Banks Banking on more patience
■ Fed rates left unchanged at 2.25-2.5% amid lowered GDP, inflation and unemployment estimates. The Fed projects zero hikes in 2019 and 1 in 2020. ■ Singapore banks’ NIMs should still see upside in 2019. Average 3MSIBOR rose to 1.92% in 3M19 while mortgage board rates have repriced upwards. ■ Maintain Overweight. We think the pause in rate hikes has been priced into valuations, although a rate cut could be a key de-rating catalyst.

Valuetronics (VALUE SP) PCBA allocation risks priced in Priced in; maintain BUY VALUE believes PCBA sales might be pressured if its customer decides to diversify its supplier pool due to the Sino-US trade war. To gauge the downside from such event, we evaluate the impact of an aggressive 50% cut in VALUE’s FY20E PCBA sales. Our simulation suggests a 10% earnings impact, and prospective yield would be 5.9% (current forecast: 6.4%). Given still attractive 41% upside to our ROE-g/COE-g fair value outcome of SGD0.98 (-7% from current TP), we believe such risks are priced in. Read more... |
