Stock Name: SIA Engg
Company Name: SIA ENGINEERING CO LTD
Research House: Phillip SecuritiesPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 5.01



Phillip Securities Research in a July 27 research report says: "SIAEC reported a marginal decline in revenue and profits of $277.6 million and $68.1 million respectively. 1QFY12 forms 24% of our full year estimates. SIAEC has a strong cash balance of $645 million as of end June 11.

"If we adjust this cash balance by the recent dividend payment of c.$265 million, the company still has strong cash holdings of $380 million. If our free cash flow estimates for the year is met, SIAEC's cash account would build up to beyond $500 million once again, thus offering substantial room for further capital distributions.

"We value the stock of SIAEC using the DCF model to derive our target price of $5.01. Incorporating forecasted dividends of 34 cents, we expect total returns of 28.7% from the current market price. MAINTAIN BUY."
