Wilmar International (WIL SP) Earnings Volatility Due To Timing Issues
We remain positive on Wilmar despite it missing our 1Q18 earnings expectation. We expect the shortfall in 1Q18 to be made up for over the next two quarters. The delay in profit recognition was due to: a) timing of deliveries in the sugar division, and b) the lag impact from prices committed to earlier under soybean meal contracts, thus expansion in crushing margins has yet to be reflected. We trim our 2018 earnings forecast on a lower sugar PBT margin estimate as sugar prices remain under pressure. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$3.90.

City Developments Limited: Bonanza of launches to come
City Developments Limited: Bonanza of launches to comeCity Developments Limited (CDL) reported its 1Q18 results which missed ours and the street’s expectations. Despite the 35.0% YoY jump in revenue to S$1,057.8m, PATMI fell 16.3% YoY to S$80.0m due to lower gross profit and higher finance costs, effective tax rate and minority interests. During the quarter, CDL together with its JV associates sold 459 units in Singapore with an aggregate sales value of S$792.6m, representing sturdy growth of 57% and 66% YoY, respectively. Looking ahead, CDL has a robust pipeline of launches amounting to ~3.1k units, based on our estimates. After adjustments, our RNAV-derived fair value estimate declines marginally from S$15.91 to S$15.78. Maintain BUY. CDL continues to be one of our top picks within the property sector, as the group looks poised to benefit from the firm uplift in the Singapore residential market with the largest land bank in Singapore catering to all segments such as EC, mass, mid and high-end.

Food Empire A Strong Caffeine Rush
Reiterate BUY with an unchanged TP of SGD1.07, offering a 59% upside. Food Empire delivered a spectacular set of 1Q18 results. PATMI grew 14% YoY to USD7.2m, on the back of strong revenue growth and the absence of a loss from its Korean associate. Excluding forex gains, core PATMI jumped 42% YoY to USD6.8m, meeting 30% of our full-year estimate. We think the stock’s valuation, at 11.5x FY18F P/E, is very compelling at this moment, given the company’s strong organic growth. Its new instant coffee plant in India – set to commence operations in 2020 – could lead to the next leg of growth.
