Mapletree Commercial Trust rated ' buy' by DBS

Stock Name: MapletreeCom
Company Name: MAPLETREE COMMERCIAL TRUST
Research House: DBS VickersPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 1.11



DBS Vickers Securities in an Apr 27 research report says: "4Q12 gross revenues and NPI was c.10.9% and 16.1% y-o-y higher respectively, largely due to Vivocity's strong positive rental reversions, as well as the progressive opening of Alexandra Retail Centre (ARC).

"On a q-o-q basis, NPI also rose by a healthy 6% despite a seasonally-weak quarter on the back of lower property and maintenance expenses. Consequently, 4Q DPU came in at 1.554 cents. Full year DPU beat our forecast by c.5%. Gearing dipped marginally to 37.6% with no major refinancing in FY2012. Average cost of borrowings remains low at 1.96%.

"We have nudged target price up by 1.8% to $1.11 to account for its better-than-expected performance at VivoCity. FY2013/2014 yields are at 6.8/7.2 % and our revised target price of S$1.11 offers a total upside of close to 30%. MAINTAIN BUY."
