SING HOLDINGS: STARS ALIGN FOR UPCOMING EC LAUNCH
Sing Holdings is slated to launch Waterwoods EC (Punggol) in Sep
2013. We have strong reasons to believe that it will be successful.
Buoyant EC market con..nues to enjoy strong supply]demand
dynamics. The EC market has con..nued to be a buoyant one, with
two new recent EC launches registering strong interest from
applicants. According to news reports, Ecopolitan, a 512]unit EC
development located at Punggol Way/Punggol Walk, was 2 ..mes
oversubscribed at the close of applica..on date 7 July 2013. On the
other hand, Lush Acres, a 380]unit EC project located at Sengkang
West Way/Fernvale Link, was 1.6 ..mes oversubscribed since its
launch on 13 July 2013. The indica..ve price ranges for both projects
are S$750 to S$800psf.
Poten..al shortage in launches in the near]term, due to the new 15]
month rule. In Round 7 of the cooling measures, MAS mandated that
EC sites can only be launched for sale 15 months from the date of
award or a..er comple..on of founda..on works, whichever is earlier.
Based on feedback from developers, founda..on works typically take
9 months to complete. This means that there could poten..ally be a
short period of vacuum of EC launches, depending on the ..ming of
launches of the remaining EC sites that have been tendered out. At
the moment, there are 5 sites have yet to be launched for sales, of
which Sing Holdingsf Waterwoods site is the only one situated at
Punggol.
Buy ahead of the successful launch.fair value of S$0.56. Our
current RNAV es..mates stand at S$0.93, and we value Sing Holdings
at 40% discount to RNAV, deriving a fair value of S$0.56. Sing
Holdingsf current share price of S$0.47 presents a 19% capital
apprecia..on poten..al. Reiterate BUY.
