I just participated in a discussion about this counter in ValueBuddies. Looking at the last two quarters, I am not yet convinced that the business is going downhill yet due to a secular change in business environment, so I am holding on (I may be wrong, but have to stick to my own assessments and grit my teeth). CIMB just did a report on Centurion and gave it a fair value of 49 cents, if you believe in their analysis.

If you go by DCF method used by UOB, the share price target is 90.5 cents.

If you go by Price/Book, as used by CIMB, then Centurion could be worth S$0.49 (based on 1x CY15 P/BV) .

Investors like me would be ....PUZZLED!

I got about the same figure as UOB using my own DCF; I think the CIMB method is too blunt an instrument to value a business.

I also went in @ 63c. But even the price has still dropped since, I will still hold for long term for the reasons below. It still has a very positive growth outlook ahead.

- 2Q 2014 profit increased 62% excluding fair value gains and one-off impairment charge. Starting this year, the Group intends to conduct a valuation exercise for its investment
properties annually at the year end. Thus, fair value gains should not be included in comparing y-o-y profit for 2Q.
- UK Student Accommodation acquisition is expected to be completed in September 2014, thereby immediately
contributing to the Group’s revenue and profitability in 2014.

The last transacted price was 57.5 cents; the drop is a bit unnerving! Plus quite a few forumers are negative about the future of this company's business. I have gone back a few times to recheck my calculations and assessments, and if I ignore the price movements, I really have no strong reasons to dump this counter, so I am holding and going long - this is the occupation hazard for value investors - often we are not lucky enough to always buy something of great value and with the price going up after the investment.

55.5 - 56 now. Very big drop from 70+ and tempting me....At the same time, I am wondering why the heavy selling. Sigh
