Food Empire Holdings (FEH SP) Time For Re-rating On Outstanding Earnings Performance
We expect a re-rating on the back of strong earnings despite a challenging environment where Singapore consumer peers are suffering. The group’s aggressive stock buyback, mostly carried out in 4Q20 to Jan 21, underlines its confidence in its business outlook. We raise our 2020-22 EPS forecasts by 4-12% on the back of stable demand. At current price, the stock trades at a compelling 9.7x 2021F PE. Maintain BUY with an 8% higher target price of S$0.95.
