Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp (OCBC SP) 3Q21: Pick-up In Loan And Deposit Growth
Earnings grew 19% yoy in 3Q21 and were slightly above our forecast. NIM was dragged lower by one-off factors, such as interest reversals from downgrades of secured consumer loans in Malaysia and lower gapping income. Loan growth has picked up in 2H21 and should sustain into 2022. Management guided high single-digit loan growth for 2022. OCBC provides attractive dividend yield of 4.2% for 2021 and 4.7% for 2022. P/B is low at 1.0x. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$15.35.

Venture Corporation (VMS SP) 3Q21: Results Below Expectations; Customer Demand Remains Healthy
3Q21 earnings of S$77m (-4% yoy/+3% qoq) missed our expectations by 7%, with 9M21 accounting for 68% of our 2021 estimates. The weaker-than-expected results are due to sporadic lockdowns and critical shortages of chips. VMS continues to see a strong customer demand. We expect the sequential improvement trend to continue, but at a lower magnitude. We trim our 2021 and 2022 EPS by 7%. Maintain BUY, and reduce target price by 7% to S$22.04 (pegged to +1SD, 19.5x 2022F PE).
