Daily Morning Note – 21 Aug 2020

PHILLIP SUMMARY

Asian stocks looked set for gains Friday after a rise in U.S. technology shares drove the Nasdaq 100 to a record, tempering concern over a bumpy economic recovery. Treasuries climbed. Futures pointed higher in Japan, Hong Kong and Australia. The S&P 500 saw modest gains as a rally in technology heavyweights offset a slide for energy producers and banks amid light trading volume. The benchmark shrugged off earlier weakness from disappointing jobs data. Money managers are bracing for upheaval, with stocks at an all-time high. The 10-year Treasury yield fell to 0.65% and the dollar weakened. Crude oil retreated, while gold rose.

RESEARCH REPORTS

Yoma Strategic Holdings – Topline positive amidst COVID-19

Recommendation: BUY (Maintained), Last Done: S$0.29

Target Price: S$0.46, Analyst: Tan Jie Hui

– Overall revenue saw 3.2% growth YoY underpinned by 21.4% and 33.3% growth in Yoma Land and Yoma Motors respectively, offset by -30.9% YoY performance by Yoma F&B.

– Yoma Land’s revenue is well supported by a backlog of unrecognized revenue, while Yoma Motors’ growth is attributable to pent up demand in the Heavy Equipment segment.

– Maintain BUY with an unchanged target price of $0.46.

JEP Holdings Ltd – Aviation to hibernate

Recommendation: REDUCE (Downgraded), Last Done: S$0.19

Target Price: S$0.158, Analyst: Paul Chew

– 1H20 results were below expectations, excluding the government grant, PATMI would have declined 22% YoY to an estimated S$2.6mn.

– The collapse in international air travel has reversed from the previous insufficiency in aircraft production capacity to the current overcapacity. Orders have been mothballed.

– We are downgrading to REDUCE. Aerospace was around 60% of JEP revenues. We are not expecting any recovery in aerospace orders until end 2022. Semiconductor project and cost restructuring will be the company focus in the medium term, in our opinion. Our target price is now cut to S$0.158 and benchmarked to the book value of the company.

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”).

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.
