MARKET PULSE: Ezion, Healthcare REITs
KEY IDEA
Ezion Holdings: Raising funds for the right reasons
Further to an earlier announcement that a subsidiary of Ezion had entered into a letter agreement for a proposed issue of redeemable exchangeable
preference shares, the subsidiary has now entered into a subscription agreement for the issue, raising net proceeds of about S$29.5m. Any dilutive
impact will only be from Jul/Aug 2014 onwards, and is also small at 1.43% of the existing share capital. YTD, the group has raised close to S$290m
of funds and most of the proceeds are for the acquisition of assets, due to the promising pipeline of opportunities that the group sees ahead.
Maintain BUY with S$2.90 fair value estimate, which would drop to S$2.42 after adjusting for a proposed bonus share issue (details in 7 Aug 2013
report). (Low Pei Han)
MORE REPORTS
Healthcare REITs: Expecting growth in 2H13
Within the healthcare REITs space, both First REIT (FREIT) and Parkway Life REIT (PLREIT) recently reported 2Q13 results which were in-line with
market expectations. Looking ahead, we expect their 2H13 DPU to be boosted by new properties acquired over the past 1-3 months. Despite the
volatility in the IDR and JPY vis-à-vis the SGD, there has been minimal impact on FREIT and PLREIT due to a favourable lease structure and hedging
strategies adopted, respectively. Both healthcare REITs are also seeking to mitigate their interest rate risks. But we maintain NEUTRAL on the
healthcare REITs sub-sector given its pricey valuations and negative sentiment surrounding interest rate sensitive instruments. (Wong Teck Ching
