Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (YZJSGD SP): Grows YTD order wins to US$990m

• BUY Entry 0.915 – Target – 1.03 Stop Loss – 0.845
• Yangzijiang (YZJ) produces a range of commercial vessels, including mini bulk carriers, bulk carriers, multi-purpose cargo vessels, containerships, chemical tankers, offshore supply vessels, rescue and salvage vessels and lifting vessels. It operates two shipyards, with the older yard located in Jiangyin city. The yard spans about 800 m of deep-water coastline and covers an area of about 200,000 sqm (excluding the coastal area). YZJ’s newer yard is located in Jingjiang city. The yard has 1,940 m of deep-water coastline, production area of 1,508,857 sqm, a drydock that can accommodate two 100,000 dwt vessels and two half 100,000 dwt vessels at one time.
• Chinese yards working round the clock to meet rising global orders. Chinese state media reported that industry analysts are expecting the Chinese shipbuilding sector to reclaim its top position in 2H22 as shipbuilders there ramp up to meet demand. According to Clarksons Research, 5M22 global new ship orders stood at 16.25m compensated gross tons, with China attaining a global market share of 44.1%. As port congestion in the US and Europe persists, as well as the geopolitical situation in Europe, global demand for new ships will grow, offering a large market for both China and South Korea.
• Secures additional orders for green vessels. YZJ announced that it clinched orders for four 8,000 TEU LNG dual-fuel containerships by repeat customer PIL and will be progressively delivered in 2025. The vessels will be equipped with a membrane containment tank system that was co-developed in-house, and demonstrates its focus on moving up the value chain to more complex LNG vessels. The orders bring total new orders secured YTD to USD990m for 16 vessels. As at writing, YZJ has a total order book value of US$8.15bn for 137 vessels, which is expected to keep its yard facilities at a healthy utilisation rate till mid-2025.
• Undemanding valuations with an expected surge in DPS. The Street is fairly bullish on YZJ’s prospects with 7 BUY, and only 1 HOLD ratings, and an average 12M TP of S$1.41. The street expects FY22F EPS to decline 27.5% YoY after a strong FY21. Thereafter, YZJ is expected to grow its FY23F EPS by 17.9% YoY. Notwithstanding, the street is expecting FY22F DPS to surge 5.9x to S$0.053/share and FY23F DPS to grow at a more steady 11.3% YoY to S$0.059/share. YZJ is currently trading at an undemanding 6.3x and 5.4x FY22F/23F P/E and 5.8%/6.4% FY22F/23F dividend yield respectively.

Sheng Siong Group (SSG SP): High inflation expectations to provide second tailwind

• RE-ITERATE BUY Entry 1.55 – Target – 1.65 Stop Loss – 1.50
• SSG operates the Sheng Siong groceries chain. Its stores are primarily located in retail locations in the heartlands of Singapore, and designed to provide customers with both “wet and dry” shopping options, including a wide assortment of live, fresh and chilled produce, such as seafood, meat and vegetables, in addition to processed, packaged and/or preserved food products as well as general merchandise such as toiletries and essential household products. The Group has also developed a selection of house brands to offer customers quality alternatives to national brands at substantial savings. To support its retail operations, the Group also has an extensive distribution network, food-processing facilities, and warehousing facilities.
• Retail sales show turnaround for supermarkets. May 2022 retail sales for supermarkets & hypermarkets marked a turnaround with 0.6% MoM (April: -6.3%) growth. On YoY basis however, retail sales for the industry fell 10.3% (May 2021: +5.1%) mainly due to higher demand for groceries in the prior period as more people stayed home during the Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) period.
• Inflation expectations to channel demand to house brands. SSG recently added more than 800 house brand items to price comparison app, Price Kaki. SSG has 23 house brand labels including Tasty Bites, Heritage Farm and Happy Family, spanning across seven product categories – groceries, frozen, dried food, seafood, meat, fruits and vegetables. It was also shared that its house brands are affordably priced at savings of approximately 5%-20% compared to other products. Given rising inflation expectations, we reckon that Singapore’s large middle class will more likely than not shift their grocery spending towards cheaper alternatives. This is mainly so as other sources of inflation such as petrol prices, mortgage servicing are difficult to mitigate.
• FY22F results to taper off after record FY21. The Street is fairly mixed on SSG’s prospects with 3 BUY, 3 HOLD, and 2 SELL ratings, and an average 12M TP of S$1.65. The street is expecting FY22F EPS to decline 10.2% YoY after a record FY21. Thereafter, SSG is expected to grow its FY23F EPS by 5.1% YoY. While FY22F DPS is expected to fall to S$0.057/share from FY21’s S$0.062/share, FY23F DPS should resume growth to S$0.058/share (+1.8% YoY). SSG is currently trading at 19.8x and 18.8x FY22F/23F P/E and 3.7%/3.7% FY22F/23F dividend yield respectively.

Singapore

• Rex International Holding Ltd (REXI SP) and RH Petrogas Ltd (RHP SP) shares fell 5.9% and 2.2% respectively yesterday. Oil prices regained some footing on Thursday after steep losses in the previous two sessions, as investors returned their focus to tight supplies even as fears of a global recession persisted. Traders are watching for possible oil supply disruptions at the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, which has been told by a Russian court to suspend activity for 30 days. Exports at CPC, which handles about 1 percent of global oil supplies, were still flowing as of Wednesday morning. In addition, investors are awaiting U.S. government data due on Thursday that will shed light on the state of domestic oil and fuel inventories.
• NIO Inc (NIO SP) shares fell 1.9% yesterday. NIO stock price failed to benefit from the recent recovery seen in the broader Wall Street indices, as investors assess the latest positions churning by several institutional investors, which have recently bought and sold shares of NIO. Besides, the FOMC June meeting’s minutes came in hawkish, as it revealed central bankers’ growing anxiety over inflation and plans to adopt a restrictive policy stance in order to control inflation.
• Top Glove Corp Bhd (TOPG SP) shares rose 5.0% yesterday. Natural rubber futures consolidated around the JPY 260-per-kilogram mark, moving away from an over two-month peak of JPY 270 amid lingering concerns of a global recession after the US and several European countries hiked interest rates to rein in sky-high inflation. On top of that, recovering rubber supply from major producing countries like Thailand and Vietnam has kept a lid on prices.
• Wilmar International Ltd (WIL SP) shares rose 3.2% yesterday. India’s palm oil imports in July are set to jump to the highest in 10 months because of a hefty correction in prices and as Indonesia allows more exports of the tropical oil, four dealers told Reuters. Higher purchases by India, the world’s biggest importer of vegetable oils, may add support for Malaysian palm oil prices, which are trading near a one-year low. “Palm oil imports even in August and September would remain robust if prices remain around the current level,” the New-Delhi based dealer said.

• Great Wall Motor Co Ltd (2333 HK) shares rose 6.4% yesterday. Morgan Stanley released a research report maintaining its “overweight” rating and expects 100,000 to 110,000 vehicles to be sold in June, compared to the earlier prediction of 120,000 vehicles. This drop in expectations is mainly due to inventory replenishment concerns. As supply improves, the company expects production volume to gradually increase and it has noticed a 20-30% increase in inflow of customers, with the overall number of orders remaining stable.
• China State Construction International Holdings Ltd (3311 HK) shares rose 6.0% yesterday. Citigroup released a research report saying that China State Construction International’s management maintained its 2022 estimates of 15% growth in orders, double-digit earnings growth and a 30% dividend payout ratio.

Additionally, the company’s backlog of orders ensured earnings, and with its closed-loop management, the epidemic did not have a material impact on the performance of the first half of the year.
