(NAV 84 cents ^^)
Sing Holdings reported record net profit of S$41m for FY12,
representing a 87% increase from FY11 (S$22m). The key driver came from the
progressive recognition of its Cairnhill project The Laurels, which is currently 96%
sold by units, with contracted sales value of S$682m. As of end 2012, Sing
Holding has recognised 70% of the sales from Laurels, with the balance $205m to
be recognised in 2013 and T.O.P. expected in 3Q2013. In line with its higher
earnings, Sing Holdings raised its dividend by 60% to 1.6cts/share, comprising of
a regular 1ct and a special 0.6ct. This translates to a yield of 3.7% based on the
last traded price. Looking ahead, Sing Holdings continues to have a good pipeline
and visibility, underpinned by the launch of its Punggol Field Walk EC site in mid-
2013 and its high-end project at Robin Road in 2014. Notwithstanding the recent
round of cooling measures, demand for EC units is expected to remain firm on
upgradersā demand, while the Robin Road site enjoys the proximity to the
upcoming Stevens MRT station and good schools in the vicinity. We expect
healthy take-up for these 2 projects, driving NAV/share growth. NAV/share rose
22% to 50.7cts/share during the year. At current levels, the stock trades at a deep
discount of 49% to our RNAV of 84cts/share. (Goh Han Peng)
