Asian Pay Television Trust Stable with early signs of 5G
SINGAPORE | TELECOMMUNICATION| 2Q22 RESULTS Results met our expectations. 1H revenue and EBITDA were at 49%/48% of our FY22e estimates. 2Q22 distribution was maintained at 0.25 cents per unit.
Broadband remains the growth segment, rising 16% YoY but pulled down by 7% contraction in cable TV revenue. 5G backhaul revenue was S$2.2mn annualised (FY21:S$1.6mn).
We upgrade to BUY due to the recent share price weakness. No change to our FY22e EBITDA forecast and target price of S$0.15, based on 9x FY21e EV/EBITDA, a 20% discount to Taiwanese peers. The current dividend yield of 8.5% or S$18mn payout, is well supported by an estimated free cash flows of around S$80mn p.a.

ComfortDelGro Corp Ltd Recovery is underway, except China SINGAPORE | TRANSPORT SERVICES | 2Q22 RESULTS 1H22 revenue and PATMI were 49%/35% respectively of our FY22e forecast. Results were below expectations due to taxi rebates of S$10mn in China due to the lockdown.
Huge operating leverage was underway in the results. Excluding government relief and non-recurring items, operating profit in 2Q22 jumped 2.5-fold to S$62mn.
The recovery is at a nascent stage. Return to office and other activities started only in the later part of 2Q22. We expect 2H22 to be stronger. Taxi revenue will benefit from the rising number of trips and an increase in booking fees. Rail ridership is recovering strongly from a surge in ridership. No change in our forecast or DCF target price (WACC 8%) of S$1.80.

Netlink NBN Trust (NETLINK SP) Run its course for now
1Q23 broadly in line but limited growth; D/G to HOLD PATMI for 1QFY23 rose to SGD27.6m (+11.3% YoY), ahead of MIBG/consensus expectations, accounting for 29%/28% of the respective FY23 forecasts. The increase was mainly due to a surge in ancillary project revenue (+137% YoY).
We conservatively trim our FY23-25F PATMI estimates by 2-4% on concern over rising interest cost. As such, we downgrade our call from Buy to HOLD with a 5% lower DDM-based TP of SGD1.00 as we raise our cost of equity (COE) to 6.6% on a higher risk-free rate assumption.

Riverstone Holdings (RSTON SP) 1H22: Results In Line, Although Headwinds Persist
For 1H22, PATMI was in line with expectations, dragged down by falling ASPs and moderating demand for healthcare gloves. The healthcare gloves segment faces ongoing headwinds as additional supply starts to come on stream.
Cleanroom gloves remained resilient in 2Q22 with ASPs holding steady, although demand is expected to soften slightly in 3Q22 due to ongoing sporadic China lockdowns. With no immediate catalysts, maintain HOLD on Riverstone with a lower target price of S$0.67.
