Ezion Holdings: Negatives largely priced in According to Wood Mackenzie, global capital spending by exploration and production (E&P) companies will total US$450b in 2017, up 3% compared to 2016 after two years of steep declines. Still, E&P investment in 2017 is expected to remain 40% below the level in 2014, and we expect the operating environment to remain challenging for many companies. Longer term investors, however, may choose to look beyond this and pick up beaten-down stocks whose negatives have been mostly priced in. Looking ahead, we expect Ezion to report impairments in its upcoming FY16 results but these are non-cash items, and the stock’s current low valuation (0.4x book) has largely priced in the negatives. Though the operating environment may still be challenging for companies in the industry, we think confidence is on the up. Based on a conservative 0.55x FY17F book, we raise our fair value estimate for Ezion to S$0.54. Upgrade to BUY. |

CapitaLand Commercial Trust Catalysts In Place To Overcome Near-Term Headwinds CCT has rebounded strongly by 5% since the beginning of the year. We believe stock has more legs with positive news flow from redevelopment of GSCP acting as a key catalyst. A potential stake sale in One George Street could also allow it to recycle capital and eliminate any funding concerns. Despite negative headwinds facing the office market in 2017 we believe it is relatively well positioned due to its quality assets and high portfolio occupancy. Maintain BUY with a SGD1.68 TP (8% upside). It remains our Top Pick among the office S-REITs. |
