Transportation sector: Hindered movement in 2014
Despite general economic improvements, the counters within the
transportation sector failed to perform well in 2013 due to
industry-specific challenges and issues (e.g. sustained competitive
pressures in the aviation sector, demand-supply imbalance for the
shipping sector, lack of fare increases for the land transportation
sector). With some of these issues unlikely to be resolved in 2014, we
are downgrading the overall sector to UNDERWEIGHT and expect investor
interest to remain tepid. Out of the counters in our coverage, our top
pick is ComfortDelgro, rated BUY with a fair values estimate of S$2.20,
as we favour its diversified and stable earnings stream, attractive
overseas operations, and strong domestic leadership in the taxi and bus
segments.
