RESEARCH REPORTS

Venture Corporation Ltd– Near-term volatility, long-term intact

Recommendation: ACCUMULATE (Downgraded), Last Done: S$16.60

Target Price: S$17.18, Analyst: Alvin Chia

– Revenue met expectations while NPAT disappointed by 6.5%.

– VMS is gaining more customers and projects, partially due to the shift in supply chain to SEA

– Net margin declined to 9.8% from 10.5% a year ago from pricing pressure we expect it to continue in the near-term.

– Downgrade to ACCUMULATE with a lower TP of S$17.18 (prev. S$17.68). We revised our FY19e revenue upwards by 2.5% and lowered NPAT by 2.8%. We are still positive on VMS for the attractive yield and rising profit share amongst its U.S. peers.

Penguin International Ltd – Another bumper quarter with record net cash

Recommendation: BUY (Maintained), Last Done: S$0.66

Target Price: S$0.93, Analyst: Paul Chew

– Earnings and revenue was a beat. We raise our FY19e/20e earnings by ~10%.

– The YoY comparables will look exaggerated due to seasonally weak quarter last year. The rolling 4-quarter (or annual) earnings run-rate is a healthy S$21mn.

– Record net cash position of S$53.1mn and other balance sheet metrics suggest another healthy quarter ahead.

– We are raising our target price to S$0.93 (5x PE excluding net cash) as we roll over our target price to FY20e net earnings. Our BUY recommendation is maintained.

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. There can be no assurance that investment objectives will be achieved.  

Where applicable, fund(s) may invest in financial derivatives and/or participate in securities lending and repurchase transactions for the purpose of hedging and/or efficient portfolio management, subject to the relevant regulatory requirements.

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. Please refer to <www.phillipfunds.com> for more information in relation to the dividend distributions.
