ST Engineering

Looking at their financial numbers for the past 5 years, we can notice that the Total revenue has generally rising marginally from $6.5b to $6.7b.

Net Income is almost flat from $531m to about $540m.

Diluted EPS is withing the range of 11 cents to 12.7 cents.

But dividend paying out has been increased from 8 cents to 15 cents .

Yield is about 4.5% which is quite nice..

From TA point of view, it seems like it is trying to do a Reversal from the current position.
We can notice a Bullish Engulfing candlestick appeared yesterday covering the previous day candlestick.
Looks rather bullish! Stochastic is also showing sign of a positive divergence.

I think it may likely head higher to retest $3.35 then $3.41 level.

Not a call to buy or sell.

StarHill Reit

4th quarter dpu of 1.09 cents is more or less the same as per 3rd quarter dpu.
A flat quarter result.

It seems that the price has hit the bottom and yield is looking attractive + a great discount against it NAV of 91 cents.

Estimated DPU of 4.5 cents.
Yield is about 6.5% base on the closing price today at 69 cents.

For this retail and office Reit, noting that its committed Singapore office occupancy has moved from a low of 83.5 per cent in its fiscal first quarter ended Sept 30, 2017, to 95 per cent as at June 30, 2018.

Occupancy was buoyed after The Great Room, a co-working operator, commenced its operations in June at Ngee Ann City by taking up 15,000 square feet of space.


Buying interest has been rising for the past 3 days as can be seen from the chart the slightly increased in volume + price gained 2 cents from 67 to 69 cents.

Looks like it may move up to retest 70.5 cents .
Crossing over with ease + good volume that may drive the price higher towards 72.5 cents.

Not a call to buy or sell.

Please do you own due diligence.

EPS is about 10 cents.
PE is about 26x.
The price Doesn't look cheap to me.

Recently added Reits counter

Added CRCT -$1.44.

Added StarHill - $0.67

Added First Reit - $1.30 (before XD)


CapitaLand Retail China Trust (CRCT) is focused in rental retail mall properties in China while Starhill Global REIT (SGR) is diversified across different countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, China and Japan and into not just retail but also office rental properties. 


It depends on what an investor wants. If an investor prefers a more focused China retail mall play, then CRCT is suitable. 


However, if an investor prefers a more diversified approach into both retail and office property play from different geographical regions, then the investment mandate of SGR will be suitable. 

Both CRCT and SGR have strong sponsors and are prudent in their gearing so far.



I compare here the CAGRs of the standard metrics I have been using before in my earlier sharings for these two REIT/Trust over a period of 10 years from 2007 to 2017. 

Please take this comparison only as a reference for your information and not as an absolute conclusion of their individual investment worthiness. 


There are certainly more things that can be looked into for each of them to form a stronger opinion on their individual investment worthiness. Nevertheless, this comparison is a good starting point.

CAGRs (10 years period)
Gross revenue = SGR (8.13) CRCT (12.29)
Net property income = SGR (8.52) CRCT (12.36)
Distributable income = SGR (6.82) CRCT (11.03)
Value of investment properties = SGR (3.76) CRCT (12.94)


From the comparison above, we can see that CRCT has been growing the key metrics at a higher double digit CAGR than SGR which is a lower single digit CAGR. I checked on the unit price performance of SGR versus CRCT over the past 10 years period and found out that the latter also performed significantly better than the former.

It seems that CapitaLand Retail China Trust is a better investment candidate than Starhill Global Reit. However, we certainly can continue to investigate more to form an even better informed comparison between the two. 


CRCT -. NAV $1.71, DPU of 10.1 cents. Yield is 7%.$1.44

Starhill - NAV 91 cents , DPU 4.38 cents, yield is 6.44% , 68 cents.

First REIT’s 2Q DPU edges up to 2.15 cents

Yield is about 6.5% base on closing price of $1.33.

Looks pretty stable and decent DPU that may likely provide another form of fixed income portfolio.
I think yield is much better than PW Life reit which is about 4.8%.

I think still has room for it to rise further towards a yield of 5.5% for a Target price of $1.56.



SINGAPORE – 17 July 2018 – Bowsprit Capital Corporation Limited (“Bowsprit”), the Manager of First Real Estate Investment Trust (“First REIT” or the “Trust”), today reported a 0.5% year-on-year (“y-o-y”) rise in distribution per unit (“DPU”) to 2.15 Singapore cents for the second quarter ended 30 June 2018 (“2Q 2018”), on the back of distributable income increasing 1.6% y-o-y to S$16.9 million.

 For the quarter under review, gross revenue rose 5.3% y-o-y to S$28.9 million, while net property income (“NPI”) increased 5.0% to S$28.5 million. For the six-month period, gross revenue and NPI grew 5.5% and 5.4% to S$57.6 million and S$56.9 million respectively, while distributable income edged up 1.7% to S$33.8 million. As at 30 June 2018, First REIT’s gearing stood at 34.2% with interest cover at 4.9 times.


 The Trust remained prudent with its capital structure and is exploring various financing options for its refinancing needs.


  Key highlights in 2Q 2018

• DPU up 0.5% to 2.15 Singapore cents compared to 2.14 Singapore cents in 2Q 2017

• On an annualised basis and based on closing price of S$1.33 as at 29 June 2018, the latest distribution translated to a yield of 6.5%

• Secured a S$100 million term loan facility from CIMB Bank Berhad, Labuan Offshore Branch, with a tenure of six months and an option to extend for another six months. The loan was fully drawn down to refinance First REIT’s S$100 million Fixed Rate Notes due on 22 May 2018



Outlook

 Indonesia’s gross domestic product grew 5.06%1 year-on-year in the first quarter of 2018, at a slower pace compared to the previous quarter, due mainly to sluggish consumption. To reduce reliance on domestic consumption, the Indonesian government has implemented several deregulation measures to attract more investment. Last year, Indonesia recorded 8.5% more foreign direct investment in Rupiah terms than in 2016.2 Meanwhile, rising interest rates in the US have weakened the Rupiah in recent weeks, causing Bank Indonesia to raise interest rates to support the Rupiah. However, this has no impact on the Trust’s borrowings as its loans are originated in Singapore and denominated in Singapore dollars.


BMI Research reported that healthcare spending in Indonesia amounted to Rp403.9 trillion in 2017 and projects it to rise to Rp1,224 trillion by 2027, and that healthcare spending per capita will more than double between 2017 and 20273 . Against this trend, together with the growing nationwide adoption of the national health insurance scheme, private healthcare demand will continue to rise. As such, First REIT remains well-positioned for further growth, with a strong acquisition pipeline of around 40 hospitals in Indonesia from its Sponsor, PT Lippo Karawaci Tbk

Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRP") The DRP will not be applicable for this quarter.

 All Unitholders will be receiving 2Q 2018 DPU of Singapore 2.15 cents in cash, payable on 24 August 2018. The Manager may consider applying the DRP at a later date and Unitholders will be notified accordingly.


TA wise, MACDd & Stoch is showing sign of a positive divergence and it may likely continue to rise higher.

Looks like the same chart patterns may likely repeat itself and rises higher towards $1.40 .

Uptrend stock counters

I think below are the few Uptrend stock counters that I have noticed based on the charts presented.

 Looking at CityNeon chart patterns, looks like it may likely move up to re-challenge $1.25 level.

Both the SMA lines & MACD is rising nicely in a orderly manner.

 YZJ

After hitting the high of $1.70, it has since gone through a major correction mode and went down to touch the low of 85 cents.

The company has been busy buying back share in millions of quantity price ranging from 85 to $1+.

 Sunningdale Tech 

After touching the low of $1.25, it has since stage a nice recovery and head higher to hit the high of $1.45 yesterday. Looks bullish and it may likely re-attempt to breakout $1.43 level smoothly and rises higher towards $1.50 then $1.60 level.

Yearly dividend is about 7-7.5 cents . Yield is quite attactive.
