Sembcorp Marine: FPSO conversion work from repeat customer

Summary: Sembcorp Marine (SMM) announced recently that its wholly owned subsidiary, Jurong Shipyard, has secured an FPSO conversion project worth about S$130m from MODEC. Delivery to MODEC is scheduled to be in 2Q13 in Brazilian waters, which still remains a major source of work where oil related companies are hopeful of securing more orders. SMM has secured S$2.8b worth of new orders YTD, accounting for 62% of our full year estimate. The group has eight outstanding rig options worth about S$2b which we estimate should expire by 1H12. Meanwhile, it is also in the running for additional projects. As the contract value of individual projects can be substantial (recall PTTEP's S$600m integrated platform order), the securing of two such projects would increase SMM's order book considerably. However, should we fail to hear of more new orders in the near term, the group would be exposed to higher earnings risk. Meanwhile, we keep our earnings estimates intact for now and maintain our BUY rating with S$5.70 fair value estimate. (Low Pei Han)

Wilmar: Lower S$4.78 fair value on weaker China outlook

Summary: Wilmar International Limited's (WIL) shares saw a massive sell-down over the past two days, likely spooked by the looming specter of a hard landing for China's massive economy. As WIL derives 60% of its earnings from China in 1H11, any significant economic contraction would have an impact on its performance. We believe that its crushing business may be the most affected; but we are less concerned with WIL's cooking oil business. In line with the weaker overall market, as well as the more muted outlook for China, we are reducing our valuation peg from 16x to 12x (-1 standard deviation from its 4-year mean) and when applied against its FY12F EPS, we derive a new fair value of S$4.78. Given the limited upside, we maintain our HOLD rating. (Carey Wong)
