Daily Morning Note – 10 Febraury 2021

The Nasdaq 100 Index eked out a gain, while small caps notched the longest rally since December 2019. Treasuries advanced and the dollar fell for a third straight session. Elsewhere, oil fluctuated after seven sessions of gains on signs the global market is tightening and demand is improving.

BREAKING NEWS

SG

Transport operator SBS Transit on Tuesday posted a full-year net profit of S$78.96 million, down 2.9 per cent from the previous year. Its revenue for the full year ended Dec 31, 2020, also fell – by 14.8 per cent to S$1.23 billion. Revenue from public-transport services in 2020 stood at S$1.20 billion, a 13.6 per cent decrease from 2019. This was mainly due to lower service fees from lower fuel indexation and operated mileage, coupled with lower rail ridership due to the pandemic.

Genting Singapore on Tuesday posted a 90 per cent plunge in full-year net profit to S$69.2 million, which the integrated resort operator called the “worst financial performance since the opening of (its) Singapore Integrated Resort in 2010”. This was despite the group’s implementation of cost-containment measures and aid from the Singapore government amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Genting Singapore said.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) on Tuesday said it has reached agreements with Airbus and Boeing to revise its aircraft-delivery schedule. This will result in some of the aircraft in the group’s order book being delivered over a longer period than originally contracted, with the delivery stream spread out beyond the immediate five years. SIA will thus defer more than S$4 billion in capital expenditure (capex) between FY20/21 and FY22/23 to later years. It would also “recalibrate the rate of introduction of capacity, following the disruption to the demand for air travel as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic”, said the group in Tuesday’s statement.

Sunvic Chemical Holdings will be delisted from the mainboard of the Singapore Exchange, following Harrier Group’s intention to exercise its right to compulsorily acquire all the shares of the shareholders who have not accepted its voluntary general offer.

US

Boeing delivered 26 aircraft in January, boosted by the clearing of the 737 MAX jet to fly again after a 20-month ban as it also won four new orders for its 747-8 freighters. MAX deliveries are seen as central to Boeing’s financial recovery in 2021 after a sharp slump in demand for its bigger, more profitable wide-body jets due to the coronavirus crisis added to the company’s woes last year.

RESEARCH REPORTS

Manulife US REIT – Outperforming market occupancy & sub-leasing

Recommendation: BUY (Maintained), Last Done: US$0.715

Target Price: US$0.84, Analyst: Natalie Ong

– FY20 DPU of 5.64 US cents (-5.4% YoY) missed, at 88% of our estimate, mainly due to a lower-than forecasted NPI and NPI margins.

– Rental collection was 99%, after US$1.8m writeback in credit losses. Portfolio reversions were +4.7%, stripping out a marked-to-market lease.

– Gearing rose from 37.7% to 40.1%% YoY following a 4.9% YoY decline in valuation.

– DDM TP (COE 9.1%) cut from US$0.92 to US$0.84 as we lower FY21-24e DPUs by 10.2-11.7% to reflect leasing weakness. Still, maintain BUY as we are forecasting FY21e DPU yield of 8.3%.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This material is provided by Phillip Capital Management (S) Ltd (“PCM”) for general information only and does not constitute a recommendation, an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to invest in any of the exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) or the unit trust (“Products”) mentioned herein.

A copy of the Prospectus and PHS are available from PCM, any of its Participating Dealers (“PDs“) for the ETF, or any of its authorised distributors for the unit trust managed by PCM.  

An ETF is not like a typical unit trust as the units of the ETF (the “Units“) are to be listed and traded like any share on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”). Listing on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units which may be traded at prices above or below its NAV or may be suspended or delisted. Investors may buy or sell the Units on SGX-ST when it is listed. Investors cannot create or redeem Units directly with PCM and have no rights to request PCM to redeem or purchase their Units. Creation and redemption of Units are through PDs if investors are clients of the PDs, who have no obligation to agree to create or redeem Units on behalf of any investor and may impose terms and conditions in connection with such creation or redemption orders. Please refer to the Prospectus of the ETF for more details.  

Investments are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The purchase of a unit in a fund is not the same as placing your money on deposit with a bank or deposit-taking company. There is no guarantee as to the amount of capital invested or return received. The value of the units and the income accruing to the units may fall or rise. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of the Products.

The regular dividend distributions, out of either income and/or capital, are not guaranteed and subject to PCM’s discretion. Past payout yields and payments do not represent future payout yields and payments. Such dividend distributions will reduce the available capital for reinvestment and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Products.
