RESEARCH REPORTS
Penguin International Ltd – Cash to ride this cycle
Recommendation: ACCUMULATE (Downgraded), Last Done: S$0.525
Target Price: S$0.55, Analyst: Paul Chew
– Penguin provided some business updates in their recent AGM. The outlook is challenging due to Covid-19 and collapse in oil prices.
– Charter rate for crew boats will be under pressure, demand for new vessels is down and ferry customers will suffer from the pandemic.
– We downgrade to ACCUMULATE from BUY. Our FY20e earnings is cut by 52%. The target price is dropped to S$0.55 (prev. S$0.88). We change our methodology from 5x PE (excluding cash) to a P/BV of 0.7x FY20e (historical 10-year average). The net cash of S$60mn (end-Dec19) will allow the company to ride through this turbulence. Net cash is now 52% of market capitalisation.
