DJ MARKET TALK: Galaxy Rally Overdone; Fund-Raising Overhang - CS

Credit Suisse says Galaxy Entertainment's (0027.HK) strong run since announcing US$170 million bond repurchase "overdone."

Keeps Neutral call, but raises target price to HK$1.12 vs HK$1.00, mostly reflecting valuation gain from bond repurchase.

Says cash flow from StarWorld, plus existing cash on hand of about HK$5.6 billion would not be enough to satisfy outstanding capex of HK$7.5 billion for Cotai Mega Resorts, not to mention outstanding debt of HK$5.5 billion, thus believes Galaxy will need to raise more capital in 2009, which will be major overhang. Galaxy +2.5% at HK$1.25 midday

DJ Galaxy Entertainment:Gaming License Writedown May Hurt 08 Pft

HONG KONG (Dow Jones)--Macau casino operator Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd. (0027.HK) said Wednesday it expects to make another writedown of the value of its gaming licence, which would hurt its 2008 results. 'As a result of an accounting exercise to reassess the recoverable amount of the group's assets as at Dec. 31 2008, it is expected that the intangible assets will have a further non-cash write-down for accounting purposes,' Galaxy said in a statement.

It didn't give details on the size of the writedown. Galaxy's first-half net loss widened to HK$7.43 billion from HK$267.8 million in the same period a year earlier, mainly due to an impairment on financial assets. The company wrote down the carrying value of its gaming licence by HK$8.2 billion to HK$5.8 billion as of June 30.

Galaxy is scheduled to report its 2008 results April 24. Macau's casino operators have been hurt by a decline in gaming revenue and visitors. Since the middle of 2008, Beijing has tightened restrictions on visits to Macau by mainland Chinese in an apparent attempt to stop gambling and money laundering by mainland civil servants.

Last month, Galaxy's peer, Melco International Development Ltd., said it swung to a 2008 net loss of HK$2.36 billion from a net profit of HK$2.69 billion in 2007

DJ MARKET TALK: Credit Suisse Cuts Galaxy Target To HK$17 Vs HK$21.40Sep 15

1632 [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: Credit Suisse cuts Galaxy Entertainment's (0027.HK) target price to HK$17.00 from HK$21.40, after switching to a more conservative valuation multiple of 10X FY12E EV/EBITDA from the previous 12.5X.

"Despite the addition of the more-mass-market-focused Galaxy Macau, Galaxy is still the most high-roller-focused casino operator in Macau and thus relatively more vulnerable to the potential market slowdown."

The house adds, while Galaxy Macau's performance since opening in mid-May has been better than expected, with lower-than-expected cannibalization from its sister casino, StarWorld, it expects StarWorld's growth to slow on continuing cannibalization and challenges from Sands China's (1928.HK) sites 5&6's first phase, which is set to open in late 1Q12 or early 2Q12.

The stock price has sharply outperformed the market and peers year-to-date, the house notes, adding that the majority of the potential earnings upside has been priced-in, as shown by its 11% valuation premium vs peers.

It keeps a Neutral call.

Galaxy Entertainment Group [27 HK] - Neutral :
Strong 3Q11. Still our beta hedge( HKD14.14 / PT: HKD21.00 )


Galaxy reported strong 3Q EBITDA at HK$1.8bn, up 62% q-q, due to full quarter contribution from Galaxy Macau (GM).

Despite strong win rate (StarWorld: 3.2% & GM: 3.1%) both casinos’ EBITDA were hurt by hold rate differential of its turnover based/revenue share VIP commission programme.

Having rose >50% in 2 wks, some investors profit-take into results. But we go on to see value in Galaxy at 8.8x 12F EBITDA & earnings’ upside for GM from margin & mass win rate.

Given its “still” VIP centric earnings’ stream, Galaxy can be a good beta hedge to our core holding of mass market play, Sands China.
