Singapore Airlines rated 'buy' by DMG

Stock Name: SIA
Company Name: SINGAPORE AIRLINES LTD
Research House: DMGPrice Call: BUYTarget Price: 12.13



DMG & Partners Research in a May 17 research report says: "SIA released its operating stats for the first month of FY13. Revenue passenger km (RPK) grew +9.8% y-o-y (m-o-m: -1.4%).

"SilkAir aggressively expanded its RPK at 26.2% y-o-y although demand in the freighter segment remained weak, with a recovery anticipated only by the 2H. We feel that the worst may just be over for SIA. Given its high net cash pile of $3.9 billion, the airline would be able to weather the headwinds moving forward.

"Upside potential of 18% and dividend yield of 3.8% (based on a 70% payout). Fair value of $12.13, premised on 1x PB. We remain positive on SIA’s outlook on expectations that demand will rebound on an uptick in passenger yields, although the upside would be marginal. MAINTAIN BUY."
