Delfi (DELFI SP) Recapturing The Value Segment; Keep BUY
BUY, SGD1.68 TP implies 75% upside with c.4% FY20F yield. Delfi is the market leader in Indonesia’s chocolate confectionery space, with a c.45-50% market share. Despite the softer outlook for Indonesia’s domestic consumption in 2020, we expect Delfi’s earnings to grow by a solid 13% YoY this year, underpinned by its premiumisation strategy as well as the introduction of new products to recapture the value segment. Recent paring down of shares by substantial shareholders could also bring about improved liquidity.

DBS Group Holdings (DBS SP) 4Q19 Results Preview: Seasonally Slower Quarter
We forecast net profit of S$1,405m for 4Q19, up 6.5% yoy (on a low base) but down 13.8% qoq (seasonal pullback). We expect NIM compression of 4bp qoq, fee income growth of 23.6% yoy and stable credit cost of 25bp. The SARS outbreak in 2003 had limited impact on DBS’ asset quality. Contrary to widely-held perception, DBS’ NPL ratio improved 1.0ppt to 5.7% in 2003. We expect quarterly dividend to improve 6.7% to 32 S cents. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$28.65.
