KEY IDEA Olam International: SELL now that Temasek offer has expired The S$2.23/share cash offer for Olam International by a consortium led by Breedens Investment – a Temasek-owned unit – has closed on 23 May, with the group collectively owning 80.4% of all issued shares (71.9% of fully diluted share capital). As the free-float of the company remains well above the 10% threshold, Olam will continue to be listed on SGX. We had previously advised shareholders to accept the offer of S$2.23. And with the expiry of the offer, we do not expect the current share price to be supported around current levels. Hence, we recommend a SELLon Olam with a new fair value of S$1.87 (10x FY15F EPS). (Carey Wong) MORE REPORTS KSH Holdings: Proposes final dividend of 1.75 S-cents KSH Holdings reported 4QFY14 PATMI of S$11.0m, down 28% YoY mostly due to weaker contributions from the property development segment. Full year FY14 PATMI cumulates to S$44.5m, which increased 18% and makes up 92% of our full year forecast. While this is a healthy set of numbers, we judge this to be slightly below our expectations due to slower-than-anticipated progressive recognition at development projects over the fourth quarter. In terms of the topline, FY14 revenue increased 40.1% to S$324.5m as we saw stronger contributions from the construction segment (up 38.6%), the development segment (up 62.9%) and rental income from investment properties (up 13.5%) as well. The group has proposed a final dividend of 1.75 S-cents. We will speak with management later today regarding its 4Q results and, in the meantime, maintain BUY while our fair value estimate of S$0.73 is under review. (Eli Lee) |
