City Developments Limited Anticipating stronger growth in hospitality
SINGAPORE | REAL ESTATE | 1H23 Results 1H23 revenue of S$2.7bn (+83.6% YoY) was in line and formed 71% of our FY23e forecast due to the full revenue recognition of Piermont Grand Executive Condominium (EC) upon completion in 1H23. PATMI underperformed at S$66.4mn (-94.1% YoY) due to the absence of divestment gains in 1H22, as well as higher financing costs and impairment/ fair value losses in 1H23. Excluding divestment gains and impairment losses, EBITDA and PBT increased 48%; PATMI increased 1% YoY to S$104.3mn.

SEA (SE US) 2Q23: Consistent Profitability, Reinvesting for E-commerce Growth
2Q23 earnings surpassed our expectations, primarily driven by the DFS segment, particularly the credit business. Increased quarterly earnings can be attributed to the DE sector, reflecting a rise in active and paying users. E-commerce profitability persisted in 2Q23, while SEA was relooking into more growth opportunities. Maintain BUY with target price of US$94.34, with the belief that SEA will become the first Southeast Asian e-commerce company to achieve positive earnings in 2023.

Wilmar International (WIL SP) The Worst Could Be Over But Earnings Recovery Will Be Relatively Slow
After attending Wilmar’s and YKA’s briefings, we opine that the worst could be over but 2H23 earnings recovery may not be able to fully compensate 1H23’s weakness. Thus, we have trimmed 2023/24/25 earnings forecasts by 22%, 12% and 5% respectively. The 13% share price weakness ytd could have factored in the disappointing earnings in 1H23. Look forward to 2024 with an expected earnings growth of 30%. We roll over our target price, based on 2024F EPS. New target price is S$4.30. Maintain BUY.
