RESEARCH REPORTS

China Aviation Oil – Increasing trading volume

Recommendation: ACCUMULATE; TP S$0.90; Last close: S$0.8300; Analyst Liu Miaomiao

  • International air traffic surged 32% YTD in Apr25, and we expect profit from associates (SPIA) to rise at least 12% YoY in FY25e, supported by the continued recovery of inbound leisure and business travel.
  • We expect a pickup in trading volume in 1H at the low teens, driven by rising jet fuel and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) demand. The EU mandates a 2% SAF blend in 2025, increasing to 70% by 2050. As SAF volumes grow, this should support margin improvement for the oil trading business.
  • We upgrade CAO from NEUTRAL to ACCUMULATE with a higher DCF-TP of S$0.90 (prev: S$0.85), reflecting recent share price performance and improving financial metrics. While we maintain our FY26e/27e PATMI forecast at US$82mn/83mn, we expect at least high single-digit YoY PATMI growth in 1H25. CAO currently holds US$500mn in cash, representing over 90% of its market cap. Re-rating catalysts include a better-than-expected dividend payout ratio and increasing contribution from SPIA.

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. It does not have any regard to your specific investment objectives, financial situation and any of your particular needs. You should read the Prospectus and the accompanying Product Highlights Sheet (“PHS”) for key features, key risks and other important information of the Products and obtain advice from a financial adviser (“FA“) pursuant to a separate engagement before making a commitment to invest in the Products.

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. 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. PCM reserves the discretion to determine if currency exposure should be hedged actively, passively or not at all, in the best interest 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. Please refer to <www.phillipfunds.com> for more information in relation to the dividend distributions.
