STARBURST IS A SINGAPORE-BASE ISO9001; 2008 CERTIFIED ENGINEERING GROUP SPECIALISING IN THE DESIGN OF ENGINEERING:

Starburst is one of the few firms in South-east Asia that designs and install systems for firing ranges. Starburst listed in SGX's Catalist board at 31 cts. Below are the data from the IPO figure.

IPO on 10/7/14 @ 31 cts. Total shares =250m

FY 2013 - December Result
Rev = 21m, increased by 21%
Prof = 8.7m, increase by 34%
EPS = 4.36 cts. EPS after IPO = 3.49 cts
Prof margin = 45%
Net profit margin = 41%
Contract secured as @ 9/6/14 = $45.8m
Dividend policy - at least 20% of net profit

Starburst installs anti-ricochet ballistic protection systems on wall of firing ranges to ensure that bullets do not bounce back and hits anyone. Being in defence industries is probably recession-proof. Starburst has good potential to growth it's business in the Middle East market. In the words of MD Jonathan Yap "You need many years of experience and a safety track record to prove that your products work, so the barriers to entry are high." Starburst is proxy to bigger defence budgets regionally and fastest growing markets in the Middle East.

I believe Starbust is a "Potential Gem". According to DBS Vickers Analyst report, EPS for FY2014 = 6.3 cents. At 60 cents it is trading below 10x PE. Starbust dividend policy of at least 20%, that is 1.5 cent, yield = 2.5%. I'm wait for a good entry level to buy, below 50 cts but the share price had increase to its high at 76 cents. Starburst has build strong support at 59 cents. I have bought few days ago at 59.5 cents on price weakness. I'm waiting for more buying opportunity.

I think it's one contract win in middle east away from unlocking its value.

Vested and looking to accumulate more.

Re:

Seems like very fair valuation at this level, if not a tad too rich for value investors.

Why not take China Sunsine, at 4X PE 2014FY?

Hi Rich,
I have check throught China Sunshine, listed since 2007 the performance don't look promising. FY 2010 profit was RMB115m and FY2012 profit was RMB 32m and FY2013 profit more than double to RMB 76m. FY2013 no dividend payment as compared to FY2012.
China Sunshine at 4x PE 2014 it don't mean much because of the company poor profit performance over the years. In fact @ 41 cents it's already trading @ 10x PE. China Sunshine profit margin of just above 5% can easily eat away by currency lost.

As for Starburst bussiness the barriers to entry are high, high profit margin, proxy to bigger defence budgets regionally and fastest growing markets in the Middle East.

Starburst has good potential to growth it's business as defence spending in many countries are increasing. If Starburst able to growth its top and bottom lines, share price at 10x PE is consider cheap. Starburst has clear dividend policy - at least 20% of net profit.

Report on Mindef to outsource more tasks to boost NS effeciency will be a big boost to Starburst business. Other than the firing-range operation Starburst can explore other areas of defence expertise which will ensure a steady recurring top and bottom lines.

Starburst already have years of experience and a safety track record to prove that its products work. High barriers to entry means Starburst will have much to gain from Mindef outsourceing more task.

I already had a bridge-start on Starburst recently buying up below 60 cents.
