134 Singapore Property Stocks with Discounted NAV Strategy (为善最乐)

Posted on May 9, 2021 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

In recent Ein55 Charity Course on Global Discounted NAV (DNAV) Stocks, we have raised fund of $24,488 to help needy families in Singapore. Under the spirit of charity, Dr Tee decides to share 134 Singapore Property Stocks and 3 global DNAV stocks in 3 countries with readers (detailed strategies including Ein55 Optimism levels, Ein55 intrinsic values and DNAV will be shared):

1) Singapore DNAV Stock – Hongkong Land (SGX: H78)

2) Malaysia DNAV Stock – Paramount (Bursa: 1724)

3) Hong Kong / China DNAV Stock – Yuexiu Property (HKEx: 123)

Dr Tee, Ein55 Mentors & Graduates have together organized 11 charity investment courses (REITs in Nov 2015, May 2017 and May 2019, High Dividend Stocks in Mar 2016, Oct 2017 and Nov 2019, Global Growth Stocks in Apr 2018 and Nov 2020, and Discounted NAV Stocks in Sep 2016, Nov 2018 and May 2021) in the past 6 years, donating net income of around $222,000 to Tzu Chi 慈济 Singapore.

We hope to inspire more Ein55 Graduates to reach out the society, helping others who are in need. More importantly, they have also learned the secrets of making money through investment. When more Ein55 Graduates are successful financially, they could also contribute back to the society to help more people in future (为善最乐).

Discounted Net Asset Value (DNAV) Strategy is valuation of company business, firstly based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) listed in current Balance Sheet. Then, we determine the net cash that would be received if all assets were sold and liabilities paid off. Various discounts will be applied based on different quality of asset classes. It is safer to buy stock with share price below the Discounted NAV (much more conservative than price below NAV or Price-to-Book ratio, PB < 1). Unlike PB method mainly applied for asset rich company (eg. property stocks), DNAV method can be applied in non-property or not cash-rich stocks. However, Ein55 Optimism strategies have to be integrated to avoid value trap, i.e. Buy Low Get Lower for undervalue stocks.

The best time to buy global DNAV stocks and 134 Singapore property stocks is always during global stock crisis (eg. Year 2020-2021 during pandemic, 2008—2009 during subprime crisis, etc), not only able to maximize the dividend yield (due to lower entry share price), also could have higher potential of capital gains (when market cycle moves from fear in low optimism to greed in high optimism). Singapore property stock investing is not based on undervalue strategy (Buy Undervalue Sell Overprice) alone, may be integrated with dividend investing, growth investing, swing trading, momentum trading, cyclic investing, defensive investing and other Ein55 strategies.

There are 134 Singapore property stocks (not all are giant stocks with Dr Tee criteria), based on the last price traded (7 May 2021), sorted by 3 key Fundamental Criteria:
1) ROE (a criteria for growth stocks, eg. ROE > 5%),
2) Dividend Yield, DY (a criteria for dividend stocks, eg. DY > 3%),
3) Price-to-Book (PB) ratio, Price/NAV (a criteria for undervalue stocks, eg. PB < 1).

From the table sorted below, over 75% (101/134 stocks) are undervalue (Price to Book ratio, PB < 1), mainly due to COVID-19 stock crisis, affecting property construction business with bearish share prices but property asset valuation remains stable. There are only 20% (27/134 stocks) have growing businesses (over 5% ROE, Return on Equity) while over 50% (72/134 stocks) were making losses during pandemic in Year 2020. There are nearly 50% (62/134 stocks) were paying dividend but only 22 stocks (16%) having dividend yield over 3%, potential for dividend investing.

However, not all the 134 Singapore property stocks listed are giant stocks. A growing business in the past may not be sustainable during COVID-19 period and an undervalue stock may remain lagging in share prices for many years, could end up as a crisis stock. Fundamental Analysis alone is not sufficient, a low PB or low PE or high dividend yield stock may be a value trap as this may be the result of lower share price with weakening businesses. Therefore, deeper analysis is required with LOFTP (Level, Optimism, Fundamental, Technical, Personal Analysis) Strategies.

Let’s learn these 3 global Discounted NAV giant stocks in 3 countries, understanding the business nature, investment clock and unique strategy.

1) Singapore DNAV Stock – Hongkong Land (SGX: H78)

Hongkong Land is part of Jardine Group with over 100 years of history. It has property businesses mainly in Hong Kong, China and Singapore with 61% in investment properties (main source of rental income) and 39% in development properties. The West Bund project in Xuhui Shanghai of China would be major revenue contributor in the next few years.

Hongkong Land is still at low Ein55 Optimism (<25%) but recovering well from low in pandemic, aiming for Ein55 intrinsic value of about $9/share. This stock has Discounted NAV of $15/share (close to NAV, implying very high quality of its asset), providing high safety of margin for long term investors with stable dividend payment (about 4-5% dividend yield, depending on entry price). Assuming extreme devaluation of Hong Kong property market by 50%, Hongkong Land would still have $7.50/share value for very conservative investors. The “loss” of Hongkong Land in Year 2020 is mainly accounting loss due to devaluation of property but cashflow is still strong to support the dividend payment, behaving as if a REIT.

Recent acquisition of parent company, JSH (SGX: J37) by JMH (SGX: J36), has helped to support the prices of other stocks in Jardine group including Hongkong Land. Jardine Group may have more corporate actions in future to release the hidden value of subsidiary stocks including Hongkong Land, Jardine Cycle & Carriage – JCC (SGX: C07), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01) and Mandarin Oriental Hotel (SGX: M04). However, the recovery pattern of share prices for undervalue stock can be different from growth stocks. Hongkong Land is more suitable for long term investors with patient, positioning as a mid-fielder stock, good balance between capital gains and dividend as passive income.

2) Malaysia DNAV Stock – Paramount (Bursa: 1724)

Paramount is a Malaysia property development stock with 50 years of history in businesses. After divestment of education segment business, Paramount has drawn up a new 5-year (2020 – 2024) strategic roadmap to focus on Property development and concentrate on landed developments and integrated developments in Malaysia. In the next 5 years, Paramount plans to venture into overseas property development projects, expecting to contribute approximately 10% of the Group’s revenue. It enjoys recurring income from investment property and minority interest in education business.

Paramount is still at low Ein55 Optimism (<25%) but recovering well from low in pandemic, aiming for Ein55 intrinsic value of about $1.20/share. This stock has Discounted NAV of $2.17/share (20% lower than NAV, partly due to lower value of non-property business), providing high safety of margin for long term investors with stable dividend payment (about 4-5% dividend yield, depending on entry price). Assuming extreme devaluation of Malaysia property market by 50%, Paramount would still have $1.08/share value for very conservative investors.

Malaysia property stock investing is complicated by worse pandemic condition, political instability and weaker consumer purchasing power. Paramount is more suitable for long term investors with patient, positioning as a mid-fielder stock, good balance between capital gains and dividend as passive income.

3) Hong Kong / China DNAV Stock – Yuexiu Property (HKEx: 123)

Yuexiu Property is a China property developer company (state-owned enterprise), originated in Guangzhou, expanding property businesses to other 19 cities in China. In 2019, Guangzhou Metro (another state-owned enterprise) becomes the second largest investor of Yuexiu Property, deepening the strategic collaboration between 2 giants (transportation and property).

Yuexiu Property is at moderate low Ein55 Optimism of about 40%, near to Ein55 intrinsic value of $2.20. This stock has Discounted NAV of $1.27/share (much lower than its NAV), higher than its current share price, therefore no safety of margin for very conservative investors. Yuexiu Property may still be considered for growth investing with dividend payment (about 6-7% dividend yield, depending on entry price). Trend-following strategy with S.E.T. (Stop Loss, Entry, Target Prices) trading plan may be integrated into stock investing without DNAV protection.

Yuexiu Property belongs to Yuexiu Group, which also owns 2 other subsidiary stocks, Yuexiu Reit (HKEx: 405) and Yuexiu Transport Infrastructure (HKEx: 1052) which may also be considered for dividend stock investing. Major shareholder and sponsor is Guangzhou local government, providing strong support to Yuexiu Group of stocks.

30 Singapore Banking and Finance Stocks (狮城财神)

Posted on June 18, 2020 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

30 Singapore Banking and Finance Stocks DBS OCBC UOB SGX

The best way to make money is to let money make more money. In this article, you will learn 30 Singapore Banking & Finance Stocks which are efficient in making money with money for investors, focusing in 6 groups of stocks (with strategies for 3 major bank stocks: DBS, OCBC and UOB):

1) Bank Stocks
2) Finance Stocks
3) Insurance Stocks
4) Stock Broker Stocks
5) Pawnbroker Stocks
6) Investment and Other Stocks

There are only 30 Banking & Finance stocks in Singapore, relatively less than other sectors as Singapore has tighter regulation in finance sector for services such as lending money (limited licenses available):

AMTD IB OV (SGX: HKB), B&M Hldg (SGX: CJN), DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Edition (SGX: 5HG), G K Goh (SGX: G41), Global Investment (SGX: B73), Great Eastern (SGX: G07), Hong Leong Finance (SGX: S41), Hotung Investment (SGX: BLS), IFAST Corporation (SGX: AIY), IFS Capital (SGX: I49), Intraco (SGX: I06), Maxi-Cash Finance (SGX: 5UF), MoneyMax Finance (SGX: 5WJ), Net Pacific Finance (SGX: 5QY), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), Pacific Century (SGX: P15), Prudential USD (SGX: K6S), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), SHS (SGX: 566), Sing Investments & Finance (SGX: S35), Singapore Reinsurance (SGX: S49), Singapura Finance (SGX: S23), TIH (SGX: T55), Uni-Asia Group (SGX: CHJ), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), UOB-KAY HIAN HOLDINGS (SGX: U10), UOI (SGX: U13), ValueMax (SGX: T6I), Vibrant Group (SGX: BIP).

From the table sorted for 30 Singapore banking & finance stocks, mostly are profitable (26 / 30 stocks were making money in businesses last year) but still undervalue (22 / 30 stocks have Price to Book ratio, PB < 1, some have higher quality asset such as cash, properties and equities, potential target for future acquisition).

There are 7 stocks having PB < 0.5 with 50% discount over asset but an investor must double check on quality of assets and whether the business could be sustainable to make money. If not, undervalue stock may continue to be undervalue for a long period of time, may not suitable for long term stock investing nor short term stock trading.

Based on Dr Tee criteria, from the 30 Singapore Banking & Finance stocks above, only 8 are giant stocks, some are marginal giant stocks (despite business fundamentals are reasonably good). A few Banking & Finance giant stocks were discussed with more details in Dr Tee earlier articles (see www.ein55.com/blog), eg. DBS (SGX: D05) and Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68).

Focus of this article is discussion on 6 main groups of Banking & Finance stocks in Singapore, understanding the risks and opportunities:

1) Bank Stocks

After decades of merging and acquisition, there are only 3 major local banks in Singapore: DBS (SGX: D05), OCBC (SGX: O39), UOB (SGX: U11), all are STI component stocks. Naturally, these 3 blue chip stocks become the first choice for investment in bank stocks. DBS, OCBC and UOB contribute in total to 1/3 of STI Index weightage, therefore could easily move up or down the entire Singapore stock market whenever there is major move in bank sector.

Here is a list of 30 STI component stocks sorted by size of market cap (significant contribution by 3 major bank stocks):
DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), Hongkong Land (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09), CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

Most bank stocks are cyclic in nature, including Singapore and global bank stocks in US, Malaysia, Hong Kong, etc. Therefore, market cycle investing strategy is required with alignment to Optimism Strategies to Buy Low Sell High, as well as good understanding the global stock market and economic cycle. Bank sector is the key pillar of economy (business needs money to operate), therefore investment in giant bank stocks in a country with growing economy would enjoy the capital gains of prosperity (狮城财神).

So, which of the 3 major Singapore bank stocks are better? Well, the choice is dependent on stock trading or investment strategy which is personality dependent. The historical stock price chart of DBS, OCBC and UOB with STI (could be considered with STI ETF) shows that these 4 counters are aligned in general directions in longer term.

In longer term, the differences of DBS, OCBC and UOB are mainly on pattern of stocks. DBS is the largest Singapore bank, also the most cyclic among 3 bank stocks, usually correcting more than STI during global financial crisis (eg. Year 2008-2009, falling below $10/share) and outperforming STI, OCBC and UOB during the bullish phase of economy. DBS is more suitable for cycling investing (Buy Low Sell High) and possibly momentum trading (Buy High Sell Higher) when stock market is bullish.

OCBC is the second largest Singapore bank, more defensive with less volatility in prices. OCBC is more suitable for dividend stock investor who prefers to Buy Low and Hold for a long term. So, each global stock crisis (following optimism strategies) could be an opportunity to add more position.

UOB is the smallest bank in Singapore, performance is also in between DBS and OCBC. In general, an investor may choose between DBS and OCBC and their business sizes are larger than UOB. In fact, for short term to mid term trading (months), differences of 3 major bank stocks are limited, any of the 3 bank stocks may be considered but trading rules should be followed (eg. setting S.E.T. in trading plan with Stop Loss / Entry / Target Prices) for Swing Trading or Momentum Trading.

There is no need to invest in all the 3 major bank stocks for diversification as in general, they are all relatively safer than most of the banks in the world due to tight MAS regulations for Singapore banks. Investing in a particular bank stock could be better than investing in STI ETF because bank stocks could have higher dividend yield (5-6%, depending on entry share prices) and growth are stronger than STI (which are diversified over 30 stocks, which some are weaker than DBS, OCBC and UOB).

In general, being a bank has a strong economic moat, especially in Singapore as there are limited licenses issued by government. A smart investor could become a “banker” through investing in any of these 3 major Singapore banks. Each of them has strong sponsor with decades of history in businesses, eg. DBS by Temasek, OCBC by Lee Family, UOB by Wee Cho Yaw.

So, it is possible to invest for lifetime (Buy Low & Hold for life) or even pass to next generation (eg. OCBC has nearly 100 years of history for several generations). Disruptive technology (eg. online payment or virtual bank) would have less impact on traditional bank stocks as bank sector is tightly regulated by local government due to sensitive asset of money. Bank stocks usually are more suitable as positioning as defender in a stock portfolio, more gradual growth with consistent passive income.

Due to low global bank interest rates (nearly 0 for US), the interest income would be less with lower Net Interest Margin (NIM). However, banks could still be profitable with interest income, just the return would be lower. Banks also have other businesses such as investment, credit card, insurance, wealth management, etc, which could provide non-interest income but usually would also be affected in a bearish economy. Therefore, entry with low-optimism stock price far below the fair value (following Dr Tee Optimism Strategies) is key for success in bank stocks investing.

2) Finance Stocks

Finance companies could provide similar services as banks (eg. loan & deposit) but with much smaller scale. There are a few Finance Stocks in Singapore: Singapura Finance (SGX: S23), Sing Investments & Finance (SGX: S35) and Hong Leong Finance (SGX: S41). These 3 finance stocks have reasonably good business fundamental but these 3 Singapore Finance Stocks may not be in the same grade for investing as 3 major Singapore bank stocks.

Finance stocks have relatively weaker business fundamental than bank stocks. Stock investment is always relative comparison, looking for the best, not just good or acceptable. In addition, Singapura Finance, Sing Investments & Finance and Hong Leong Finance are less well known, therefore lower confidence by customers (to deposit money) and investors (to invest in finance stocks).

Hong Leong Finance has a strong sponsor of Kwek Leng Beng (Hong Leong Group Singapore / City Development – SGX: C09). However, its cousin (Kwek Leng Chan of Hong Leng Group Malaysia) stock of Hong Leong Bank (Bursa: 5819) would be a much better choice between 2 stocks as 1 is finance stock, 1 is bank stock with strong business fundamental. Details of Quek / Kwek family of stocks are described by Dr Tee in earlier article (https://www.ein55.com/2020/05/15-hong-leong-group-and-kwek-family-stocks/).

In short, a stock investor may ignore weaker Finance Stocks, aiming for stronger Bank Stocks directly, considering both the stock and business performance, especially for lifetime investing. For shorter term trading, it is possible to consider Finance Stocks if there are positive signals in this group.

3) Insurance Stocks

There are a few Insurance Stocks in Singapore: Great Eastern (SGX: G07), Prudential (SGX: K6S), UOI (SGX: U13), Singapore Reinsurance (SGX: S49) and other stocks which provide partial services on insurance. These 4 Singapore insurance stocks have good business fundamental but only 2 are considered giant stocks (based on Dr Tee criteria) worth longer term investing.

Usually insurance companies are also suitable partner for banks, eg. Great Eastern is under OCBC, UOI is with UOB, LPI (Bursa: 8621) is with Public Bank (Bursa: 1295), etc. This way, similar pool of clients in both banks and insurance groups may be approached with higher chance of success. A stock investor may choose to invest directly in subsidiary (insurance stock) or indirectly through parent stock (bank which has partial business in insurance), if both are giant stocks, the choice is dependent on own personality and pattern of stock.

Confidence in business stability is important for an insurance client (to ensure compensation would be received if any misfortune based on agreement). Therefore, a reputable insurance brand with decades of business history (supported by strong sponsor) is crucial.

There are only 2 business sectors almost guaranteed to make money in long term: Insurance and Casino (eg. Genting Singapore, SGX: G13) as they apply probability in business to make money. It is possible for unexpected hurricanes to destroy houses, US insurance companies (including Warren Buffett’s Berkshire, NYSE: BRK) could suffer losses in 1 particular year. However, past statistics (eg. accident rates in driving, Covid-19 risks, etc) would help to naturally adjust the future premium. If there is a need, resinsurance company could help to share the risks of primary insurance company. Similarly, a stock investor should apply probability investing in making decision of What Stocks to Buy, When to Buy / Sell.

However, insurance business requires customer interactions, eg. meet-up before a policy may be eventually signed. During Covid-19 with global lockdown, both banks (eg. wealth management) and insurance companies suffer due to less chances to meet-up with customers. Due to less income from Great Eastern (subsidiary), parent company OCBC reported 40% less income in Q1/2020. However, insurance sector could recover with restart of economy which allows social interaction for businesses.

4) Stock Broker Stocks

There are a few Stock Brokerage related Stocks in Singapore: Singapore Exchange, SGX (SGX: S68), UOB Kay Hian (SGX: U10) and IFAST (SGX: AIY) are listed in SGX. CGS-CIMB is a joint venture with 2 overseas parent stocks from China and Malaysia: China Galaxy Securities, CGS (HKEx: 6881) and CIMB (Bursa: 1023). Maybank Kim Eng has a parent company in Malaysia, Maybank (Bursa: 1155).

These 6 Stock Brokerage related stocks and parent stocks have good business fundamental but only 3 of them are giant stocks (including Singapore Exchange, SGX, details were given in earlier Dr Tee article: https://www.ein55.com/2020/05/5-global-stock-exchanges-stocks/).

Due to relatively low stock volume in Singapore stock market (except during bullish market or stock crisis time), stock broker stocks with only stock trading business has limited profits when stock market is “quiet” with little price volatility (eg. STI has been ranging around 3000 +/- 300 points over the past 10 years). Only when stock market is very bullish (eg. crazy bull in Years 2000 and 2007) or during global stock crisis (eg. dumping of stocks in Years 2008-2009 and Mar 2020), then stock volume would be relatively higher.

At the same time, Singapore Exchange has more products (stocks and derivatives) for local and overseas customers with profitable monopoly business (unless stock brokers have to compete for similar business of stock trading, lowering commission to gain business but lower profit margin). Singapore has relatively smaller market with less number of traders and investors with more stable (“quiet” market), therefore stock brokerage could become part of a parent company business, may not be the main business to remain profitable. For example, UOB Kay Hian is with UOB group, could also be integrated with UOI (insurance) business with sharing of similar pool of potential clients. So, an investor may invest directly in more profitable parent stock if subsidiary stock (eg. stock brokerage) is playing supporting role with less income.

IFAST is a relatively young stock with strong business fundamental. In fact, stock brokerage business is considered bonus for IFAST as its main business is on fund management which itself could grow naturally (high recurring incomes) yearly with compounding effect. Similarly, the integrated business of fund, stock, insurance, bond, etc, giving an edge to IFAST business. IFAST has high potential with overseas business expansion and even bidding for virtual bank license in Singapore (but intense competition). The main weakness of IFAST is that it is a younger player, therefore relatively less well known among the investors, resulting in “undervalue” share prices, not aligned with its business performance.

5) Pawnbroker Stocks

Interestingly, there are only 3 stocks in Singapore having the name “Max” and all are Pawnbroker Stocks: ValueMax (SGX: T6I), Maxi-Cash Finance (SGX: 5UF), MoneyMax Finance (SGX: 5WJ). Pawnbroker is a special “Finance” stock as it provides easy way of loan, especially to needy people who may not get the loan easily from banks.

A pawnbroker stock has pawnshops that offer secured loans to people, with valuables (eg. gold, silver, jewelry, coins, luxury handbags, etc) used as collateral. If an item is pawned for a loan, within a certain contractual period of time, the pawner may redeem it for the amount of the loan plus some agreed-upon amount for interest. If the loan is not paid (or extended, if applicable) within the time period, the pawned item will be offered for sale to other customers by the pawnbroker.

Since gold or related jewelry is a common valuable as collateral for loan, the “value” of pawnbroker stock would partly related to gold prices. After reaching high optimism, gold market started to from about US$1900/oz in Year 2012 to US$1000+/oz in Year 2016, then recovering gradually to current price of US$1700+/oz in Year 2020. The chart below shows the correlation of falling in gold price and stock prices of ValueMax, Maxi-Cash and MoneyMax which has weaker business fundamental during this period of time (clients or pawners may choose not to redeem the gold as prices have been falling in these 4 years from 2012 o 2016), holding to assets which are declining in values.

3 Singapore Pawnbroker Stocks ValueMax Maxi-Cash Money Max Gold

However, gold started to become bullish from Years 2016 to 2020, business fundamentals of all 3 pawnbrokers (ValueMax, Maxi-Cash and MoneyMax) have improved significantly. However, the rising of gold price with strong business fundamental do not help much on their share prices, simply changing from downtrend to sideways. In fact, all 3 pawnbroker stocks also pay dividend like bank stocks, having high dividend yield now: 5% for ValueMax, 10% for Maxi-Cash and 65 for MoneyMax. However, the catch is an investor would suffer high capital losses due to “undervalue” or downtrend prices (correcting over 50% since IPO, even continue to underperform after business fundamental is improving). Despite the business fundamental is good, pawnbrokers stocks are not suitable for dividend investing due to inconsistent share prices.

The divergence between business and pawnbroker stocks prices may partly due to uncertain gold prices (which crashed before in the past) and also there are better choices for investment in Singapore bank stocks which are more predictable and “safer”. Lack of confidence and little knowledge in pawnshop business may deter potential investors from supporting their share prices.

So, these 3 pawnbroker stocks may not be suitable for investing due to misalignment between business and stock performance. Even during the bullish period of gold, pawners may choose to redeem the collateral (if containing gold), then pawnbrokers would just gain the interests. The 3 pawnbrokers stocks have many branches with relatively high level of debt over asset (a form of leveraging), therefore this business model is not as safe as bank or even traditional finance stocks.

6) Investment and Other Stocks

The remaining Singapore Banking and Finance stocks are mostly related to investment holding, fund management or other diversified businesses. These are some of the investment holding stocks: Hotung Investment (SGX: BLS), G K Goh (SGX: G41), Global Investment (SGX: B73), TIH (SGX: T55) and IFS Capital (SGX: I49). However, most of these stocks have weaker business fundamental, especially if the investment portfolio of companies may not perform during global stock crisis.

Hotung is an undervalue stock (Price-to-Book ratio, PB = 0.55) with stable profitable business (venture capital). It may be considered mainly for medium term dividend investing (about 7% dividend yield) but growth is limited if holding for long term. The company has no debt but undervalue business behave as those undervalue property stocks, safe but slow.

47 Undervalue SG Property Stocks for Privatization including Perennial (弱肉强食)

Posted on June 13, 2020 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Singapore Undervalue Property Stocks Perennial Privatization

Perennial Real Estate Holdings (SGX: 40S) becomes the next target for privatization. However, not all the acquisition news is good for retail investors. In this article, Dr Tee will share the considerations by Big Boys or major shareholders to acquire or privatize a stock with Perennial as an example, with sharing of Reverse Takeover (RTO) stocks. You will learn the 47 undervalue Singapore property stocks which are profitable with over 50% price discount in asset value.

Interestingly, Perennial started its property business in year 2014 through Reverse Takeover (RTO) of St. James Holdings (entertainment business) which IPO in 2008. RTO is a quick way of “IPO” by acquiring an existing company which could be different business nature. A more famous example would be RTO of Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK) by Warren Buffett in year 1965, transforming an original textile manufacturing company into an insurance company.

There are quite a few property related stocks also get listed indirectly through RTO, eg. Hatten (SGX: PH0) and Centurion (SGX: OU8) / (HKEx: 6090). Therefore, a stock investor has to be careful in analysis of stock prices and business fundamental, viewing the RTO company as new IPO company, especially if the business is totally different with new management. So, the past performance (share prices and businesses) would not be meaningful references after RTO.

Perennial original IPO (under St. James) price was $12.95/share which shareholder would “lose” 95% if compare with price of $0.69/share before the privatization offer of $0.95/share. However, Years 2008-2014 was reflection of St James share prices and businesses. Perennial actual stock record should be from Years 2014-2020, share prices vary from about $1 to about $0.30 during the recent Covid-19 crisis. Perennial is not a giant stock but it is also not a junk stock. The bearish stock prices over the past 6 years are aligned with other Singapore property stocks (quite many are corrected by over 50% in share prices).

However, Perennial is relatively weaker than other Singapore property stocks. Therefore, the recent offer $0.95/share (despite lower than RTO price when Perennial first started in 2014) is considered attractive to investors after RTO. It is getting harder to delist or privatize a company in Singapore, therefore the offer must be significantly higher (38% for this case) to extend the current 82% shareholding to over 90% for mandatory takeover.

Perennial major shareholders include Wilmar (SGX: F34), together with other “big boys”, although 38% premium in offer price seems attractive but this amount (about $277M) will be paid by the new investor, Hopu Fund of China. Perennial has many good quality properties in both Singapore and China, last 1 year has significant cash from investing (sales of property), currently having $120M cash in the company which will be unlocked after privatization. More importantly, the company is undervalue, Price-to-Book (PB) ratio is 0.44 with 56% discount. This implies that the offer to 18% minority shareholders is technically “free” to major shareholders as Net Asset Value (NAV) is $1.58/share. Assuming PB of only 0.75 (25% discount) as market price (if were to sell the properties today), then the value gained from privatization would be $390M, more than enough to cover $277M cash.

Nevertheless, it is unlikely for Perennial to sell properties cheaply after privatization. With both high-quality commercial buildings and promising healthcare services, there is always an option for the company to get listed again (could be in other stock exchange) in future with higher valuation after another IPO or even RTO.

A few years ago, Wheelock Properties (SGX: M35) with over 50% discount in PB was acquired by parent company in Hong Kong, Wheelock Co (HKEx: 20), cash unlocked after acquisition was more than cash offered. Therefore, some cash rich companies have also tried to delist the company but not all the Big Boys are lucky. Previously, Challenger Technologies (SGX: 573) could not pass this barrier due to objection by minority shareholders as the company is fundamentally strong with cash rich. Breadtalk (SGX: CTN) acquisition offer was attractive partly due to severe stock crisis during Covid-10.

=====================================

There are 140 property & construction stocks in Singapore (REITs are excluded, see earlier articles by Dr Tee if interested: www.ein55.com/blog), many are undervalue but also losing money, “Buy Low” may simply get lower in share price.

There are only 47 undervalue (PB < 0.5) Singapore property stocks are profitable in the last 1 year, including Perennial.

From table below, we could see property stocks with PB = $/NAV from 0.13 to 0.5. Despite over 50% discount in share prices over NAV with profitable business, majority of stocks are not giant stocks. An undervalue stock may remain undervalue for a long term, sometimes may be even acquired by Big Boys at low optimism price in a bearish stock market (弱肉强食).

Based on Dr Tee criteria, from the 47 shortlisted Singapore property stocks above, only 8 are giant stocks. A few undervalue property giant stocks were mentioned in earlier articles (see https://www.ein55.com/tag/property-stocks/), eg. GuocoLand (SGX: F17) and Hongkong Land (SGX: H78). However, not all major shareholders are interested of delisting the undervalue property stocks because some are family owned for decades, value of shares may recover to NAV only when they are ready to sell one day. It may be hard for Big Boys or external funds to acquire. For example, Li Ka-shing was hoping to acquire Hongkong Land in 1980s but was rejected with tighter control by parent stock from Jardine Group, Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36) and Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37).

Property stocks (both Singapore and regional stock markets in Malaysia and Hong Kong, etc) are cyclic in nature. Therefore, market cycle investing strategy is required with alignment to Optimism Strategies to Buy Low Sell High, as well as good understanding the local property market cycle. Property stocks is an integration of stock and property markets, knowledge in both markets are required to enhance the chances of success in investing.

Undervalue stocks are bonus for additional safety (huge discount in price below value with high quality asset of property), especially for property stocks but mainly suitable for patient long term investors. A smart investor may integrate undervalue stocks with dividend strategies. This is suitable for passive income investing, similar to property investment, an alternative to REITs but an investor of property stock (non-REIT) could also enjoy the capital gains (or suffer the losses) of property valuations, not just the rental income. For example, many property stocks (including Hongkong Land) are lower in valuation (affecting earnings) in Hong Kong but cash flow is not much affected.

So, reading between the lines for 3 financial reports (Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow statement) are important to fully understand the property stocks, especially property development company has different project cycles which may last a few years, resulting in cyclic property business results and stock prices. So, Level Analysis of Level 1 (individual stock), Level 2 (Property Sector), Level 3 (local country) and Level 4 (world economy and global stock market) are required.

There are hundreds of global property giant stocks (may not need to be undervalue), an investor just needs to select 1 of Top 10 property stocks, adding to a dream team stock portfolio of 10-20 giant stocks (eg. best stock in each sector, min 3 sectors: REIT, Healthcare, F&B, Oil & Gas, Bank, Commodity, Insurance, etc). Value investors may own these 10-20 companies at undervalue price to work for us through shareholding, generating incomes (capital gains of higher share prices and dividend payment) over a lifetime (even beyond own retirement) with yearly review of giant stock status to continue the holding. So, every stock crisis is an opportunity to Buy Low with condition that it must be a giant stock.

There are 30 STI index component stocks including property stocks: CapitaLand, Hongkong Land, City Development and UOL (investor has to focus only on giant stocks for investing):
DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), Hongkong Land (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09), CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

25 MSCI Singapore & 30 STI Stocks (仙人指路)

Posted on May 30, 2020 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

30 STI Index Component Stocks New MSCI Singapore

Both MSCI Singapore Index (SiMSCI, 25 stocks) and Straits Times Index (STI, 30 stocks) are important guidance for Singapore stock investors on “Good” stocks for investing. In this article, you will learn on how to invest in index stocks in a right way. MSCI Singapore Index has recently removed 4 blue chip stocks (which are also 30 STI component stocks) from the list:

1) ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52)

2) SATS (SGX: S58)

3) Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96)

4) Singapore Press Holdings, SPH (SGX: T39)

and adding only 1 stock as replacement: Mapletree Logistics Trust, MLT (SGX: M44U), a giant Singapore REIT, which is also 30 STI component stock.

MSCI Singapore Index component stock selection criteria is stricter than STI index (only based on trading market capitalization, a weaker blue chip stock with high trading volume may still stay) although most of the component stocks of both indices are similar.

Comfortdelgro (taxi business) and SATS (airlines sector) are affected by recent Covid-19 crisis, having good chance to come back again to MSCI Singapore when sector crisis is over, business could recover to support reversal of share prices with higher trading volume.

Sembcorp Industries (utility sector) has weaker business, especially in Oil & Gas sector with subsidiary stock, Sembcorp Marine (SGX: S51) which has losing business due to bearish crude oil market. Similarly, SPH (newspaper/media & property businesses) has declining press business over the past decade, supported mainly by property business (including subsidiary SPH Reit, SGX: SK6U). For both Sembcorp Industries and SPH, they are harder to come back again to MSCI Singapore Index as it would take a long term for overall business to recover again.

These 4 blue chip stocks delisted from MSCI Singapore Index may not be delisted from 30 STI in near future as they still have high trading volume, despite bearish share prices. CapitaCom Trust – CCT (SGX: C61U) will be the next to be delisted from 30 STI when it is merged with CapitaMall Trust – CMT (SGX: C38U) around June 2020. If so, the 5 reserve stocks of STI in waiting list are:

1) Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U)

2) Suntec REIT (SGX: T82U)

3) Keppel REIT (SGX: K71U)

4) Keppel DC REIT (SGX: AJBU)

5) Netlink NBN Trust (SGX: CJLU)

These 5 emerging STI stocks (dividend-based stocks, all are REITs / Business Trust) are selected purely based on trading market capitalization (trading price x trading volume). Therefore, not all are giant REITs (based on Dr Tee giant criteria). Stock investors who follow either 30 STI or 25 MSCI Singapore Index component stocks may not invest in high quality stocks.

Below are the 30 STI component stocks based on the last price traded (29 May 2020), sorted by trading market cap (share price x volume) from low to high (selection criteria for 30 STI is the Top 30 stocks with the highest values).

Despite DairyFarm and ThaiBev have stronger business fundamental than most 30 STI stocks, they have the lowest trading market cap, therefore having higher risk of being delisted in future. The earlier 4 blue chip stocks which are delisted from MSCI Singapore Index are relatively “safe” in 30 STI due to high trading volume, despite weaker business with bearish share prices. From stock investing perspective, it does not make sense at all but this is the rule of the game.

Since trading market capitalization is insufficient, a stock investor should include minimum 3 key Fundamental Criteria for 3 types of stocks: Growth / Dividend / Undervalue:
1) ROE (a criteria for growth stocks, eg. ROE > 5%),
2) Dividend Yield, DY (a criteria for dividend stocks, eg. DY > 5%),
3) Price-to-Book (PB) ratio, Price/NAV (a criteria for undervalue stocks, eg. PB < 1).

In each of the category, additional stock criteria has to be included to ensure they are giant stocks (based on Dr Tee criteria). For example, SPH has 8.6% dividend yield, it does not mean it is a good dividend stock as this high yield is generated with declining dividend and low share prices, driven by weaker business fundamental which is a value trap.

No) Stock (Ticker): ROE (Div Yield %) PB = Price/NAV

For a stock to be listed in 30 STI or even 25 MSCI Singapore Index (to be reviewed quarterly), it implies more support from global investors, especially for institutional investors who view index as key guidance (仙人指路). However, the stock selection criteria based on trading market cap is insufficient, therefore a smart investor should select 10-20 global giant stocks over 3 sectors and 3 countries (eg. Singapore, US, Hong Kong or any country with growing economy), forming own fund (no management fee is needed).

Choice of global stock market is important on type of giant stocks (Defenders / Mid-fielders / Strikers), as well as personality of investor (eg. long term investing or short term trading). Defender stocks aim for dividend collection, Striker stocks are more for quicker return (eg. trading momentum stocks) while Mid-fielder stocks is a well-balance between capital gains and moderate dividends.

1) Singapore stock market is more suitable for dividend stocks (eg. Singapore REITs) but growth is limited with defensive strategy alone. Global stock crisis is a good opportunity to pick up some strong giant dividend stocks with high dividend yield. High dividend yield

2) US stock market is more suitable for growth stocks (investing) or momentum stocks (trading) but minimal dividend to protect investors during correction. An investor may focus on stocks with strong business fundamental as a form of protection. A trader may need to monitor the price trends, following S.E.T. (Stop Loss / Entry / Target Prices) trading plan.

3) Hong Kong stock market has a good mix of dividend and growth stocks but become center of political power fighting between US and China, therefore prices are more volatile which may be suitable for those higher risk tolerance investors and traders.

=====================================

“Sell in May and Go Away” happen again for Singapore (STI Index) and Hong Kong (HSI) Index stock markets for Year 2020. A reason for month of May (Q2) to be bearish could be due to final dividend given in Q2, some investors start to sell after the harvest or the share prices drop after significant dividends are given out, especially when there are news of uncertain financial markets.

Singapore and Hong Kong have many good dividend giant stocks. Price correction after Ex-Dividend is common, especially when combine with this psychological barrier in May. Dividend is just a bonus, more important is Capital Gains for a giant dividend stock.

For US and other global stock markets (eg. Malaysia, Germany, Japan, Taiwan, etc.), mostly have positive gains in May 2020. In fact, US S&P 500 Index is recovering above critical resistance of 3000 points again, an important milestone to support short term trading, especially with Buy High Sell Higher trading strategy. US Nasdaq Index is above 9000 points, challenging the new historical of 10000 points, supported by bullish technology sector of stocks.

5 Cheung Kong Super Hong Kong Stocks (长江一号)

Posted on April 27, 2020 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Cheung Kong Stock CKH CKI CKA Power Assets Fortune Reit HKEx HPH Trust

Sir Li Ka-Shing (李嘉诚) is the richest person in Hong Kong for decades, earning a nickname of “Superman Li” for his reputation in the business world. He was born in 1928 in Chao Zhou (潮州) of China (Dr Tee visited there several years ago, Li Ka-Shing donated a lot of money to his hometown), therefore 92 years old so far. Technically he has retired but mentally never stop working for 1 day, still an advisor to his children and his beloved Cheung Kong Holdings.

Cheung Kong Group is famous initially as a property company, then expanding over the decades, becoming a multinational conglomerate with diversified businesses. CK parent stock is assigned #1 stock ticker in HKEx stock exchange (长江一号), showing its strength as a Hong Kong blue chip giant stock. In Year 2015, there is a major restructuring of Cheung Kong, merging with Hutchison Whampoa, forming a new company Cheung Kong Holdings (registered in Bermuda, could be due to long term planning) with 2 main companies with 2 stocks:

CK Hutchison (CKH) – (HKEx: 1) – For non-property related business

CK Assets (CKA) – (HKEx: 1113) – For proper related business

This way, it is clearer to investors on choices of investment based on these 2 divisions. However, the reorganization has affected the long term analysis of Cheung Kong as there are significant relocation of assets between 2 divisions of companies. Therefore, it is a born of 2 “new” companies with 5 years of history in integrated business reporting but share price of CKH is much longer due to its extension of former parent stock, providing additional references on share prices. It is important for a smart investor to analyze each segment of business for both CK companies before making decision of which stock to invest.

In fact, CK Holdings have at least 11 stocks listed within the group (only 5 highlighted ones are giant stocks):

1) CK Hutchison (CKH) – (HKEx: 1) – CK Parent Giant Stock (Non-property Division)

2) CK Infrastructure (CKI) – (HKEx: 1038) – Utility Parent Giant Stock

3) Power Assets (PA) – (HKEx: 6) – Utility Subsidiary Giant Stock

4) CK Life Sciences – (HKEx: 775) – Biotechnology Stock

5) Tom Group – (HKEx: 2383) – Chinese language media stock

6) HPH Trust – (SGX: P7VU) – Port Trust Stock

7) Husky Energy – (TSE: HSE) – Energy stock listed in Canada

8) CK Assets (CKA) – (HKEx: 1113) – CK Parent Giant Stock (Property Division)

9) Fortune Reit – (HKEx: 778) – CK Giant Reit

10) Hui Xian REIT – (HKEx: 87001) – CK Reit

11) Prosperity REIT – (HKEx: 808) – CK Reit

Out of 10 CK stocks, there are 4 giant stocks included in 50 Hang Seng Index component stocks: CKH, CKA, CKI and PA. So, technically Superman Li could move Hong Kong stock market (about 4%). This is similar to “rival” Jardine Group, could move Singapore Straits Times Index (about 15%) with 5 component stocks. In 1980s, Li Ka-shing was aiming to “invest” more in Hongkong Land of Jardine Group but was defeated by cross-shareholding structure of Jardine (another long story, read Dr Tee earlier article on Jardine Group of 7 giant stocks).

Not all the 10 CK stocks are strong based on Dr Tee giant stock criteria. There is only 1 more giant CK subsidiary stock, Fortune Reit is a giant Reit (formerly dual listing, after delisting from SGX, now only listed in HKEx).

So, additional comments will be given below on these 5 giant CK stocks from different businesses. An investor may select either the parent group (CKH or CKA) if want to consider average of entire group business (non-property vs property) as if a fund, or focusing on smaller individual stock of subsidiaries (CKI, PA, Fortune Reit) on specific business segment.

1) CK Hutchison (CKH) – (HKEx: 1) – CK Parent Giant Stock (Non-property Division)

CK Hutchison has 5 main business segments in non-property division. Investing in CKH stock means investing in all business segments.

1.1) Port

The port businesses are relatively stable in the past but Coronavirus crisis in Year 2020 would affect the results for Year 2020. HPH trust (not a giant stock with limited business potential) is only a small part of CK port business.

1.2) Retail

Major business is Watson for health and beauty (15794 stores with 12 brands worldwide). Business growth in China and Asia are faster than in western world. This is consumer related business, therefore Coronavirus would seriously affect the business for a few quarters. Temasek is also a shareholder for Watson, was planning to sell it.

1.3) Infrastructure / Utilities

This is main passive income generator for CKH. More details later under discussions of subsidiary giant stocks CK Infrastructure and Power Assets.

1.4) Telecommunication

This segment of business is growing in general, having mixed performance in different countries. It is a more defensive business.

1.5) Energy / Investment / Others

Energy segment is making losses while other remaining business is less significant to contributing to entire group.

CKH business (non-property) is not as defensive as CKA (property), therefore over the past 5 years since the group reorganization, share price has been dropping to nearly to 1/3 from peak of $120 to $45. Despite the Price to Book (PB) ratio is 0.5 but the asset is non-property, not as high quality. The main investing advantage for CKH is low optimism level < 25%, aligning to global stock crisis (following economic cycles) but it could suffer in business during Coronavirus crisis due to global lockdown.

Dividend yield of 5.7% is attractive but investors may need to prepare for potential 50% cut as the worst case scenario (despite CKH has good track record of consistent dividend payment) during the winter time of CKH business, implying 3% yield which is still better than holding cash with 1% interest for cash deposit in bank. CKH has significant business in Europe, when economy is restarted, CKH quarterly business performance would improve gradually.

2) CK Infrastructure (CKI) – (HKEx: 1038) – Utility Parent Giant Stock

3) Power Assets (PA) – (HKEx: 6) – Utility Subsidiary Giant Stock

Both CKI and PA stocks may be studied together as CKH owns CKI, then CKI owns PA, all inter-related, just different ways of grouping. So, an investor may decide investing in parent company or subsidiary business specifically in utilities.

CKI has many global businesses of infrastructures and utilities (electricity, water, gas), holding strategic asset of certain countries and cities (eg. main electricity supplier of London). Power Assets invests mainly in electricity, eg. providing partial electricity supply to Hong Kong, duopoly with another giant electricity stock, China Light and Power, CLP (HKEx: 2). Readers may guess if CKH could get HKEx stock ticker #1, CLP could get stock ticker #2, implying it is another blue chip stock with proven history (if there is a chance, we may share further on CLP or other monopoly stocks in future).

Utilities business are defensive as people may not need to shop during Coronavirus pandemic or global financial crisis but they still need basic usages of electricity, water and gas. So, utilities or infrastructure related stocks usually show their strength during economic crisis as defensive stocks which could still pay dividend with steady cash flow generated, then gradual capital gains in longer term with recovery and subsequent growth of economy.

In general, both CKI and PA are having close performance in stocks, prices have dropped by half over the past 5 years (more defensive than parent stock CKH which dropped to nearly 1/3 from the peak price), dividend payment has been stable due to defensive industry, current dividend yield is over 5%. The main “risk” of both stocks is bearish price trend over the past few years (despite at lower optimism level, buy low may still get lower in prices), not so much on business risks (minimal), therefore investors who are reluctant to catch the falling knife in prices, may wait for uptrend in prices, sacrificing passive income (dividend yield) with higher price to exchange for confirmation in price reversal to bullish range.

4) CK Assets (CKA) – (HKEx: 1113) – CK Parent Giant Stock (Property Division)

CK Assets are property-based businesses, listed as a new stock, therefore only having 5 years of share price history so far which are more defensive than CKH (dropping to 1/3), but price is cyclic in nature, dropping to half price. Price to Book (PB) ratio is also coming to a new low of 0.5, having 50% safety margin for high quality asset of property.

However, Hong Kong property market (about 20 years for 1 market cycle) has been at high optimism after the average prices gone up by 4 times over the past 2 decades. Therefore, property stocks in Hong Kong in longer term, may suffer “loss” in valuation due to lower property prices if there are any crisis related to China or Hong Kong property bubble. CKA at current price is 50% discount but “rival” property stock, Hongkong Land has 75% discount with PB around 0.25. So, after relative comparison with peers, CKA 50% discount in price may not be excellent. In fact, there are many other property giant stocks in Hong Kong which are “cheap and good”, readers may learn from Dr Tee to explore more in future.

5) Fortune Reit – (HKEx: 778) – CK Giant Reit

There are 3 REITs listed from CKA parent group: Prosperity Reit and Hui Xian Reit are relatively weaker, so we focus only in Fortune Reit. Previously, Fortune Reit has dual listing in both HKEx and SGX but now only left HKEx. There is little difference to Singapore investors as there is no capital gain tax nor dividend withholding tax for Hong Kong stocks, except HKD/SGD is currently at high optimism (HKD is pegged to USD, similar trend for USD/SGD), future potential forex loss (when USD or HKD is depreciated vs SGD) could be compensated by dividend and capital gains of Hong Kong or US stock.

Fortune Reit drops over 40% in share price over the past 2 months of global stock crisis, resulting in high dividend yield of 7.4% with consistent dividend payout of its REIT portfolio. Risks of Coronavirus is minimized as China / Hong Kong conditions are much better than the rest of the world. Social unrest (eg. Hong Kong protesters last year) is also a lower risk now. The REIT is protected by Price-to-Book (PB) ratio of 0.4, rare for a strong REIT with 60% discount, implying under the worst case scenario, even if the company goes bankrupt, investors could still get back the capital (unlike other investors would suffer permanent loss buying stocks with low quality assets). Usually PB is not a strong criteria for REIT, consistent rental collection from tenants is more important which Fortune Reit has a good track record. The REIT manager is also another familiar name: ARA Asset Management, used to be a giant stock with good reputation in Singapore but delisted several years ago (not surprise as this company is too good to share in long term with the public).

In short, investing in Fortune Reit could receive the protection from sponsor, CK Group, in addition to 60% safety margin in share price to property asset value. REIT (rental payment) could be more predictable than property-based business (eg. parent company CKA) which may suffer when property value declines. For a reit, even property value may decline, rental won’t fall as much, especially if located in strategic places with higher populations.

================================

If you could read until this line, it means that you are a serious investor as Dr Tee has spend half a day to write this article, you only need less than 30 min to read but need a few more days to digest to align the right CK stocks (1 of the 5 giant stocks) to your own personality. Each of the 5 CK giant stocks has its own pros and cons, may not be suitable for everyone. Overall, they all are at low optimism < 25%, implying higher potential for longer term investors. Their main “risks” may not be on business (Coronavirus could affect for Year 2020 but may not for long term), but more on bearish stock price trends since the group reorganization in 2015 till now. Global investors still try to find a sweet spot of balance between price and value for the “new” CK group of stocks.

Cheung Kong has been blue chip stocks for decades in Hong Kong, paying consistent dividend despite bearish stock prices or fluctuation in businesses. The main intangible “asset” of CK Group could be Li Ka-Shing, a trusted icon of CK for decades. Despite Mr Li has retired, he has transferred his business and investment knowledge to his 2 sons, Victor Li (taking over his empire of CK business) and Richard Li (inheriting most of his cash to start own business beyond CK Group). This way, 2 “tigers” won’t be in same jungle (only 1 main decision maker), smart move by a father with far vision to minimize potential family conflicts in the same business.

So, if readers may not have the same wisdom as Li Ka-Shing on investing, we may leverage on him through investing in CK group of giant stocks at lower optimism prices. Li family are unlikely to sell their stocks, therefore they would work day and night for you to grow the business as they are major shareholders (interest is aligned). Better still, readers may contribute no effort except just capital for investment at the right price (ability to press the button when seeing the signal with strategy aligning to own personality), Li family could then work for you for another generation until Victor Li may retire one day as well or passing to the third generation. Of course, you may then sell the stocks for capital gains one day or transfer the stock to your own second generation to keep.

If readers worry Li Ka-Shing may go bankrupt during global financial crisis (he went through at least 9 times over his 92 years of life experience), then smart investor may look for Top 10 richest persons in the world (Li Ka-Shing is only the 30th richest in the world), investing in their best stocks with stronger business than CK Group, forming a portfolio of Top 10 richest person’s giant stocks as a dream team portfolio. Of course, you may not get a good discount in share prices when their businesses are very strong now, therefore stock “crisis” is usually a good opportunity to own some of these giant stocks with growing businesses.

Li Ka-shing stocks are stronger than many 50 Hang Seng HSI index component stocks or 30 STI index component stocks (investor has to focus only on giant stocks for investing):
DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), Hongkong Land (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09), CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

7 Jardine King of Singapore Stocks (狮城股王)

Posted on April 10, 2020 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Jardine Group SGX Jardine Matheson J36 Jardine Strategic Holding J36 Jardine Cycle & Carriage C07 Astra Asii Mandarin Oriental Hotel M04 Hongkong Land H78 Dairy Farm D01 Singapore Stocks Creative Technology C76 Berkshire BRK NYSE Sheng Siong OV8

Jardine Group is not just a company, it is a giant group with nearly 200 years of business history (started in 1832, then controlled by Keswick family for many generations till now). Jardine group of companies cover many industries, eg. engineering, automotive, properties, hotel, supermarkets, etc.

Jardine group has 7 giant stocks (Jardine Matheson, Jardine Strategic, Jardine Cycle & Carriage, Astra, Hongkong Land, Dairy Farm, Mandarin Oriental Hotel), all are falling to very low optimism (mostly with optimism <10%) over the past 2 months of global stock crisis. Since 5 of Jardine giant stocks (except Mandarin Oriental Hotel and Astra International – listed in Indonesia) are 30 STI component stocks (contributing to about 15% weightage), it has the strongest influence to Singapore stock exchange, more than individual stock of 3 major banks (DBS, OCBC, UOB) and Singtel.

There are 30 STI index component stocks including 5 Jardine stocks (investor has to focus only on giant stocks for investing):
DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), Hongkong Land (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09), CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

6 Jardine stocks listed in Singapore Stock Exchange are secondary listing (primary listing in London Stock Exchange) and traded in USD (currently at high optimism vs SGD). USD usually performs better in bear market (safe haven), weaker during bull market, the longer term forex disadvantage of USD/SGD (about -2%/year USD depreciation) could be compensated by higher growth of 10+%/year of Jardine stock prices.

So, let’s learn to position in 7 Jardine stocks, all are giant stocks based on Dr Tee criteria but each Jardine stock has different characteristic, which may be considered for different personality of investors.

1) Jardine Matheson Holding – JMH (SGX: J36)

2) Jardine Strategic Holding – JSH (SGX: J37)

Jardine Matheson Holding, JMH is “King” of Singapore stocks (狮城股王), the highest share price in Singapore stock market history. JMH share price was peak around US$70/share a few months ago, before falling by 30% during Coronavirus crisis to about US$50/share. It is costly to invest even with minimum of 100 shares per lot (price in USD) = $50 x 1.43 (USD/SGD) x 100 = S$7150.

Highest stock price may not be always a giant stock, although most of the time, high stock prices are giant stocks, higher prices due to growing business over the decades. For example, world’s most expensive stock, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK) managed by Warren Buffett, 1 share alone could be US$344,000 (nearly S$500k, could buy a 5-room HDB flat), currently selling at discount of US$290,000 (for details of Berkshire stock, refer to free eBook by Dr Tee on global Top 10 stocks).

The former Singapore stock king was Creative Technology (SGX: C76) with over S$60/share peak stock price recorded in year 2000 dotcom bubble. After the burst of technology bubble, not only stock price in crisis, Creative Technology also lost the giant stock title, company is no longer growing, share prices declining for 20 years till as low as $1/share. Therefore, long term investing requires monitoring of business fundamental, otherwise buy low may get lower over time, suffering huge capital loss. A common mistake for beginner in stock investing is usually buy a famous brand of stock at historical low price or 5-10 years low, assuming the price may recover in future which may not because future business is the key.

Similarly, during Coronavirus crisis, some sectors are badly affected (eg, airlines, F&B, hotel, etc), an investor needs to review whether the business with losses (more than 90% drop in revenue) could last with cash or net asset available. After the crisis is over, could the business recover quickly?

Jardine Strategic Holding, JSH is sibling of JMH, both are owning each other, a special cross-holding structure which could prevent hostile takeover. See another article of this topic: https://www.ein55.com/2017/03/jardine-group-uob-group-cross-holding-stock-network/

Both JMH and JSH stock performance are very close in longer term (eg over 10 years). Investing in either JMH or JSH is as if investing in Jardine fund of stocks with most the Jardine businesses. JMH has average of 1% higher dividend yield than JSH but JSH has average of about 1% higher yearly growth in share price than JMH, so effect is about the same. More details of JMH in earlier article: https://www.ein55.com/2016/04/choose-stocks-grow-30-times-price/

Both JMH and JSH are considered cyclic growth stocks, need to position with optimism less than 25%, best during global stock crisis or global financial crisis. Due to cyclic nature of these 2 stocks with minimal dividend for protection, it is more suitable for investing during recovery phase of stock crisis, avoid buying low get lower. When positioned right at significant low optimism in a severe global stock crisis, JMH and/or JSH may be considered for longer term holding due to high growth but need to monitor its cyclic businesses to certify that they are giant stocks (based on Dr Tee criteria) as this title of giant stock is not forever, eg. Creative Technology lost this title about 20 years ago.

“Buy Low” could only have chance to “Sell High” in longer term with condition that it is a giant stock. If not, “Buy Low” may become “Lower” in prices.

3) Jardine Cycle & Carriage – JCC (SGX: C07)

4) Astra International (IDX: ASii)

Jardine Cycle & Carriage, JCC is only a subsidiary of JSH but itself is already a giant automotive stock (familiar car brands: Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Honda and Kia). JCC also owns Indonesian automotive giant stock, Astra International (listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange).

JMH owns JSH, JSH owns JCC, JCC owns Astra. So, it is as if 4 levels of stock connection but stock performances are close. JMH and JSH could be considered together (either one). Similarly, JCC and Astra may be considered together through JCC (if easier to invest in Singapore stock than Indonesian stock, Astra).

JCC is a dividend growth giant stock (not for Astra), suitable for investing during low optimism stock market, protected by nearly 6% dividend yield (assuming car business drops during crisis, 50% cut in dividend still has about 3% dividend yield left, more than 1% bank interest rate for cash). When crisis is over, likely the growing business will justify for normal distribution of dividend. However, since it is not a REIT (by law needs to distribute 90% taxable income to shareholders as dividend), the company has the right to choose not to give dividend. Over the past 10 years, JCC has record of giving around 3% dividend yield, current high dividend yield of nearly 6% is mainly due to price dropped by about 50% over the past few months of global stock crisis, therefore dividend yield is doubled from 3 to 6%.

If one believes the Coronavirus crisis or any future crisis are unlikely to stop people from buying cars more than 1 year (eg. could not get out of home for 1 year to view the cars in showroom), then crisis in JCC stock prices could be an opportunity. However, for Q1-Q2/2020 with less shoppers due to global lockdown, there could be temporary drop in business which may be justified by 50% discount in share price.

5) Hongkong Land (SGX: H78)

Hongkong Land is a well-known property stock, owning grade-A commercial properties in both Hong Kong central and Singapore marina area. There are quite a few past articles by Dr Tee on Hongkong Land (https://www.ein55.com/tag/hongkong-land/), mainly an undervalue property stock. However, over the past few years, buy low may get lower as Hongkong Land is not only following Jardine group, also affected by Level 2 property sector (Hong Kong / Singapore) and Level 3 stock property, as well as political economy (eg. over 100 days of Hong Kong protesters last year before Coronavirus crisis).

Among all the 7 Jardine giant stocks, Hongkong Land is the “safest” due to property asset selling at over 70% discount (price to book ratio, PB, is less than 0.3). The high dividend yield of 5% (eg from property rental) is a bonus for long term investor of Hongkong Land, providing passive income (even if 5% dividend yield is cut by half for next 12 months, still suitable as defender), no issue even if “crisis” of any form (protester, virus, etc) may last more than 5 years. During Coronavirus crisis, tenants of property could lose money due to less shoppers but landlord (Hongkong Land) still could collect stable rental.

Mid-term risk of Hongkong Land could be high property valuation in Hong Kong may not be sustainable if the average 20 years property cycle of Hong Kong falls from high optimism. So far Coronavirus only affects global stock markets and badly affect business of certain sectors, but not yet on property sector. Even so, long term outlook for Hong Kong and Singapore property sectors are steady gradual growth as a country surrounded by sea with limited land but nearly unlimited future population (both has the top 10 highest population density in the world with growing economy for decades) would support the growing property prices in decades to come.

In short, investing in Hongkong Land stock is an investment in Singapore and Hong Kong countries through as integrated stock and property markets.

6) Mandarin Oriental Hotel (SGX: M04)

Mandarin Oriental Hotel is not only a hotel in Singapore, it has many hotels globally. During Coronavirus crisis, hotel (hospitality sector) is badly affected. So, investor needs to monitor Q1 and Q2/2020 results of Mandarin Oriental Hotel before making decision.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel is a marginal giant stock, the weakest among 7 Jardine stocks. Even before Coronavirus crisis, business fundamental has been declining. Despite 60% discount in hotel asset with PB of 0.4, Mandarin Oriental Hotel is not as valuable as Hongkong Land.

For short term or mid-term cyclic trading strategy, this stock may be considered if there is a strong reversal in price trend, especially when Coronavirus condition may improve but risk is relatively higher than other 6 Jardine stocks.

7) Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01)

Dairy Farm is famous of its supermarket and consumer business (Wellcome, Cold Storage, Seven Eleven, IDEA, etc) in Hong Kong, Singapore and regional countries. During Coronavirus period, supermarket business should perform better (see how crowded when lockdown was announced) as is a consumer staples business, people still need to eat and drink, if they could not go out from home.

However, before Coronavirus crisis, Dairy Farm only has average business performance. It even sells some its seven eleven stores. It has stable dividend payment record, about 4% yield currently, possible to position as midfielder role. Competitor supermarket stock, Sheng Siong (SGX: OV8) performs better than Dairy Farm for business and stock prices. Sheng Siong has recovered the “losses” in stock prices as business is doing too good during Coronavirus period. Sheng Siong is only a young giant stock but does well in the current global stock crisis, having potential to be a true giant stock in future with more proven record.

Therefore, not all sectors are affected by the same crisis. Investor may explore stocks with stable businesses, leveraging on market fear to ask for over 20% discount in those growth stocks. Crisis is Opportunity when stock prices fall due to fear but business is still strong. Crisis is crisis when stock prices fall mainly due to weaker business.

===============================

In summary, all 7 Jardine stocks are giant stocks at low optimism. However, the stock prices have been bearish for a few years, undervalue asset becomes more undervalue each year. Therefore, these Jardine stocks may not possible for traders without strong holding power as buy low may get lower in short term to medium term, unless there is a clear reversal in stock prices to uptrend again.

For long term investors who apply undervalue investing may consider Hongkong Land and Jardine Cycle & carriage stocks which pay over 5% dividend yield (but assume this amount may be cut by 50%). For very conservative investor, Hongkong Land with over 70% discount in asset value (PB < 0.3) is another strong consideration, even if Hongkong Land could not survive the unlikely Great Depression (<5% chance it may happen), investors may not lose the capital due to high safety of margin.

Strategies for investing in Jardine group is similar as other giant stocks at low optimism, multiple entries, eg 1, 3 or 5 “bullets” of capital, first entry at low optimism < 25%, subsequently optional entries could be either downtrend (5-10% lower, average down for investing) counter-trend investing or uptrend (5-10% higher, average high for trading) follow-trend trading if optimism is still less than 25%. It is fine if only 1 “bullet” (1 entry) is triggered (eg. stock market has V-shape recovery), future may follow short term or mid term trading for actions, to be reviewed again.

Sharing above for 7 Jardine stocks are for educational purpose (almost spend 1 day of Dr Tee valuable time writing this long article, hope it is an useful reference for readers). Please make your own decision with independent thinking. If you could read until this sentence, implying you have the determination to learn and apply stock investing.

Temasek Acquires Crisis Stock Keppel Corp (趁虚而入)

Posted on April 3, 2020 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Temasek has offered partial acquisition to Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4) shareholders at the price of $7.35/share up to 51% ownership over 1 year period (with some conditions applied). Since this is not a full acquisition, some investors may be confused of what is fair price for Keppel Corp. Let’s study this acquisition offer in details.

Temasek owns 20.45% of Keppel Corp, intending to purchase shares owned by remaining shareholders (100 – 20.45% = 79.55%) to top up to 51% (still need 51% – 20.45% = 30.55%). So, it is partial acquisition of 30.55/79.55 = 38.4%. It means for every 1000 shares, 384 unit will be acquired.

The offer price of Temasek at $7.35 is about 20% premium over the average price before acquisition, aligned with several other acquisitions in Singapore. However, it only has 38.4% power, not the same as 100% power as other full acquisition (eg. Breadtalk current acquisition offer of $0.77, price would surge near to this price overnight after the announcement). Assuming the Keppel Corp share price is $5/share (on certain day), the theoretical share price after 38.4% partial acquisition = $5 + (7.35 – $5) x 0.384 = $5.90/share. Reader may replace this equation of $5 share price with any latest share price of Keppel Corp before acquisition.

Over the past 1 month of global stock crisis, Singapore stocks fall by about 30% in average but Keppel Corp only falls about 20%, aligning with 38.4% potential acquisition by Temasek which is about 1/3, therefore the stock corrections is also reduced by about 1/3 from 30% to 20%.

It means the global stock crisis still has about 60% impact on Keppel Corp prices. Therefore, an investor has to make decision mainly based on global stock crisis and current stock market condition with Keppel Corp value, not to assume price would recover to $7.35/share price eventually.

==========================

Keppel Corp is a diversified corporation with 4 businesses: offshore &marine, property, infrastructure and investment. The 2 main pillars are Property (Keppel Land, contributing to about 50% company profits) and Oil & Gas (Keppel O&M, main source of losses over the past few years). Over the past 5 years after the oil price fell from $100 to $27/barrel, Keppel Corp suffers directly as main clients reduce the capital expenditure (eg. oil rigs), therefore Oil & Gas becomes a losing segment.

Since 2015 crude oil crisis, Keppel Corp has temporary lost the giant stock title, currently a marginal giant (likely will become giant stock again after oil & gas sector recovery). Luckily Keppel Corp still has 50% earnings from Property (eg. Keppel Land and Keppel Reit), even Oil & Gas is a loss for several years (recovering to small profits in last 1 year), the entire company as a whole could still make a profit. Compared with competitor or sibling, Sembcorp Marine (SGX: S51, also owned by Temasek through Sembcorp Industries) which has full risk exposure to oil & gas crisis, losing money for several years, resulting in share prices falling from $5 to $0.70 (last 17 years low).

Some may think it is “cheaper” to invest in Sembcorp Marine stock (85% correction) compared to Keppel Corp stock ($13 falling to $5/share during oil & gas crisis, about 60% correction). This comparison is only valid if both companies are giant stocks (which are not) because “crisis is not opportunity” if business fundamental is weak, eg for the case of Sembcorp Marine. For Keppel Corp, it is still a 50% giant stock due to strong property business. Therefore, investor of Keppel Corp is actually investing in value of Keppel Corp property (main value) while taking advantage of falling share price (due to Oil & Gas crisis). It was a good move in year 2015 (beginning of oil & gas crisis) for Keppel Corp to offer full acquisition of Keppel Land which 100% profits of property business goes to Keppel Corp, offset the losses in Oil & Gas segment in Keppel O&M.

Assuming Temasek could successfully own 51% of Keppel Corp by end of 2020, it is a full control of company. This may allow possibilities of strategic merging of Temasek subsidiaries companies (eg. Keppel O&M and Sembcorp Marine) or restructuring of Temasek companies, eg. Keppel Corp and Sembcorp Industries (Temasek nearly has 50% control), etc, to maximize the asset values.

===================

During crude oil crisis with Keppel Corp at low optimism prices, Temasek leverages on crisis to have majority control of Keppel Corp at reasonable low price of $7.35/share. This also provides an option for Keppel Corp investors to sell for 20% profit. However, the global stock crisis has disturbed the plans as prices of Keppel Corp are falling even lower than before acquisition news.

Analysis on Keppel Corp is beyond stock and Temasek, also requires understanding of property market and crude oil commodity market. So, it is a stock with complicated interactions of market signals, reflecting in final share prices.

Here is a special Ein55 style, 50% Discount Method for investing in Keppel Corp during crisis (with or without Temasek acquisition) with multiple entries to fight against unknown market crisis ahead. Assuming $10 is a common high level prices (occurred during when economy and crude oil market are bullish), an investor may apply 50% discount in prices each time before each multiple low due several unforeseen market crisis.

$10 = High Level Price (potential future selling price level)

$5 = Crude Oil & Stock Crisis (3 times in 2009, 2016, 2020) after 50% discount x $10

$2.50 = Global Financial Crisis (17 years low) after another 50% discount x $5

$1.25 = Great Depression (20 years low) after another 50% discount x $2.50

This is a non-linear version of multiple entries for very conservative investor who hopes to buy low but afraid of prices could get lower. Assuming all the crisis come (hopefully not), this is average price after 3 entries (like Keppel Corp with property pillar could still survive):

($5 + $2.50 + $1.25) / 3 = $2.92

This is lower than using linear average down method at low optimism (assuming 3 entries with $1 lower each time):

($5 + $4 + $3) / 3 = $4

Each method (linear or non-linear 50% discount) has its benefits. Linear method is more likely to achieve in practical market, for those who wish to reduce downside risk through averaging (eg. 3 times x 33% capital). Non-linear method is for very conservative investor, demanding 50% discount each time before willing to take out precious cash from the pocket for investment. During the long holding period (could be 1-3 years, depending on severity of crisis), Keppel Corp investor may be given an average of 4-5% dividend yield (past 10+ years record), assuming the dividend is also cut by 50% due to crisis, one could still get about 2% dividend yield which is higher than fixed deposit in banks with 1% interest rate. After the crisis is over, assuming the average entry price is only $5 (only 1 crisis experienced), an investor may not need to sell at $10 average high prices for 100%, could even sell near to Temasek fair acquisition price of $7.35 which is over 40% higher than $5 price.

=======================================

Charlie Munger (partner of Warren Buffett) said the big money is not in the buying and selling, but in the waiting. Global stock crisis may happen only every 5 to 10 years. Similar to a lion ambushed, waiting patiently for target, when opportunity comes near, only then strike for higher chance of winning. It is the same for current global stock crisis, for investors “ambushed” for many years, it could be the right time to plan for a strategy to take action in stocks.

Frankly speaking, there are over 100 global giant property stocks and 44 global oil & gas giant stocks (based on Dr Tee criteria), which are much stronger than Keppel Corp. Some of these giant stocks are also falling in prices 20% – 50% recently, “Crisis is Opportunity” investing in these growing business (value) with significant discount in prices.

There are at least 26 Temasek / GLC stocks in Singapore including Keppel Corp, controlling shareholder with 15% or more ownership directly or indirectly (investor needs to focus only on giant Temasek stocks):
Singtel (SGX: Z74), DBS Bank (SGX: D05), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), SIA Engineering (SGX: S59), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), SATS (SGX: S58), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), Sembcorp Marine (SGX: S51), Olam (SGX: O32), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Ascott Hospitality Trust (SGX: HMN), Ascendas Hospitality Trust (SGX: Q1P), CapitaLand Retail China Trust (SGX: AU8U), Ascendas-iTrust (SGX: CY6U), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Keppel Reit (SGX: K71U), Keppel DC Reit (SGX: AJBU), Keppel Infrastructure Trust (SGX: A7RU), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), Mapletree NAC Trust (SGX: RW0U).

Temasek stocks portfolio also affect about 15% of STI index stocks, which has strong impact on Singapore stock market. Here are 30 STI component stocks:
DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), HongkongLand (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09), CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

3M of Stock Investment Plan (Hongkong Land)

Posted on March 16, 2020 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Some investors may think Hongkong Land (SGX: H78) or any giant stock at 0% optimism is a no-brainer stock investment, simply buy now (Price-to-Book, PB ratio of 0.26 with 74% discount in price for high quality property asset) and hold long term for crisis to be over with price recovery, sure will make money with capital gains.

Above is half understanding based on pure “Method”. There are 3M to consider:

3M Investment = Method x Mind X Money Management.

Whenever any 1 of the 3M is weak or zero, entire investment plan would fail due to multiplication effect.

Let me extend the earlier sentence from 1M to 3M:

Hongkong Land is a good buy now at current price, if one is prepared to hold long term with contrarian strategy (including diversification over a portfolio of 10 global giant stocks) which is comfortable with one’s personality (eg. the person will not check share price daily, will not be sleepless each night when seeing Hongkong Land stock price may fall by another 50% in next 6-12 months). If the person is willing to lock the Hongkong Land stock share in a drawer for at least 5 years (only check the price and business fundamental quarterly), then probably near to the rare quality of 5% group of contrarian investors. The person would be similar to Warren Buffett mindset, able to take the finger pointing by others (eg. “you are wrong, should not buy, now is a bad market, etc”).

Let’s do a simulation of application of only 1M (Method). After buying Hongkong Land (assuming the same low price now with PB ratio = 0.26), assuming Coronavirus could be out of control in US & Europe in next few months, many death reported, global stock markets drop from current mid optimism to low optimism, Hongkong Land may fall down another 25% in price. If global financial crisis is induced due to weaker economy over 6-12 months, then Hongkong Land could fall down another 25%, perhaps the PB could be 0.26/2 = 0.13 then (more discount given).

If the person is very comfortable with falling in share prices (treat is as different degree of discount, no need to buy at the most discount with the lowest price) as main concern is to ensure asset value with business won’t be affected in long term. If there is a global financial crisis, it is possible for Hong Kong property valuation to drop 20%, especially Hong Kong property market is at relatively higher price or optimism level over the past 20+ years but it usually won’t last long in this way), then it is a good buy for this person, especially if the position of Hongkong Land stock is no more than 10% of entire portfolio.

Some investors may think if one follows exactly as the Method required (either long term investing or short term trading), then there is no harm to follow. However, once the person make an surprised loss (Mind Control is affected), especially over trade or invest in only 1 stock (poor Money Management).

In short, when finding a Method for stock investment, learn and choose a strategy aligned with own personality (many factors to consider), not just because it is a “sure win” Method. Due to mismatch of personality, this is why traders mindset may fail in investing, while investor mindset may fail in trading. There is also 5% of rare group which could invest and trade, having “dual” personalities, able to make money in both short term trading and long term investing. For majority of the people, there is no need to be greedy to earn all the money in the market, just focus on 1 way comfortable with oneself, be the master with years of practice with stock market experience as the teacher.

There are 30 STI index component stocks including Hongkong Land (investor has to focus only on giant stocks for investing):
DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), Hongkong Land (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09), CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

There is no get-rich-quick or sure-win investment or trading method. Each “Method” requires own experience with own “Money” through own “Mind” to convert into a skill which is repeated. Some may take more time, some may be faster to achieve this goal. The current stock market crisis could be a pain to many people but will be helpful in reshaping one’s strategy (经一事、长一智).

Apply probability investing in planning of stock investment or trading. High probability does not mean 100%, even cash deposit in bank is not 100% safe. A weak bank could go bankrupt, $1 Million deposit could only get $75k compensation. Risk tolerance level is also one of the “PA” (Personal Analysis).

For students before joining 6-day Ein55 course (www.ein55.com/course), they would do this homework (a series of psychological tests) to know their unique personality better, before aligning with the strategies later.

Stock investment is not as easy as it sounds but when one aligns with own personality, it would become a positive habit, as easy as breathing or drinking water.
