Analysts: Jessalynn Chen & Kenneth Ng, CFA (left)1Q14 net profit of S$35.0m beat expectations, at 36% of our FY14 forecast and 31% of consensus.
The results were strong across the board, but the beat was mainly due to higher contributions from the commodity marketing segment.
We raise our FY14-16 EPS by 17-22% to reflect higher trading volumes, and our target price rises to S$1.92, still based on 9.1x CY15 P/E (its mean post-MRI acquisition).
Our Add rating is premised on the growth potential of the core logistics segment given the new warehouses coming on stream in FY14-15, as well as strong momentum in the commodity marketing segment.
NRA Capital maintains 100% upside potential for China Yuanbang Property
Analyst: Jacky Lee
Earnings below expectations. China Yuanbang's 3Q14 net profit of Rmb9.1m (+441% yoy) came in 37% below our expectation due mainly to high-than-expected taxation, other variances included slightly lower-than-expected sales but offset by lower-than-expected operating expenses.
Cut earnings forecasts but maintain fair value. We have lowered our FY14 net profit forecasts by 9% to factor for higher taxation but kept FY15-16 numbers relatively unchanged.
Our fair value remains at S$0.36, still based on 30% discount to RNAV. Despite headwind ahead on China property sector. Maintain Overweight rating for deep discount to our fair value.
