1QFY15 earnings were inline; led by derivatives
Base dividend of 4 Scts declared as expected
Challenging outlook; earnings cut by 11-15%
over FY15-16F
Maintain HOLD; TP trimmed to S$6.95
down by 14% q-o-q, 27% y-o-y, SGX’s securities market
revenues continued to slide, mainly due to low volatility. It
was observed that trades for stocks priced below S$5
suffered a decline y-o-y, while there was a slight increase in
the trading activity of stocks priced above S$5. Derivatives
revenues continued to soar, with a total traded volume of
29m contracts, mainly from the China-related contracts
(China A50 futures and Iron Ore derivatives). Other revenues
were lower q-o-q from depository services due to fewer
contracts processed, in line with lower securities market
activities. This was offset by higher issuer fees, while market
data and connectivity was flat.
Earnings cut by 11-15% over FY15-16F; introducing
FY17F forecasts. We cut our earnings forecasts by 11-15%
over FY15-16F to account for a persistently challenging
outlook, particularly in the securities market. Our FY15F
SDAV forecast is trimmed by 10% to S$1.16bn, with
derivatives revenues remaining largely intact. As
2QFY15/4QCY15 is typically a seasonally slower quarter,
expect a weak quarter ahead.
Implementation of initiatives to be phased over 24
months. Initiatives proposed by SGX in a consultative paper
issued in Feb 14 on (1) minimum trading price, (2) collateral
requirement for securities trading, (3) short position
reporting requirements, (4) transparency of trading
restrictions, and (5) reinforcing the SGX listings and
enforcement framework, will be implemented over the next
24 months. The reduction of board lots to 100 (from 1,000)
will start from Jan 15, while the minimum price of S$0.20
for a stock will be implemented in Mar 15 (companies will
be given a period of three years to adjust to this).
Maintain HOLD, TP trimmed to S$6.95. After imputing
our earnings downgrade into the DDM model, our TP is
trimmed to S$6.95 (from S$7.05) which implies 22x CY15F
EPS, just a tad above its 2007-14 mean PE. Downside to the
stock price should be limited, supported by dividend yields of
4-5% based on a 90% dividend payout assumption.
