Dasin Retail Trust More AEIs to rejuvenate mall offering
SINGAPORE | REAL ESTATE (REIT) | 3Q20 Recovery in consumer spending and revenue continued. 8.1% of FY20 lease expiries left for renewal. Termination of remaining 9-year 12,000sqm lease with department-store tenant reduces income visibility. But opportunity to recalibrate and enhance the mall’s offerings. Upgrade to BUY from Accumulate. Catalysts expected from the population growth in the Greater Bay Area, potential acquisitions, and rental uplift post-AEI. DDM TP (cost of equity 8.12%) dips from S$0.91 to S$0.90 due to enlarged share base following fundraising.

Singapore Banking Monthly Sentiment improved SINGAPORE | BANKING & FINANCE | UPDATE
November interest rates remained at their lowest since 2014. Loans shrank 2% YoY in October, reinforcing their weak outlook. Capital-market SDAV/DDAV grew 35%/11% YoY in November. Banks turned in soft 3Q20 results but reported greater asset-quality clarity. Improved credit outlook to pave the way for gradual earnings recovery. MAS announced four successful applicants for digital-banking licences. We do not expect any impact on banks’ earnings until FY22 when the digital banks start to operate. Maintain NEUTRAL. Downgrade OCBC and UOB to NEUTRAL from ACCUMULATE on the back of slow earnings recovery in a low-interest-rate environment while allowances normalise. Our pick for the sector is UOB (UOB SP, Neutral, TP: S$21.10), whose lower SPs and better credit outlook may provide a faster earnings recovery in FY21.
