China Merchant Holdings (Pacific) rated 'buy' by DBS

Stock Name: CMPacific
Company Name: CHINA MERCHANTS HLDGS(PACIFIC)
Research House: CIMBPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 1.12



DBS Vickers Securities in an Apr 30 research report says: "While losses from its property business widened to HK$11.5 million from HK$2.4 million a year ago, net profit contribution from the company’s toll road business jumped from HK$47 million in 1Q11 to HK$124 million (+161% y-o-y).

"This was due to new contribution from Yongtaiwen Expressway (acquired in July 2011) and firm organic growth from its jointly controlled roads (+12% to HK$55 million). The company has finally turned more positive on its New Zealand property business, which could provide upside to our forecasts if it can make a positive contribution or perhaps could finally be disposed off at a decent price.

"Target price of $1.12. Stock is trading cum dividend of 3 cents and offers a further 7.7% yield. MAINTAIN BUY."
