TP raised to SGD2.16, reiterate Buy. Sarin’s stock price has appreciated by 17% since 2Q13 results despite weaker guidance for 3Q13.
We still see a strong long-term investment case for Sarin. We see potential earnings kicker from its new product launches, implying room for positive earnings surprises.
We raise our TP to SGD2.16, based on 15x FY14 PER (previously 13x).
We believe that our valuation is fair considering its 31% EPS CAGR and high ROEs of 40-50% over FY13-15. In comparison, diamond miners and retailers trade at average PERs of 14x and 26x respectively. Reiterate Buy.
