| KEY IDEA Singapore Airlines: Not taking off yet Summary: We believe optimism over Singapore Airlines's (SIA) Aug 2013 operating statistics is premature as the slight improvements are likely to be temporary in nature. Passenger demand growth should remain tepid in the coming quarters and the persistence of promotional activities will depress passenger yields. In addition, capacity additions from new routes have continued to outpace passenger growth and jet fuel price increases show little signs of abating, which will put further pressure on the carrier. As for its recent Indian JV announcement, we envision execution difficulties and the lack of adequate airport infrastructure. Maintain our SELL rating in SIA with an unchanged fair value estimate of S$9.50. Investors should take advantage of gains by the stock off recent lows and look to re-enter at price points nearer our valuation. (Lim Siyi) MORE REPORTS Hyflux: Time to look for other projects Summary: Hyflux Ltd has officially launched Singapore's second and largest reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant on 18 Sep. According to management, the desalination plant is not only a showcase of its membrane technology but also strengthens Hyflux's international track record in large-scale desalination plants, putting the company in a strong position to provide clean, affordable and sustainable water solutions to meet worldwide demand. During the Tuaspring launch, we also had a short chat with management and it appears that Hyflux is slowing but surely turning its focus back to the MENA region. But until we see the award of a sizable contract from any of the above mentioned markets to replenish its order book, we opt to maintain our HOLD rating and S$1.215 fair value (still based on 20x blended FY13/FY14F EPS).
