How a Peanut Seller Became One of Asia’s Biggest Billionaires

by Michelle Toh

The importance of world civilization, positive energy, and moral education and the reason he’s decided to honor former U.S. President Jimmy Carter this week with the Lui Che Woo Prize, a now-annual tradition


This year’s recipients: President Carter, Chinese professor Yuan Longping, and the Doctors Without Borders organization.

Each will receive HK$20 million (US$2.56 million) for their contributions to international human rights, food supply security, and the treatments of cholera and Ebola, respectively.


Adopt basic principles: “to help people, to not do things I shouldn’t do, to help this world.”

“I don’t want to just say it—but to do what I really need to do,” he adds.

<Research Report>C Suisse: GALAXY ENT (00027.HK) 3Q EBITDA Tops Estimates; Rated Outperform

Credit Suisse, in its report, said the 3Q EBITDA of GALAXY ENT (00027.HK) rose 18% quarterly and 28% yearly to $2.681 billion, higher than the broker's estimate ($2.4 billion).

Adjusted for the favourable luck benefit of $240 million (mainly from mass market), EBITDA is largely in-line.

The broker said the growth from direct VIP and high-end mass will remain high, benefitting the margin. Credit Suisse remained bullish on Galaxy on its attractive valuation and solid operating performance, so rated the stock Outperform with target price of $34.

The broker said the revenue of Galaxy grew 6% quarterly to $12.9 billion, slightly behind industry GGR growth of 7%.

The new casinos (Wynn and Parisian) opened during the quarter and had a limited impact on Galaxy.

EBITDA margin expanded by 2 ppts quarterly to 20.7% in 3Q16, mainly on the back of the better hold rate, favourable revenue mix shift, operating leverage on revenue pick up and company cost saving.

Mass strength

3Q16 adjusted EBITDA of HK$2.7bn (+28% yoy, +18% qoq) was stronger than our and consensus expectations.

9M16 adjusted EBITDA at 80% of full year forecast

3Q16 adjusted EBITDA margin a record high due to operational efficiencies coupled with shift to the higher-margin mass gaming segment

We increase our target price as we raise our FY16-18F earnings by 10%. GEG remains our top pick in the gaming space. Maintain Add

Best not get carried away by ‘lucky’ 3Q16
Maintain HOLD, but raise TP 9% to HKD28.80

3Q16 and 9M16 EBITDA outperformed due largely to very high 3Q16 win rates.

To be fair, 3Q16 and 9M16 win normalised EBITDA still outperformed a tad on continuous cost rationalisation. Therefore, we
raise our long-term EBITDA estimates by 7-8%.

Ascribing an unchanged 9x FY16 EV/EBITDA (-1.5 SD to sector 12M EV/EBITDA mean) to StarWorld and 13x FY16 EV/EBITDA or (+0.5 SD to sector 12M EV/EBITDA mean) to its Cotai casinos, we raise our TP from HKD26.35 to HKD28.80.

Stellar asthe 3Q16 results were, they are unlikely to recur frequently.

Positive feedback from NDR

Feedback from Malaysia NDR positive with concerns mainly centred on valuation.

Maintain Add with target price based on 16x FY16F EV/EBITDA, 1 s.d. above its 4-year average. GEG remains our top pick in the Macau gaming space.

Expect GEG’s valuation discount to Sands China to continue to narrow as sector risk appetite improves.

GEG has number one market share of 26% within VIP, and any recovery benefits. GEG the most relative to other operators.


GEG will begin land preparation work for Phases 3 and 4 by end-2016 or early-2017.

Phase 3 is slated to open in 2019 and will be meetings, incentives, conferences, Exhibitions (MICE)-focused, with a convention centre and mass market hotel.

Phase 4 is slated to open in 2020 and will be a landmark integrated resort.

GEG is the only operator who has significant remaining land bank

Man and son found dead in Macau’s Galaxy casino complex

His wife, and another son were also found unconscious in same room at the resort’s five-star Hotel Okura

The tragedy comes as figures for 2016 released by Macau police revealed a 19.2 per cent year-on-year rise in casino-related crime in the city.

Among a total of 1,851 casino-related crimes recorded in 2016 were cases of abduction, extortion and usury, which are typically connected to gambling-related loan sharking

Solid operation underappreciated; re-iterate sector top pick

Galaxy’s strong operating performance is underappreciated by the market, in our view. Five reasons to accumulate Galaxy now are
as follows.

(1) Solid operation: we estimate Galaxy's 4Q16 VIP to grow 13-15% QoQ and mass +8% QoQ, outperforming peers despite new
competitors entering in 4Q.

(2) Most room for earnings upgrade: we expect Galaxy’s 4Q16 EBITDA to reach ~HK$2.83 bn, +8% QoQ. Annualising 4Q16E and assuming no more sequential improvement, it could already achieve HK$11.3 bn EBITDA (vs cons HK$10.6 bn). CS’ FY17E EBITDA is 16% above consensus.

(3) Best positioned for industry recovery which is currently driven by mid-end premium mass and VIP.

(4) Catalysts: earnings upgrade post results on 28 February, solid industry GGR that dismisses investors’ concern and easy YoY comparison starting from March.

(5) Undemanding valuation: Galaxy is currently trading at 11x2017E EBITDA vs its long-term average of 13x and peers' 12.5x.
Ex-net cash, it is trading at 17x FY17 P/E. We re-iterate our OUTPERFORM call and Galaxy is our sector top pick.
