OCBC: SG: MARKET PULSE: United Envirotech, Valuetronics, CityDev (6 Aug 2013) | | | | MARKET PULSE: United Envirotech, Valuetronics, CityDev 6 Aug 2013 KEY IDEA United Envirotech: Decent 1QFY14 start Summary: United Envirotech Ltd (UEL) reported 1QFY14 revenue of S$44.1m, +37.5% YoY (but -5.9% QoQ), meeting 14.2% of our FY14 forecast, while net profit slipped 2.6% YoY and 18.9% QoQ to S$5.7m, or about 12.5% of our full-year forecast. We deemed it to be a decent start as its fiscal first quarter tends to be seasonally softer. Going forward, management remains upbeat about its prospects in China, where the Chinese government has a planned investment on CNY4t in water resources by 2020; it adds that China is consistently tightening the effluent discharge standards. But we are tweaking our FY14 estimates slightly lower (revenue by 7.4%, earnings by 5.1%) to account for a likely smaller EPC pipeline. Our fair value also eases slightly from S$1.03 to S$0.975, still based on 13x FY14F EPS. Given the limited upside after the recent outperformance, we downgrade it to HOLD. (Carey Wong) MORE REPORTS Valuetronics Holdings: Discontinuing coverage Summary: Valuetronics Holdings Limited (VHL) will begin FY14 on a fresh page, as it will no longer incur losses on its Licensing business following its decision to terminate operations in 2QFY13. Any recovery in VHL’s earnings will likely translate into higher dividends for its shareholders, in our view, as VHL had a relatively stable dividend payout ratio of 37-42% from FY10-13. This is also supported by VHL’s strong net cash position. Looking ahead, we believe that VHL will focus its attention largely on its LED lighting OEM business, given the robust industry growth prospects and its largest customer’s market leadership position in this field. However, given the continued lack of trading liquidity in VHL’s stock and a reallocation of resources, we are CEASING COVERAGEon the stock. Our last rating was a ‘Hold’ with a fair value estimate of S$0.195. (Wong Teck Ching Andy) City Developments Limited: 2Q13 PATMI up 48% YoY Summary: CDL’s 2Q13 PATMI increased 48% YoY to S$203.8m, mostly due to disposal gains from several industrial property assets. 1H13 PATMI now cumulates to S$341.5m which makes up 49% of our full year forecast. We judge this to be mostly in line with our expectations. Residential sales performances remain firm, with 2013 launches D’Nest, Bartley Ridge and Jewel@Buangkok showing healthy sell-through rates to date. In 2H13, the group expects to launch a mixed use JV project at the junction of Upper Serangoon Rd and MacPherson Rd near Potong Pasir MRT. Hotel subsidiary Millennium and Copthorne Hotels’ (M&C) 2Q13 PATMI decreased 17.7% YoY as 181k net rooms were taken out of the supply due to enhancement works. 1H13 global REVPAR, however, was up 4.1% to GBP71.27; AOR and ARR increased by 0.7 ppt and 3.1%, respectively. The group also announced a special interim dividend of 8 S-cents per share. Maintain HOLDon CDL with our fair value estimate of S$12.04 (15% RNAV disc.) under review.
