Dear all

It has been a while since I last published a post on my blog. I have been extremely busy with clients, trades and appointments, especially with 1-1 meetings with C suite management of listed companies. Readers can refer to my Linkedin HERE to see my activities and which companies I have met on a 1-1 basis.

Based on Table 1 below, since 9 Apr, STI has fallen 71 points or 2.2% from an intraday high of 3,248 to close 3,177 on 19 Apr. S&P500 has fallen 258 points or 5.2% in seven out of eight days to close 4,967 on 19 Apr.

Concerns over escalating tensions over Iran / Israel; reduction in the number of interest rate cuts and pushing back of the timing of the first rate cut; rising U.S. 10y bond yields; weakening U.S. markets, strengthening of US$, mixed economic data in China are some of the usual factors cited in the weakness.

As the market is starting to look attractive with various SGX listed stocks presenting favourable risk reward set-ups with a medium term horizon, notwithstanding my hectic schedule, I have taken the time to manually compile a list of Singapore listed stocks sorted by total potential return, using the close of 15 Apr. Table 2 shows the top ten stocks listed by total potential return. As usual, readers and clients have to do their own due diligence. This is just a first level screen. The full list is available to my clients.

I have cited some companies to my clients which have garnered mostly buy calls from analysts and are trading at near multi year lows or near all-time lows. Below is an example of a company which I have highlighted to my clients last week.

 

Capitaland Investment

Capitaland Investment (CLI) closed at $2.46 on 19 Apr. This is an all-time low post its listing in 2021 following the restructuring of CapitaLand Limited.

 

Some noteworthy points are

a) Dividend $0.12 / share to be ex-div on 2 May. CLI’s AGM is on 25 Apr and will report 1QFY24F business update on 26 Apr before market.

b) At $2.46, its dividend yield is around 4.9%.

c) CLI has stopped its shares buyback since 26 Jan 24. CLI bought back shares worth $64m and $92m in 2023 and 1Q2024 respectively (See Table 3 below). The average prices paid in 2023 and 1Q2024 are $3.012 and $2.958 respectively. With the ex-dividend date on 2 May and with the dividend yield at 4.9%, coupled with current share price $2.46 which is significantly lower than their share buyback price $2.958 & $3.012, there is a good chance that CLI may resume share buybacks post its results on 26 Apr.

d) Although China’s property market is still trying to find a bottom, coupled with mixed China economic data (e.g. PMI manufacturing and non-manufacturing data are better than expected but retail sales and industrial production are below forecasts), based on some of the readings that I have done, suffice to say that China’s property market is likely to be nearer to a bottom (vs 1-2 years ago) and sentiment on this sector should gradually recover in 2HFY24 and 1HFY25, barring unforeseen circumstances.

e) Although CLI is not a property developer in China, 15.6% of FY23 revenue came from China. Thus, what happens to China is important to CLI from both business and sentiment aspects. CLI earns fee income from four sources, namely fees from fund management of its listed funds management; private funds management; lodging management and commercial management. Thus, China’s recovery plays an important role to CLI.

f) Based on Figure 1 below, average analyst target price and dividend yield are around $3.71 and 4.9% respectively. If the consensus is right, total potential return is around 56%! Readers can refer to the analyst report here https://sginvestors.io/sgx/stock/9ci-capitalandinvest/analyst-report

Below are examples of some risks which may affect CLI.

Some possible risks

a) Reduction of number of interest rate cuts and pushing back of the timing of the first rate cut. In other words, CLI has one less near positive share price catalyst to latch on.

b) Slower than expected scaling up of funds under management.

c) Slower than expected of capital recycling, particularly in markets such as China and the USA, where over half of CLI’s S$9b pipeline assets reside, may have an adverse impact on CLI.

d) Weaker than expected share price performance and business operations of its reits and private funds.

e) Bearish chart. Based on chart, the breakdown from $2.68 points to an eventual technical measured target of around $2.38. Given that CLI’s RSI has reached an oversold level of 27.2 and based on its historical RSI range, RSI typically finds a bottom around 23.5 – 26.0, I am not sure whether the eventual technical measured target price of $2.38 can be attained. Suffice to say that most indicators such as MFI, RSI and MACD are exhibiting bullish divergences but they by themselves are not a good market timing tool. However, I guess it may be fair to say that we are closer to a tradeable bottom.

f) CLI reports results on 26 Apr before market opens. As I have repeatedly mentioned before, buying before a company’s results is risky. Hence it depends on one’s own risk profile and whether you perceive that share price has largely reflected its headwinds and perhaps lacklustre business performance.

 

Conclusion

In summary, I personally believe that some SGX listed companies which have garnered mostly buy calls from analysts and are trading at near multi year lows or near all-time lows, may be worth a closer look.

An example may be CLI. I have highlighted some of the potential interesting points and some noteworthy risks in CLI. Readers, please do your own due diligence.

I have also reiterated Seatrium in my latest writeup to my clients and also informed them that Singtel has retreated back to interesting levels. However, due to time constraints, I will not be posting on my blog.

 

Readers who wish to be notified of my write-ups and / or informative emails, can consider signing up at http://ernest15percent.com. However, this reader’s mailing list has a one or two-day lag time as I will (naturally) send information (more information, more emails with more details) to my clients first.

P.S: Among the companies mentioned above, I am vested in CLI, its Long 5x DLC (DPNW) and Seatrium.

  13. Thanks for your useful post. In recent times, I have been able to understand that the actual symptoms of mesothelioma cancer are caused by your build up of fluid between the lining of the lung and the chest cavity. The disease may start from the chest spot and distribute to other limbs. Other symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include weight-loss, severe breathing trouble, a fever, difficulty ingesting, and inflammation of the face and neck areas. It needs to be noted that some people existing with the disease do not experience every serious signs or symptoms at all.

  34. Thanks for the strategies you have discussed here. Moreover, I believe usually there are some factors which keep your car insurance policy premium all the way down. One is, to take into account buying autos that are inside good listing of car insurance providers. Cars which are expensive are definitely more at risk of being lost. Aside from that insurance is also using the value of your automobile, so the more expensive it is, then the higher this premium you have to pay.

  48. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

  53. Thanks for your post. Another item is that being photographer involves not only difficulty in catching award-winning photographs and also hardships in establishing the best digicam suited to your requirements and most especially problems in maintaining the grade of your camera. This is very accurate and obvious for those professional photographers that are into capturing the particular nature’s fascinating scenes — the mountains, the particular forests, the wild or maybe the seas. Going to these amazing places absolutely requires a dslr camera that can surpass the wild’s unpleasant surroundings.

  54. Thanks for your write-up on this blog site. From my personal experience, there are occassions when softening way up a photograph may possibly provide the photographer with a little bit of an creative flare. Oftentimes however, that soft clouds isn’t precisely what you had planned and can quite often spoil an otherwise good image, especially if you intend on enlarging this.
