| MARKET PULSE: Residential Property, First REIT, STX OSV | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | 3 Oct 2012| |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | KEY IDEA | | | | SG Residential Property: Prices still creeping up | | 3Q12 flash estimates for the URA Residential Price Index showed a sustained increase of 0.5% QoQ (versus 0.4% in 2Q12), cumulating to a total rise | | of 0.9% year to date. Again, the most bullish action was in the mass-market segment (Outside Central Region) where prices increased 1.0% in 3Q12 | | (versus 0.5% in 2Q12). In addition, we also saw a 0.2% and 0.7% price increase in the high-end (Core Central Region) and mid-tier (Rest of Central | | Region) segments, respectively. We believe an environment of ample liquidity would continue to drive residential demand and prices, particularly | | after QE3 and consequently increased visibility of low interest rates further out to 2015. Maintain OVERWEIGHT on residential developers. Our top | | pick is City Developments [FV: S$13.18, BUY]. (Eli Lee) | | | | MORE REPORTS | | | | First REIT: Entrenching its Indonesian footprint | | First REIT (FREIT) recently announced its proposal to acquire two Indonesian properties (one integrated hospital and hotel and the other a | | hospital) from its sponsor Lippo Karawaci for a total purchase consideration of S$142.9m. This would be funded largely by debt and partly by a | | private placement exercise. While the lease structure was largely similar to its existing Indonesian asset portfolio and would continue to provide | | unitholders with stability and income visibility, there were some lease terms which we were disappointed with. We had previously assumed new | | acquisitions in our model and hence finetune our assumptions in accordance to the updated details. We also roll forward our valuations to FY13, | | although this is partially mitigated by an enlarged unit base from its impending private placement exercise. Our RNAV-derived fair value estimate | | increases from S$0.96 to S$0.98. Maintain HOLD given FREIT’s rich valuations. (Wong Teck Ching Andy) | | | | STX OSV: Secures contract for cable laying vessel | | STX OSV has secured a contract for the design and construction of one Cable Laying Vessel worth about NOK 450m (approx USD 80m). The vessel will be| | of STX OSV’s own CLV 01 design. Delivery is scheduled from Norway in 3Q14. As contract win already forms part of our forward assumption (estimated | | NOK12-14b new orders over the next 12 months), we will be keeping our projections unchanged. Maintain BUY with unchanged fair value estimate of S | | $2.00.
