UMS Holdings rated 'increase exposure' by SIAS

Stock Name: UMS
Company Name: UMS HOLDINGS LIMITED
Research House: SIASPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 0.79



SIAS Research in a Nov 24 research report says: "UMS ended the quarter with cash, net of leases, of S$32.4m, which is equivalent to 9.43 cents per share. Net cash now accounts for 24.8% of UMS's market value.

"As UMS has no bank borrowings except for $3.56 million of finance leases, the company can lever its balance sheet to make acquisitions of decent size. While UMS may be setting aside cash for potential M&As, we expect the company to maintain its quarterly dividends as its cash conversion ratio remained high at 94% in 3Q 2011. In a nutshell, the company is paying dividends out of its cash flow, which is a sustainable policy.

"We have reduced our earnings forecast for FY2011 and revised our valuation downwards to 79 cents in view of the last two quarters' results. MAINTAIN INCREASE EXPOSURE."
