Singapore Exchange
June 6 close: S$8.00
UBS Investment Research, June 6


A KEY play on ageing Asia: The United Nations has identified the top three socio-economic issues facing the world in the 21st century. They are global warming, global terrorism and global ageing. We note that Asia has four of the 10 fastest ageing countries globally.

In our Q-Series®: Asia Structural Themes: Ageing Asia report published on June 6, Singapore Exchange (SGX) is highlighted as one of 17 key exposures to Asia's changing demographics.

SGX - one of 17 UBS Asian demographics key picks: Changes in Asia demographics will impact countries' long-term economic growth, governments' willingness to privatise assets and the demand for listed instruments. While growth of stock exchanges is typically tied to domestic markets, SGX's structural growth comes from Singapore emerging as the exchange of choice for many Asian and transnational companies' initial public offerings.

We remain upbeat on SGX despite current market sentiment: We believe the current share price assumes no growth over the next four years, which we think is too bearish as the investment environment in Singapore and Asia appears promising in the medium term, given favourable economic and demographic trends.

Changes in market sentiment, Qualified Domestic Institutional Investor fund inflows and an increase in algorithmic trading are potential catalysts.

We reiterate our 'buy' rating and 12-month DCF-based price target of S$13.00.

Airlines start exiting routes to cut losses

Qantas cuts capacity on Asian routes; SIA studies its options

By VEN SREENIVASAN



...............

Singapore Airlines (SIA) said it has been doing regular six-monthly capacity reviews, but added that the high fuel cost environment had made the exercise even more critical.

'Singapore Airlines is not immune to the threat posed by high jet fuel prices,' said spokesman Stephen Forshaw. 'It highlights the need to continue our focus on cost discipline, and being nimble in managing capacity. Going forward, we will manage capacity deployment carefully, but also seek to ensure we can meet areas of demand which are still present in our markets.'

The airline recently pulled out of its lossmaking Taipei-Los Angeles and Bangkok-Osaka routes, but added capacity to China, India, Vietnam, Australia, Zurich, Paris, London and Moscow. It also plans to replace its ageing B747-400s with more fuel-efficient A380s and B787s.

But did SIA miscalculate in introducing its all-business class non- stop services to New York and Los Angeles at a time when the inevitable spike in ticket prices could further impact travel demand?

'The loads in the first couple of weeks on the all-business class A340-500 services to New York and back have been very impressive,' Mr Forshaw said. 'Most flights have had loads close to full since they started operating.'

But he added that SIA was not taking the softening economy in the US lightly, and was monitoring the situation carefully.

A record 24 airlines have collapsed worldwide in the last six months, including European all-business class carriers Silverjet and EOS and Hong Kong-based Oasis.

ABIDJAN, June 3 (Reuters) - Singapore's Olam International Ltd (OLAM.SI: Quote, Profile, Research) has bought a major stake in Ivory Coast's cotton sector by purchasing the assets of bankrupt cotton producer La Compagnie Cotonniere Ivoirienne (LCCI).

The Ivorian state sold the LCCI assets to Olam for just over 8 billion CFA francs ($19.02 million), according to an official legal notice published this week in the government daily Fraternite Matin.

The West African country's cotton sector is struggling to get back on its feet after a 2002/2003 civil war in which the country's northern half, where cotton is grown, was seized by rebels. A national reunification process agreed in a March 2007 peace deal has set presidential elections for Nov. 30.

The assets acquired by Olam consist of around 100,000 hectares of cotton fields, cultivated by around 50,000 growers, and four ginning plants located in the north of Ivory Coast, according to cotton sector officials.

Cost of air travel set to soar as industry bleeds

THE era of cheap airfares is over and consumers must adjust to the realities of higher airline operating costs.

'Consumers have to get used to higher airfares, just as they are getting used to higher commodity prices,' said Steve Udvar-Hazy, chairman and CEO of ILFC, the world's largest lessor of airplanes

Iata says global airline losses possible in 2008


ISTANBUL - The International Air Transport Association (Iata) said on Monday a significant decline in global airline profitability, or even losses, look inevitable for 2008.

Iata said the combination of high fuel prices, a US recession, and accelerated deliveries of aircraft ordered at the peak of the economic cycle but delivered during a slowdown meant the outlook for 2008 was 'clouded by the perfect storm'.

'Adding to the downward pressures on revenue growth from the US recession will be the acceleration in aircraft deliveries in 2008 and 2009,' Iata said in its annual report presented at a news conference in Istanbul where it is holding its annual meeting.

Iata chief executive Giovanni Bisignani forecast industry losses of US$2.3 billion in 2008 if the average price of a barrel of Brent oil remained at US$107 for the rest of the year.

He also said in a prepared speech that if oil prices remained at US$135 a barrel for the rest of the year airline industry losses would be US$6.1 billion.

Mr Bisignani said traffic growth in the industry would at best be 3.9 per cent this year, down from growth of 5.9 per cent in 2007.

Oil prices hit an all-time high of US$135.09 a barrel on May 22. Prices have roughly doubled in the past year.

The association said increased liberalisation in the industry would also intensify competition and squeeze profitability.

Iata represents 240 airlines operating 94 per cent of all international passenger and cargo flights. -- REUTERS

DBS VICKERS, June 3


WE attended a briefing yesterday by Chew Hua Seng on the announced joint venture by Raffles Education Corporation (REC) with Educomp in India and China. Investment amount will total US$100 million in India and US$50 million in China over the next two to three years. The JVs will be focusing on tertiary education in India and K-12 education in China. We see the JV as positive as the potential of the education market for both REC and Educomp is huge given the population in India and China.

We

 
  • rolled over our discounted cash-flow (DCF) valuations to FY09F;
  • assume a higher weighted average cost of capital (WACC) as a result of higher beta currently at around 1.1 (from 1x previously);
  • higher level of gearing (net gearing of 38 per cent as at FY09 ending June); and
  • the slight dilution arising from the issue of new shares (for Hartford Education Corporation exit offer).

     

    Consequently, our TP is adjusted slightly to $1.64 (previously $1.70), on DCF with a WACC of 9.2 per cent (from 8.6 per cent), terminal growth of 3 per cent. Maintain 'buy'.

    Q: What is the update with the KPPU and the court decision in Indonesia regarding SingTel and Temasek?

    A: SingTel does not agree with the KPPU decision and has appealed the decision to the Indonesian Supreme Court. It is unclear how long it will take for the court to make a decision—it could take from two months to two years for the Supreme Court to make a final judgment in this matter.
