IHH Healthcare - 3Q results impacted By translation losses. Maintain HOLD recommendation with revised TP of RM6.19/ S$2.04
We maintain our view for the STI to range from 2825 (11.46x FY16F PE, -1.5SD) to 3030 (c.12.22x FY16F PE, - 1SD) over the next 1 month. Attention this week is drawn to the release of November job numbers. Consensus expects non-farm payrolls of 200k with the unemployment rate staying at 5%. A positive interpretation of the payrolls figure could well seal the deal for a FED hike rate in December. If so, December's rate hike will be the first since 2004. Our economist expects a payrolls figure of 160k (below consensus) and thinks that although the figure won't be high, it will be high enough to keep the Fed on track for lift-off on 17Dec.
While 3Q15 headline for IHH Healthcare showed a drop of 19% y-o-y to RM118.5m, this was due to FX translation loss of RM217m arising from non-Turkish Lira borrowings by its Turkey operations. Excluding this, core profits would have been RM222.7m, registering a growth of 26% which will be within our expectations. Revenue grew by 16% to RM2.064bn. While inpatient admissions numbers were fairly lackluster (partly due to seasonality and economy), revenue growth was helped by higher revenue intensities and more complex cases being handled. We trim our earnings forecasts by 11% to factor in the FX translation, but retain our operating forecasts for FY15F and FY16F. We maintain our HOLD recommendation for IHH with a revised TP of RM6.19/ S$2.04. While we like its geographical diversification and premium healthcare services provider status, we believe current valuation at c.48x FY16F PE reflects this.

Alliance Mineral Assets has signed its first individual contract to supply Tantalite concentrate under the terms of the distribution agreement signed with Mitsubishi Corporation RtM Japan Ltd.

ISOTeam has secured 14 new private and public sector contracts in Singapore totalling an aggregate of $20.5m.

Fitch Ratings said in its latest Asia-Pacific Structured Finance Chart that Singapore's private residential property prices have fallen 8.2% from their peak in September 2013. The fall has been driven mainly by tighter policy controls aimed at cooling the housing market. Fitch believes that if immigration rates remain low while vacancy rates and property supply remain elevated, property prices will continue to soften.
