KEY IDEA
CapitaCommercial Trust: Looks fairly valued here
1Q14 distributable income increased 7.6% to S$59.9m mostly due to
stronger contributions from portfolio assets and lower interest
expenses. 1Q figures were mostly within expectations and YTD
distributable income now constitutes 25.6% of our full year forecast. We
note that the Trust enjoyed higher revenues from all properties due to a
mix of stronger occupancies and positive rental reversions, except for
One George St which was impacted by the cessation of yield protection
income. 1Q14 DPU of 1.94 S-cents translates to a 5.2% yield as at the
last closing price of S$1.635. As our top pick in the REITs sector, CCT
has outperformed significantly YTD, appreciating 12.8% versus the STI’s
2.7% movement over this period. We update our model for latest rental
assumptions, and our fair value increases marginally to S$1.67 from
S$1.61 previously. At this juncture, however, we believe CCT is almost
fully valued; downgrade to HOLD on valuation grounds. (Eli Lee)
