPU of 41HKcts for FY14 in line, but large goodwill impairment related to HK operations reveals negative outlook for HK port business. Going forward, the Trust is unlikely to continue to defer capex in order to boost DPUs. We expect lower DPU payouts of 34- 35HKcts in FY15/16 and are also cutting FY15/16F earnings by 5-9% to reflect poorer earnings from HK operations. Downgrade to HOLD, TP cut to US$0.65 (Prev US$ 0.78).
Operating earnings for Singapore Airlines in 3Q15 weaker than expected, but offset by exceptional gains.9M15 earnings of S$328m was flattish y-o-y, on track to meet our FY forecast of S$494m. We expect fuel savings to kick in and boost SIA's earnings performance in future quarters. The Group's balance sheet remains strong with over S$3.5bn net cash after consolidating Tigerair's numbers. We project SIA to pay out DPU of 50Scts for FYE Mar 16, given the improved profit outlook and its strong balance sheet position. This equates to c.60% payout and translates to a decent dividend yield of 4.1%. Maintain BUY and S$12.90 TP.
3Q15 DPU of 1.30 Scts for Ascendas Hospitality Trust in line. Results were underpinned by improved performance from Australian and Japanese hotels. However, we expect headwinds from weakening AUD to temper DPU growth. Maintain HOLD, TP revised to S$0.70. A-HTRUST offers a yield of 7.8-8.6%.
