Want Want China Better margin expansion
■ Want Want will report its FY3/24 results on 25 Jun. We expect it to deliver topline growth of 4.2% and net profit growth of 15.3% in FY3/24F. ■ The stronger net profit growth in 2HFY24F (+21.4% yoy vs. 8.5% yoy in 1H) would be mainly due to lower raw material prices, especially for milk powder. ■ We expect the lower raw material price trend to continue in FY3/25F, further driving Want Want’s GPM expansion. ■ Reiterate Add with a higher DCF-based TP of HK$6.3, as we expect entering new retail channels and GPM expansion to drive growth in FY3/25F.

Singapore Airlines ($6.80, up 3 cents) has inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a new partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Air, a new airline due to be commercially operational in 2025. Under the MOU, both carriers will explore opportunities for interline connectivity on each other’s services while also working on potential areas of commercial cooperation, such as codeshare arrangements. SIA’s market cap is $20.2bln, and it currently trades at 10.1x forward PE and 1.4x PB, with a dividend yield is 7.0%. The consensus target price is S$6.88, representing 1.2% upside from the the current share price. We maintain our “Accumulate” rating on SIA given its continued strong near term outlook due to strong North Asian demand and Cargo demand recovery. Valuations are not demanding and the balance sheet is very robust. The above partnership will also allow SIA deeper penetration into the Middle East market. |
