Singapore Post: To execute goals of strategic review
2017 has been a mixed bag for Singapore Post (SingPost). At the start of last year, the group completed the issuance of 107.6m shares to Alibaba, who now holds about a 14.5% stake in SingPost. During its 3QFY17 results in Feb, it was disclosed that TradeGlobal, which was acquired earlier, had not achieved the underlying profit assumptions of the business plan which supported the investment. In Oct, SingPost officially launched the redeveloped SingPost Centre, which will support rental income. Looking ahead, we expect a gradual ramp-up in utilization rates of the log hub, but the environment for logistics as a whole is likely to remain challenging. We look forward to positive results from the execution of the group’s targets from its recent strategic review, which should drive earnings and ultimately the stock price. Meanwhile, we maintain our HOLD rating and S$1.26 fair value estimate on the stock.

Venture (VMS SP) Many Faces of Growth
FY17E not a blip; breadth of new growth We initiate coverage of VMS with a BUY and TP of SGD27.50. We believe VMS’ estimated 39% revenue surge in FY17E is no fluke and the Street may be underestimating forward revenue and margins. Our analysis suggests further increases for both, sustained by multiple sources of growth: 1) we believe VMS benefitted from outsized orders from certain customers’ bigger COGS wallets. As VMS’ allocations are still a tiny part of their COGS, we believe they may not have peaked; 2) VMS’ ramp-up of new products with high R&D content is still in the early stages and should get stronger; and 3) new customers and projects provide a medium-term pipeline. Our FY18-19E EPS is 17/20% higher than consensus. We value VMS at 18.8x FY18E P/E, a 10% premium over its global high-mix, lowvolume peers, given our estimated 21% EPS CAGR for FY17-19E vs 12%.
