- Pent-up demand. Singapore’s international visitor arrivals have been rising since the start of the pandemic, some of these tourists come to Singapore to receive treatment at Raffles Medical. The group will benefit from the recovery of elective procedures and the return of medical tourism, which will offset some tapering of Covid-19-related services. Furthermore, outpatient volumes at its general practitioner clinics have already surpassed pre-pandemic levels amid the ongoing wave of Covid-19 infections driven by the Omicron XBB sub-variant.

- Updated market consensus of the EPS growth in FY22/23 is 29.4%/-8.0% YoY respectively, which translates to 22.9x/25.1x forward PE. Current PER is 23.8x. Bloomberg consensus average 12-month target price is S$1.61.

Profit attributable to the equity shareholders arrived at US$58.2mn in 3Q22 compared to a loss of US$5.2mn in 3Q21. The turnaround of the business and financials was due mainly to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on demand for the Group’s products moderated in most countries due to the continued rollout and effectiveness of vaccines leading governments in many countries to further loosen socialdistancing, travel and other restrictions, which has led to the continuing recovery in travel. However, the Chinese government reinstated travel restrictions and social distancing measures in an effort to combat further outbreaks of COVID-19, which has slowed the Group’s net sales recovery in China.

- Resort to the most effective growth driver to restart China’s economic growth. China is suffering from another wave of Covid cases spike right now. Even though the central government relaxed some of the Zero Covid measures, the restrictive lockdowns are back in the high-risk regions. Accordingly, the slowdown in economic growth is expected to extend throughout 4Q22. The softness in domestic consumption, fixed asset investment, and exports will not turn in the near term, and the last resort is government spending. Previously, the authority had announced 16 measures to support the property market. Once the winter season is gone and the Covid outbreak tapers, construction projects will resume. In a nutshell, infrastructure is the main driver for China to revive economic growth.
- 3Q22 earnings review. 9M22 total operating revenue decreased by 13.1% YoY to RMB171.3bn. Net profit attributable to the owners of the company decreased by 48.5% YoY to RMB7.0bn. The fall of performance reflected the slowdown in infrastructure development due mainly to lock-down measures.
- The updated market consensus of the EPS growth in FY22/23 is -34.1%/22.9% YoY, respectively, translating to 4.4×/3.6x forward PE. FY22F/23F dividend yield is 7.4%/9.6% respectively. The current PER is 3.44x. Bloomberg consensus average 12-month target price is HK$9.18.
