Maybank KE 30 Sep 13

Courts Asia: NDR Feedback; Maintain BUY, $0.755 - TP $1.06
COURTS SP | Mkt Cap USD336.6m | ADTV USD0.6m

Ø Maintain BUY at SGD1.06 TP (reduced from SGD1.15 on the lower FY14F forecast) pegged to 14x earnings.
Ø We hosted a NDR with Courts to confirm our views on the retail scene in Singapore and Malaysia. We believe the share price has already priced in overall weakness in demand. Barring a longer-than-expected closing of the JEM store, the trough should be seen in 2QFY14 (3QCY13).
Ø Going forward, things should improve on (1) a loosening in credit policy to improve sales, particularly in Malaysia, (2) a short-term boost in sales from iPhone 5S and (3) the maiden store opening by FY3/15 in Bekasi, Indonesia, to boost sales.

Rickmers Maritime: NDR Feedback; Not Rated
RMT SP | Mkt Cap USD192.2m | ADTV USD0.1m

Ø We hosted Mr. Thomas Preben Hansen and Mr. Gerard Low from Rickmers Trust Management, Trustee-Manager of Rickmers Maritime (RMT) on a one day road show, where they introduced their Trust and shared valuable insights on latest industry trends.
Ø While RMT’s gearing ratio had improved significantly following a recently completed Rights Issue, a recovery in charter rates over 2014/5 remains critical as a significant number of vessel charters will expire over that period of time. If forecasts by Maersk Broker for a significant recovery in charter rates materialize, we expect RMT to be a beneficiary.
Ø RMT is a leveraged play to a cyclical recovery in the container shipping sector, in our view. The stock offers an attractive yield of c.10%, assuming its DPU of USD0.024 a year is maintained. We do not have a rating on RMT.
