CIMB starts Parkson Retail with outperform

Stock Name: Parkson
Company Name: PARKSON RETAIL ASIA LIMITED
Research House: CIMBPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 1.50



CIMB Research has initiated coverage of Singapore-listed department store operator Parkson Retail Asia (PRAL.SI) with an outperform rating and a target price of $1.50.

Parkson Retail’s valuations are low given it is a well-known retailer, has exposure to different countries and has a proven track record, CIMB said.

The brokerage said it expects Parkson Retail to deliver around 20% annual earnings growth over the next several years as it steps up store openings to about 7-8 a year and sees steady same-store sales growth.
The Vietnam and Indonesia markets will also provide the firm with higher growth opportunities from rising income and domestic consumption.
At 9:34 a.m., shares of Parkson Retail were untraded. It last closed at $1.19 on Tuesday, and have gained about 5.3% since it listed on Nov 3.
