SHENG SIONG
BUY (Maintained); TP S$1.75, Last close: S$1.53
- 1Q22 revenue/PATMI was within expectations at 28%/31% of our forecast. We have modelled a decline in sales in 2H22.
- Margins continue to climb. The 28.7% gross margin in 1Q22 is the highest for a festive laden quarter where promotions are more prevalent.
- We maintain our FY22e earnings. Our BUY recommendation and target price of S$1.75 are unchanged. Our valuation is pegged to 23x PE, a 10% discount to the 5-year historical average of 25x PE the reopening of borders and group restrictions is expected to reduce home dining. This will negatively impact the consumption of groceries. The return of Malaysian workers who were temporarily residing in Singapore is another potential loss of customers. A possible implication of rising inflation is consumers downgrading to home dining or shopping more in value grocers such as Sheng Siong. FY22e will be a transition year but valuations have turned more attractive and the resumption of new store openings will help drive earnings growth.
