SATS (SATS SP) Ready For Border Re-openings; Exploring M&A Opportunities
At S$4.56, SATS is trading at just 5% below pre-COVID-19 level, implying that the street is swiftly pricing in a recovery. Operationally, we sense there would be significant operating leverage as flights resume, but a key uncertainty is the impact on margins from changes in inflight catering. SATS also appears to be on the lookout for bolt-on acquisitions, possibly in China or India to add scale to its operations. At current price, SATS is trading at 22.7x pre-pandemic earnings. Maintain HOLD. Target: S$4.27.

UMS Holdings Market leader rallies the troops
• UMS reported 4Q20 results with sales up 9% YoY (FY20: 25%). FY20 gross margins are up by ~40bps to 53.3%, while profits missed estimates due to goodwill impairments on Kalf Engineering and JEP Holdings. • Extend the lead. Key customer continues raising guidance, with expectations of taking market share from other players. We think UMS may be in store for another year of strong revenue growth, based off the key customer’s comments. • Maintain OUTPERFORM with raised TP of S$1.43. We see further upside from a recovery in associate contributions, better than expected margins and additional news on expansion initiatives.
