Singapore Post upgraded to 'buy' by Kim Eng

Stock Name: SingPost
Company Name: SINGAPORE POST LIMITED
Research House: Kim EngPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 1.18



Kim Eng Research in a Sept 20 research report says: "SingPost has demonstrated earnings resilience in the face of structural changes in the global mail industry. Its efforts to diversify into the non-mail business since its listing in 2003 have paid off with the segment contributing 31% to operating profit in FY Mar11 from 15% in FY Mar05.

"Year to date, SingPost's share price has retreated by 11% versus the Straits Times Index's decline of 13%. At 12x FY Mar12F PER, the stock is trading at one standard deviation below its PER mean, which we think represents a good entry level.

"Target price of $1.18, based on 14x FY Mar12F earnings. Including dividends, this gives an expected total return of 19%. UPGRADE TO BUY."
