Raffles Education Corp rated 'buy' by Kim Eng

Stock Name: Raffles Edu
Company Name: RAFFLES EDUCATION CORP LTD
Research House: Kim EngPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 0.80



Kim Eng Research in an Aug 25 research report says: "Excluding exceptional items such as forex loss, fair value gain and tax on revaluation, Raffles Education's 4QFY Jun11 results were largely in line with our expectation.

"On a full-year basis, we estimate its core profit from the education business to be about $21.8 million (-40.4% y-o-y). In any case, we believe the market has already discounted the uninspiring FY Jun11 results. The group has proposed a final dividend of 0.45 cents (total payout of 0.90 cents per share for the whole year), which translates to an annualised yield of 2.1%.

"Sum-of-the-part-based target price of 80 cents. Near-term re-rating catalysts include successful monetisation of OUC and faster-than-expected recovery in student numbers. MAINTAIN BUY."
