Parkson Listing PRA

Parkson BUY RM5.55 KLCI : 1,470.93 Price Target : 12-Month RM 6.55 (Prev RM 7.45)
Reason for Report : Listing of PRA
DBSV vs Consensus: Our estimates are below consensus as we believe consensus has not factored in 32.4% MI arising from PRA listing 


PRA’s new pricing benchmark 
•  PRA listing at FY12F PE of 13x
•  5% earnings dilution to PHB
•  Twin exposure to rising consumption growth story; maintain Buy with new TP of RM6.55

PRA’s IPO price set at S$0.94. Parkson Retail Asia Limited (PRA) is slated for listing on the Main Board of Singapore Exchange (SGX) on 3 Nov 2011. The IPO exercise will involve a total offering of 147m PRA shares comprising 80m new shares and 67m vendor shares (with an option to add 22m vendor shares for over-allotment purpose) from Parkson Holdings (PHB) and PT Mitra Samaya (MS) at S$0.94 per share. This will raise S$138m, which is lower than the initially speculated S$300m-500m possibly due to the prevailing market uncertainties. The IPO price values PRA at S$636m (or RM1.6b) based on an enlarged share base of 677m, implying 13x of S$48m earnings in FY12F.

5% earnings dilution to PHB. Post-listing of PRA, PHB’s stake will be diluted to 67.6% (from 90.1%) assuming the over-allotment option is exercised, prompting us to trim our FY12F-13F earnings by 4.9% and 5.3% respectively to account for the earnings leakage to minority interest (MI) and incremental interest income from the IPO proceeds of RM185m. We are maintaining our FY12F-13F net profit for PRA at S$48m (or RM117m) and S$61m (or RM150m) respectively. This translates to a 2-year CAGR of 28%, backed by healthy same store sales growth of 5-20% and 6 new stores addition p.a over the next 1-2 years. 

 

PHB offers best of both worlds; Maintain Buy.  We cut our PHB’s TP to RM6.55 (from RM7.45) after imputing: (i) PHB’s 51.5%-owned HK listed subsidiary Parkson Retail Group Ltd (PRG: 3368 HK)’s new TP of HK$11.46 (from HK$13.15); and (ii) reduced stake of 67.6% (from 90.1%) in PRA. We have also assumed a 15% holding company discount for both the listed subsidiaries, which is narrower than the 20% discount previously attached to PRG given PHB’s new corporate structure of having double exposures to two listed subsidiaries now. We keep our sum-of-part valuation of RM2.2b (RM3.25/share or S$1.33/share) for PRA, valuing it at 16.5x CY12F earnings. Our valuation implies a 41% upside potential to PRA’s IPO price of S$0.94.  Based on current market capitalization of PHB and its share of PRG market capitalisation, PRA is currently valued at only RM0.37/share.

Malaysia Inflation to start easing end-3Q or early 4Q2011

Malaysia Inflation Rose To The Fastest Pace.
Inflation is still a major concern and we expect the upward pressure to stay in 3Q2011 coming from food & non-alcoholic and clothing/footwear in  view of the festive seasons. Impact from June’s electricity tariff hike is expected to continue. But the  upward inflation pressure can be contained from stronger RM/USD and high base comparison. Nonetheless, we expect inflation to start easing by end 3Q2011 or early 4Q2011. Meanwhile, with global uncertainties flared by euro debt crisis and slower US economic recovery lingering, it has forced AxJ policymakers to focus on growth as opposed to inflation. Rates hikes could be reaching its tail end. We expect BNM to accommodate further erosion in real returns by holding OPR at 3.00% to focus on growth. But possibilities for another 25bps hike in OPR remains, as it depends on inflation outlook. Likewise SRR hike will depend on liquidity inflow. If that happen, we expect another 50bps to 100bp…

Trump’s Win – Bark Worse Than Bite?

Image
While Asian equity markets may remain soft after the surprise of Donald Trump’s win in the US presidential election, we look forward to buying opportunities. Essentially, we do not expect significant economic repercussions on Malaysia’s economy or corporate earnings, save for the indirect impact on downward biases for the ringgit vs the US dollar and on interest rates. We highlight the trough prices of our conviction picks, as well as some buying opportunities.

WHAT’S NEW
• Near-term confidence pricked. Asian equity markets have swooned on knee-jerk reactions to Trump’s surprise win; the FBMKLCI eased 1%. Despite the major turnaround in US equities after Trump’s acceptance speech which promoted national unity and stressed on fiscal stimulus (the DJI futures initially fell by as much as 800 pts before the cash DJI remarkably recovered to positive territory), investment sentiment in Asia may remain damp and to be swayed by Trump’s anti-globalisation rhetoric. Nevertheless, we do not …

FBM KLCI Technical Outlook

Image
Stocks on Bursa Malaysia snapped a three-day losing streak to end higher last Friday on bargain hunting in selected heavyweights, which saw late fund buying of Tanaga Nasional and Malayan Banking. Bargain hunting by institutional funds supported the local market but further gains were limited by fears of a better-than-expected US third-quarter gross domestic product data which will be out later of the day. Asian stock markets were mixed as they were still affected by a flurry of major corporate earnings reports across the region and the declining oil prices. The ringgit weakened further against the US dollar at 4.1970/1020 from the 4.1810/1900 recorded on Thursday, tracking the performance of emerging Asian currencies. At close, the FBM KLCI settled at 1,670.27, up 1.24 points or 0.07%, from Thursday’s close of 1,669.03, after opening 0.58 of a point higher at 1,669.61 and moved between 1,666.97 and 1,671.72 throughout the day. On a weekly basis, the benchmark index gained 0.29 of a p…
