SATS Ltd Stretching the limit
■ SATS will release its 4QFY3/17 results on 19 May. We expect SATS to report 4QFY17 net profit of S$60m-63m and final DPS of S$0.11. ■ To sustain its 23x FY18 P/E valuation or +2.5 s.d. of 5-year mean, SATS needs to achieve at least 10% EPS growth in FY18F, which we believe may be a stretch. ■ Our target price is raised to S$5.17, still based on blended valuations of DCF and P/E (19x), to incorporate our EPS tweak from lower cost assumptions.

Midas Holdings: Decent start to the year
Midas Holdings Limited’s (Midas) 1Q17 revenue grew 31.3% YoY to RMB398.4m, mainly due to the consolidation of results of its recently business. While 1Q17 overall GPM fell 3.1ppt YoY to 27.9%, Midas’ share of profits of its associate recorded a 359.3% YoY increase. Consequently, 1Q17 PATMI was within expectations as it grew 187.6% YoY to RMB28.7m. Looking ahead, we expect revenue to be higher as new businesses contribute in FY17 along with growth from its core AEP business while overall GPM to decline given this change in sales mix. Midas also announced yesterday that it has been awarded 13 international and PRC supply contracts worth a total of RMB520.9m, which in our view are positive for Midas’ growth. All said, we believe Midas’ growth outlook still largely hinges on the ramp up and execution of its new start-up business – JMLA. With in-line 1Q17 results, we made slight adjustments to our forecasts and lower our FV from S$0.255 to S$0.245 (based on 0.6x FY17F P/B). Maintain HOLD. |

FY17 core earnings formed 98% and 100% of our /consensus estimates respectively, in line with management’s guidance.

An expected final DPS of 10.7 cent/share (payable in August) brings FY17 DPS to 17.5cents/share. This reflects a payout of 73%, ie at the higher-end of its guidance (60-75%).
