Sheng Siong Group rated 'neutral' by DMG

Stock Name: Sheng Siong
Company Name: SHENG SIONG GROUP LTD
Research House: DMGPrice Call: HOLDTarget Price: 0.46



DMG & Partners Research in an Apr 27 research report says: "Sheng Siong reported a 74% growth in net earnings to $16.8 million, backed by revenue growth of 4% to $159.8 million. Earnings were boosted by a $10.5 million gain from the sale of its old warehouse at Marsiling Road.

"Stripping off the one-off gains, core net earnings declined by 35% to $6.3 million, accounting for 20% of our FY2012F and below our expectations.

"As we expect current competitive pressures to remain, we cut our gross profit margin assumptions from 22.3%/22.5% to 22% in FY2012/2013F respectively which lowers our core earnings by 4-8% for FY2012/2013F and in turn lowers our target price from 46 cents to 45 cents. At current price, the stock still offers a decent 5.5% yield based on a 90% committed payout. MAINTAIN NEUTRAL.
