Blue Chip Stocks Focus at now

Investors often turn to blue-chip stocks for the earnings stability and solid annual dividends. However, not all blue-chip companies offer the same dividend prospects. An effective investment method would be to buy consistently and making use of dollar cost averaging to avoid over-exposure to stocks at high price levels. Over the long investment horizon of 10 years or more, consistent investments could bring the biggest yield to one’s investments portfolio.

**Banks**

DBS Bank, Singapore’s largest bank by assets has seen strong price performance gains during the year. Its dividend yield is currently hovering at slightly less than 3%, making it less attractive in terms of dividends returns. OCBC Bank, another local banking giant edged out DBS in terms of dividend yield at 3.17%. UOB Bank has the lowest among the big 3 banks in Singapore, offering only 2.87% annual indicative dividend yield based on last declared dividends and current closing prices as at 6 October 2017. Strong earnings growth were chalked up by the 3 banks, with DBS recording 8% net profit growth as at 2Q 2017, OCBC recording 22% jump while UOB notching 5.5% net profit gains as at 2Q 2017. Prices of these blue chip stocks have risen strongly during the year and depressed dividend yield. Investors should not be looking to pile heavily into these banking stocks when yield is depressed. U.S. is on track to raise interest rates in 2018 and interest rate hike will have negative price consequences which will pull down high yield stocks.

**Telcos**

Singapore Telecommunications, also commonly known as Singtel, being the largest telecommunications company in Singapore is also a great dividend yielding stock. There is intense competition among the telco space in Singapore with Singapore regulator announcing the potential entry of a fourth telco operator. Headwinds have plagued the industry in general. One saving grace would be Singtel has managed to secure the 700MHz spectrum band which could be beneficial to its bottom line since analyst has projected huge capex savings from its winning bid for the spectrum. Netlink Trust IPO which was completed recently during the year could boost potential one-time special dividend payout. It is currently offering a decent 4.76% dividend yield. A close competitor to Singtel, Starhub price performance has been lackluster during the year. Investors may accumulate its shares as it is currently offering a pretty high dividend yield of 6.8% per annum. M1 had suffered the similar fate from lackluster mobile growth and is currently priced at 6.2% annual dividend yield. The sustainability of the dividends is very much dependent on future free cash flows available for distribution and investors should not rush straight into buying the stock due to its current dividend yields from historical earnings and cash reserves.

**SGX**

Singapore Exchange Limited, the sole stock exchange operator in Singapore is a listed entity itself. Its full front focus in developing its derivatives trading business and diversifying away from pure stock trading has started to pay dividends which contributed strongly to its bottom line. 3-year CAGR earnings growth stood at 3%, partly fueled by the increasing trading volume for its China-based futures derivatives products. Singapore Exchange is essentially a monopoly and solid proxy to the vibrant Singapore financial hub. Earnings are expected to be stable, barring extreme investors and fund withdrawals. Singapore government’s push towards enhancing Singapore’s global wealth management status will trickle down and benefit Singapore Exchange as a key player. The dividend yield of SGX stood at 3.67%, and investors could consider allocating a proportion of investable funds into the growing monopoly.

**Wilmar**

Commodity price plunge as a result of China slowdown in late 2015 has put Wilmar International in a difficult financial position. However, Wilmar has weathered the storm well, posting a net profit of USD60 million as compared to a net loss of USD220 million in the preceding year. The Board has decided to raise the dividend rate as well for the commendable first half performance. The dividend yield is at a low end of 2% per annum but a recovery in earnings may see the Board rewarding investors with higher dividends as a result from stronger cash flows from its core palm oil cultivation business.

**ThaiBev**

Thai Beverage Public Co., Ltd., the maker of Thailand’s top beer beverage Chang beer brand portfolio, has been a solid dividend paying stock for years. Despite being the fourth largest producer in terms of global sales volume, its share price is valued at a significant discount to global peers. Its P/E is currently at around 16 times historical earnings and is considered low by taking into account the stable earnings base from its alcoholic beverage segment. Beverage companies are well known for their solid dividend yield and ability to maintain its payout even at recessionary economic conditions. It is currently offering a sweet dividend yield of approximately 3.55% which should provide investors a steady stream of dividend income for the coming years.

Singapore Stocks CapitaLand Commercial Trust analysis

Singapore Stocks CapitaLand Commercial Trust (CCT) is securing Asia Square Tower 2 in Marina Bay from US private value mammoth BlackRock for $2.09 billion, or $2,689 psf.

CapitaLand Commercial Trust (CCT) is securing Asia Square Tower 2 in Marina Bay from US private value mammoth BlackRock for $2.09 billion, or $2,689 psf.

This is what financier and research houses are stating a day after the declaration.

Macquarie Research says CCT stays one of its best picks in the S-REIT part, keeping up a “beat” with an objective cost of $1.85.

With the offer of Wilkie Edge and a half stake in One George Street prior this year, the Asia Square 2 securing will enhance the nature of CCT’s portfolio, says Macquarie.

This is in accordance with its all around enunciated portfolio reconstitution technique.

“As Grade A rents have bottomed out, with no new supply until the point that 2021, there is space to upgrade the passage yield of 3.6%, in our view,” says lead financial Advisor Tuck Yin Soong.

Maybank Kim Eng is keeping up a “BUY” and $1.81 target cost.

Stock market analysis by Derrick Heng sees the arrangement emphatically the objective is a fantastic resource which is sold at a rebate to the valuations of practically identical properties and the substitution cost of another office working in the region.

Post-obtaining total use likewise stays agreeable at 37.1%, up from 36%.

Goldman Sachs is keeping up a “purchase” rating on the stock with an unaltered year DCF-based target cost of $1.96.

In spite of the fact that its estimate does exclude the pending arrangement, lead investigator Paul Lian says the proposed securing supports CCT’s attention on esteem creation through portfolio reconstitution and gives CCT an a dependable balance in Marina Bay, a key office sub-showcase.

Deutsche Bank has a “hold” on CCT with an ex-rights target cost at $1.75.

“While we see CCT now being the best intermediary for the workplace division post exchange, the evaluated direct development is not sufficiently appealing in our view for a repeating part,” says lead examiner Joy Wang.

Despite the fact that the 3.6% starting yield on an 88.5% involved Grade A benefit is a tolerable estimating, Wang says the potential increase in inhabitance could generally be balanced by the negative rental inversion given the less bullish view on the Singapore office segment.

RHB is looking after its “take benefit” rating on CCT with a modified ex-rights target cost of $1.60.

In spite of the fact that the obtaining comes at a decent time when office supply is decreasing and rentals bottoming out, the exchange is dilutive to RHB’s FY18 DPU and yield.

“Counting leases that will just begin in March, the property has a conferred inhabitance rate of 88.7%. This is beneath CCT’s portfolio inhabitance rate of 97.6%,” says Financial expert Vijay Natarajan.

As at 11.45am, units of CCT are exchanging 2 pennies bring down at $1.68.

SGX Shares Movements: GSS ENERGY IS POTENTIALLY BULLISH

Since my write-up on GSS Energy (“GSS”) dated 18 August 2017 (see HERE), GSS’ share price has jumped 12 percent from $0.137 on 18 August 2017 to close at $0.152 on 13 September 2017. Based on my personal chart observation, it seems likely to be in the midst of forming a potential bullish inverse head and shoulder formation.

Chart outlook

GSS has reclaimed its 200D exponential moving averages (“EMA”) within three trading days after breaching. It has subsequently moved back to its lower trading range of around $0.152. Based on Chart 1 below, there are certain noteworthy points.

a) Potential Inverse Head And Shoulder Formation

GSS seems to be forming a potential bullish inverse head and shoulder formation. For the potential inverse head and shoulder formation to be formed, GSS has to breach the resistance area cum neckline of around $0.154 to $0.157 with volume expansion and on a sustained basis. A confirmed break above $0.157 points to an eventual measured technical target price of around $0.186. This represents potential and may, or may not be reached.

b) Indicators are strengthening

Despite the recent plunge from 20 July 2017 to 18 August 2017, 200D EMA was not greatly affected and continued its steady ascent. 20D EMA has also reversed trend and started to climb. Other indicators such as MFI, MACD, OBV and RSI have started to strengthen too. These bode well for the chart.

Near term supports: $0.151 / 0.148 / 0.145

Near term resistances: $0.154 – 0.157 / 0.161 / 0.165

Read once the HIDDEN GEMS IN INDUSTRIAL STOCKS

The Hang Seng Index broke above 28,000 points once more, but it almost closed flat at the end of Tuesday (12 Sep).

Cheung Kong Property Holdings Ltd (1113.HK), Henderson Land Development Co Ltd (012.HK), Sun Hung Kai Properties Ltd (016.HK), and New World Development Co Ltd (017.HK) all faced arbitrage selling pressures.

But the good thing was that post arbitrage stock prices were still much higher than their levels before the sharp rise last Thursday.

Perhaps, this shows that the plan to build houses exclusively for Hong Kong first-time buyers at subsidized rates is still beneficial to the four above mentioned real estate developers, which also own farmlands.

I think these four stocks should see another round of speculation before Chief Executive Lam Cheng Yuet-Ngor’s policy address next month.

Hidden gems in industrial sector

I bought the shares of both Kingboard Chemical Holdings Ltd (148.HK) and Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd (293.HK) when the former bought many the latter’s shares.

Till this date, the share price of Cathay Pacific Airways has only increased slightly, while the share price of Kingboard Chemical has risen repeatedly at incredible magnitudes.

I thought it was an unexpected profit for me. Only after Kingboard Chemical’s results announcement did I realize that the “unexpectedness” was due to the fact that I haven’t been paying much attention to industrial stocks.

I had paid little attention to industrial stocks because I know quite a few Hong Kong industrialists who always say that factories don’t make money. Even if they do, it’s hard-earned money with blood, sweat, and tears.

Nowadays, in order for a factory to be profitable, there are high requirements for technology and invested capital. Indeed, Kingboard is ahead of its peers in terms of technology, and this forms the reason for its profitability.

Other companies, such as Sunny Optical Technology (Group) Co. Ltd (2382.HK) and Aac Technologies Holdings Inc (2018.HK) should be classified under industrial stocks as well.

However, the stock market currently classifies these two stocks under technology stocks, which explains the very high valuation.

For a long time in the past, people in Hong Kong had believed that high tech loses money while low tech makes money. But that’s because of the so-called “high tech” back then was actually still low-level technology.

Real high tech these days make big money, and in a monopolistic manner. Thus, investors should take note of industrial stocks with high-value technology.

Yuexiu Property stands to rise?

Many private-owned mainland property stocks registered good trends over the past year and reached a historical high.

Among which, Yuexiu Property Co Ltd (123.HK) is the slowest to start out and the slowest to turn losses into gains as well.

Considering that it is still quite a distance away from its peak during the 2015 rally, this distance could be a target for catching up in future.

SGX Shares GSS Energy update of the Day

Since my review on GSS Energy ("GSS") dated 18 Aug 2017, GSS' share cost has bounced 12% from $0.137 on 18 Aug 2017 to close at $0.152 on 13 Sep 2017. In light of my own diagram perception, it appears to probably be amidst framing a potential bullish backward head and shoulder arrangement. 

Graph standpoint 

GSS has recovered its 200D exponential moving midpoints ("EMA") inside three exchanging days in the wake of rupturing. It has in this way moved back to its lower exchanging scope of around $0.152. In view of Chart 1 underneath, there are sure critical focuses. 

a) Potential opposite head and shoulder arrangement 

GSS is by all accounts shaping a potential bullish backwards head and shoulder arrangement. For the potential converse head and shoulder arrangement to be shaped, GSS needs to rupture the resistance range cum neck area of around $0.154 – 0.157 with volume extension and on a managed premise. An affirmed break above $0.157 focuses to 

an inevitable measured specialized target cost of around $0.186. Thir speaks to potential and may, or may not be come to. 

b) Indicators are fortifying 

Regardless of the current dive from 20 Jul 2017 to 18 Aug 2017, 200D EMA was not extraordinarily influenced and proceeded with its relentless climb. 20D EMA has additionally switched pattern and began to climb. Different pointers, for example, MFI, MACD, OBV and RSI have begun to reinforce as well. These look good for the diagram. 

Close term bolsters: $0.151/0.148/0.145 

Close term resistances: $0.154 – 0.157/0.161/0.165

Is this top Financial Crisis over 10 Years?

It is hard to believe but it is 10 years since the start of the global financial crisis. Triggered by a collapse in the US housing market it caused the deepest recession in living memory and the near-collapse of the financial system.

Banks failed, government institutions were bailed out, stock markets crashed and countries had to be propped up financially.

We are still feeling the effects: low growth, political upheaval, Brexit and even the election of Trump can all be traced back to the crisis.

It all started with the US subprime mortgage market, the corner of the industry that lent to borrowers with poor credit histories, often with little means to meet repayments.

These subprime mortgages were then carved up and repackaged along with traditional mortgages and sold to investors. Convinced that the risk had been spread, what could go wrong?

In the short term, it worked, helping maintain a house price boom. In the long-term, it didn’t. A rise in the number of borrowers defaulting was the start.

The housing market began to fall and those mortgage investments which had been repackaged became toxic.

Worst of all, no one knew who held the bad debts. Banks, therefore, became wary about of lending to each other. The world stood on the brink.

A seminal day at the start of the crisis was 9 August 2007, when the danger of systemic risk became apparent. French bank BNP Paribas suspended three funds exposed to the US mortgage market. It blamed a “complete evaporation of liquidity”.

Here we briefly re-live the main events, look at what has happened in markets since and what it means for Share investors.... Read more
