Jardine Matheson Holdings Ltd Strong balance sheet to weather Covid-19
■ Jardine Matheson’s 1H20 underlying net profit was below expectations at 24% of our full-year estimate and 27% of consensus’s. ■ The group expects the short-term outlook to be challenging given the Covid19 outbreak but notes some signs of business recovery. ■ Even so, we upgrade the stock from Hold to Add as some of the earnings uncertainty has been priced in.

Hi-P International (HIP SP) Worst is over
Improved FY20E outlook priced in; maintain HOLD Hi-P’s 1H20 PATMI was ahead of our expectation, falling only 3.3% YoY to SGD24.2m despite Covid-19 disruptions in 1Q20. This was due to strong production momentum in 2Q20, as well as grants and subsidies. Hi-P also raised guidance for FY20 profit to be similar YoY from lower YoY previously. We raise FY20-22E EPS by 26-48%. We also roll forward our valuation base to FY21E, and our ROE-g/COE-g TP rises to SGD1.23 (1.4x FY21E P/B, prev: 1x FY20E P/B). Given neutral risk-reward, we maintain HOLD.

Sheng Siong (SSG SP) An Exceptional 2Q20; Maintain BUY
Maintain BUY, new SGD1.87 TP from SGD1.72, 10% upside with 3% FY20F yield. Sheng Siong delivered outstanding 2Q20 results. PATMI surged 1.5x to SGD46m. We note that the exceptional earnings were the result of Singapore’s implementation of the “circuit breaker” in Apr-May 2020. We also expect sales growth to taper down, as Singapore moved into the second phase of reopening the economy. Nonetheless, the stock is likely to remain a favourite amongst investors, due to its resilient earnings and strong cash flow.
