CIVMEC We continue to favor Civmec given its robust order books which will provide good sales and earnings visibility over the next 2 years. We also note that management remains confident of sustaining its steady improvements in profit margins given economies of scale as well as productivity improvements via automations and cost efficiencies. Management is also confident of meeting consensus expectations of $60mln profit this year, translating to undemanding forward PE of only 7x while annualized dividend yield is an attractive 5.8% and price to book is 1x. Earnings yield of Civmec is a robust 13.7% compared to risk free rates of 5%. Bloomberg consensus target price of $1.25 implies a potential upside of 38%. Civmec’s net cash position and low capex budget provides them with flexibility to continue to raise their dividends (which has been on a rising trend in the past 5 years), hence we maintain “Accumulate” rating on Civmec. (we see the change in domicile of the company to Australia as a catalyst for securing more defense contracts from the Australian government). |

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (388 HK) October Headline ADT Slumped To Lowest Level In Four Years
October headline ADT plunged 12.7% mom to HK$78.8b mainly due to weak investor sentiment as concerns over the economic recovery momentum persisted. Although November ADT rebounded 14.4% after the levy cut announcement, it still remains below the HK$100b level. Nonetheless, we still expect the potential year-end rally and earlier rate cut bets to contribute to improved ADT and stock price performance. Maintain BUY. Target price: HK$370.00.
