Y Ventures Group Ltd More controlled expansion SINGAPORE | E-COMMERCE | 2H18 RESULTS
Results were below expectations due to poor sales of non-book products, weaker gross margins, higher operating expenses and write-offs in inventory and bad debts. 80% of FY18 revenue is from the sale of books and YVEN has expanded their publishing principals from 1 to 8. A major change is strategy is to faster monetize their data analytics capabilities through the sale of services. We lowered FY19e earnings to marginal profitability. Any turnaround in profits is earmarked in FY20e. Our target price of S$0.16 will be based off FY20e earnings and PE of 30x. This is priced against other e-retailer comparables.

Japan Foods (JFOOD SP) Near-Term Headwinds; Prefer Sheng Siong
Stay NEUTRAL with SGD0.45 TP from SGD0.48, 5% upside, with c.5% FY20F (Mar) yield as we lower FY19F-20F earnings by 12%. The ongoing rationalisation of stores and moderating consumer discretionary spending amidst slowing economic growth has dragged profits lower in FY19. While Japan Foods continues to improve operational efficiencies, expand regional presence, refresh its ageing brands and launch new franchise brands, intense competition and tight labour supply could keep near-term profits depressed. A net cash balance sheet, strong FCF generation and c.5% yield should provide support to its share price. Sheng Siong (SSG SP, BUY, TP: SGD1.25), a grocery retailer, is our preferred pick in the Consumer sector.
