SINGAPORE - Brokers lift target price for SPH Publishing and property firm Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) reported on Friday an 11.6 percent rise in its second quarter net profit, which was in line with expectations and two brokers raised their target prices for the company.

CIMB Research has increased its target price for SPH to S$4.13 from S$3.90 and kept its neutral rating, citing higher property values and to reflect the acquisition of a land site in northeast of Singapore.

SPH, which has a near monopoly of newspaper publishing in Singapore, said on Friday its net profit rose to S$84.1 million ($67 million) from S$75.4 million a year ago.

Shares of SPH were flat at S$3.89, and have gained 5.4 percent since the start of the year.

Cost pressures receded in the second quarter, due to softening newsprint prices and lower variable staff bonuses, CIMB said.

However, it prefers real estate investment trusts such as CapitaMall Trust for their retail exposure and stronger growth potential.

OCBC Investment Research also raised its target price for SPH to S$4.05 from S$3.99, citing expectations of stronger rental income from its new Clementi shopping mall.

"We continue to view SPH favorably as it continues to ramp up on its retail mall strategy, which would constitute a stable counterweight to its print business going forward," said OCBC in a report.

Pseudo retail REIT
OUTPERFORM - Upgrade
Share Price S$3.78
Tgt. S$4.19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With a growing retail property arm and stable media business, SPH is increasingly like a retail REIT with limited cash-call risks, in our view.

Offering forward yields of 6.4% vs. 6.1% for retail S-REITs after its YTD underperformance, we think it offers a cheaper alternative.

We raise our EPS marginally on property rental adjustments and our SOP target price after rolling one year forward.

We also raise DPS on less conservative payout assumptions.

Upgrade from Neutral to Outperform. We see catalysts from higher-than-expected ad growth.

UOB sees dip in SPH Q3 net profit

UOB Kay Hian said it expects Singapore Press Holdings Ltd to report a net profit of about S$105 million ($81.8 million) for its third quarter, down 9 percent from a year earlier, mainly due to lower net investment income.

SPH is expected to report its results for the three months ended May on July 13.

SPH shares were up 0.3 percent at S$3.79 on Tuesday and have risen nearly 3 percent so far this year versus the 6 percent gain in the broader Straits Times Index <.FTSTI>.

For the third quarter of its 2011 fiscal year, SPH reported a relatively high net investment income of S$23.7 million, boosted by fair value gains, UOB said. It noted that SPH's net investment income is usually around S$5-10 million a quarter.

UOB said it forecast advertising revenue to fall 1-3 percent from a year earlier, while SPH's newsprint prices have peaked and are expected to be flat going forward.

But the broker said SPH offers relatively resilient earnings and an attractive annual dividend yield of 5.8 percent.

"Defensive stocks are back in vogue amid stock-market volatility," UOB said, maintaining its 'buy' rating and target price of S$4.60 on SPH stock.

STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE-CIMB raises target on SPH

CIMB Research raised its target price on Singapore Press Holdings Ltd to S$4.40 from S$4.19, to factor in stronger property earnings, valuations and lower capital expenditure, and maintained its outperform rating.

Shares of the media and property company fell 0.5 percent to S$4.00 on Monday. They have gained more than 8 percent so far this year.

SPH reported a 13 percent fall in third-quarter net profit from a year earlier , mainly due to a drop in investment income.

But CIMB said the company's underlying performance was "fairly intact", with recurring profit from media and property up 2.2 percent year-on-year.

SPH's property business delivered a 13 percent rise in rental income from a year earlier, mainly due to a fully operational Clementi Mall, while its Paragon mall posted stronger rental reversions, CIMB said.

With recurring profit as the key determinant for dividends, SPH is expected to repeat dividend per share of 24 Singapore cents for the full year, CIMB said, adding that the company's balance sheet is still strong.

STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE-Nomura raises SPH target to S$4.28

Nomura raised its target price on Singapore Press Holdings Ltd to S$4.28 from S$4.15, after updating its earnings estimates and valuation for the Singapore media and property firm's retail mall assets, but maintained its 'neutral' rating.

SPH shares were flat at S$4.01 on Tuesday. The stock has increased nearly 9 percent so far this year versus the 16 percent gain in the broader Straits Times Index <.FTSTI>.

In the third quarter of 2012 fiscal year, property profit before tax grew 42 percent to S$26.4 million ($21.6 million) from a year earlier on higher rental income from SPH's Paragon and Clementi shopping malls, Nomura said, noting that both are enjoying full occupancy.

But Nomura said SPH's August newspaper weekly page count was down 4.6 percent year-on-year, based on its monthly average, indicating that display advertising was weaker last month.

"While dividend yields remain attractive at 5.5 percent, given the tepid growth outlook and just 6.7 percent upside to our revised target price, we maintain our neutral rating on the stock," Nomura said.

STOCKS NEWS SINGAPORE-CIMB cuts SPH to neutral

CIMB Research downgraded Singapore Press Holdings Ltd (SPH) to 'neutral' from 'outperform' and cut its target price to S$4.27 from S$4.39, saying a weaker advertisement environment could hinder the company's print revenue.

Shares of the Singapore media and property company were down 1 percent at S$4.07 on Tuesday.

SPH stock rose about 9 percent in 2012, lagging the 20 percent gain in the Straits Times Index <.FTSTI>.

SPH posted a net profit of S$91.1 million ($74.3 million) for its first quarter, down 6.6 percent from a year earlier, mainly due to reduced contribution from its publishing and exhibition business.

Overall revenue growth this year is likely to be capped due to weak advertisement revenue, CIMB said, adding that the trend may continue due to the "dismal" economic outlook and a slew of tightening measures for the property sector.

However, CIMB forecast SPH's dividends to remain intact as strong property income is expected to offset weak advertising revenue. It added that SPH's balance sheet remains healthy, with net gearing decreasing to 0.3 times.

SPH's yields stood at 6 percent, CIMB said.

Asiaone has been down. In fact, I noticed a number of errors for the last few days.

I wonder if they have ever upgrade their servers over the years.

My general feeling is that AsiaOne is like a disown child of ST.

If they do want to treat the digital arm of their business seriously, there is a need to look review some of the stats other than 'eyeballs and visitors'.
