Not vested. From CIMB:-

Cutting forecasts.

We are cutting our FY08-10 forecasts for Lian Beng by 11-60% to account for risks in its property development profits, which stem from projects such as Lincoln Lodge and Kovan Road, where benchmark transacted prices have fallen below breakeven costs.

In addition, we factor in cost inflation on construction materials, especially from FY09 onwards, which would erode margins. This is despite the fact that LBG has an order book of over S$700m.

Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform;
target price reduced.
We previously used sum-of-the-parts analysis to arrive at a target price of S$1.32 for Lian Beng.

Now that its properly development profits are unlikely to materialise in the next two years, we have changed our valuation methodology to 8x CY09 P/E, or a 20% discount to our targets for industry peers. On our reduced EPS estimates, our new target price is S$0.38. Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform.

I am constantly amazed at how our analysts come out with such price targets. LB was a 75ct stock early January. Now it stands at 22.5cts :P

The value of the company is the price the last seller is willing to sell at :lol:

Lian Beng's Q1 net profit surges 174%


By LYNETTE KHOO

Riding the wave of the residential property market, Lian Beng Group reported on Thursday a 174.2 per cent surge in net profit for the first quarter ended Aug 31 to $5.28 million.

This came on the back of a 128.6 per cent jump in revenue to $85.1 million. This was driven by completion of projects like Ferraria Park, Sixth Avenue Condominium and Northwoods, as well as progress payments from existing projects such as the construction of Amber Residences, camp facilities at Kranji, Kovan Residences and Bellerive Condominium.

The group also saw higher revenue contribution from Ola Residences, a wholly-owned property development project, and improvement in operational productivity.

Lian Beng said it expects to be participating in more tender activities for private and public projects over the rest of the financial year.

Lian Beng's nine-month net profit jumps 52% to $17.4m

By JOYCE HOOI

LIAN Beng Group yesterday posted a towering 52 per cent increase in nine-month net profit to $17.4 million, from $11.4 million a year earlier.

Revenue for the nine months ended Feb 28, 2010, climbed 4.5 per cent from $230.1 million to $240.5 million.

The company had earlier posted revenue of $157.6 million and net profit of $11.3 million for the six months ended Nov 30, 2009. Assuming no restatement of six-month figures, this would mean Lian Beng seeing a third-quarter net profit of $6.1 million (up 129 per cent year-on-year) on revenue of $8.29 million (up 4.7 per cent).

Besides higher gross profit margins, other operating income also boosted the nine-month bottom line, rising 50.4 per cent year-on-year to $3 million, mostly from gains on the disposal of plant and equipment, and sale of investment property, as well as from interest received from an affiliate.

On the balance sheet front, the group's total borrowings for the nine-month period decreased from $119.9 million to $104.6 million mainly due to lower bank borrowings and an increase in repayment of existing borrowings.

Its cash reserves were also shored up both by lower borrowings and higher profits, rising $43.1 million to $49.8 million as at Feb 28.

The group's outlook for the private residential market is a buoyant one.

'The strong positive response to recent private residential property launches in Singapore is expected to drive private residential sector demand for construction services over the next 12 months,' the group stated yesterday.

Last month, Lian Beng won three building contracts worth $317 million for the construction of Dakota Crescent, Centro Residences and The Laurels - all of which are private residential developments.

Including these contracts, the group's order book stood at $850 million on March 31.

In an update on its lawsuit against Manhattan Resources Ltd for an outstanding debt of $9.4 million, the group said: 'The company's legal counsel has advised that the company's chances of success in this case remain favourable . . . (so) the group has not made a provision for the doubtful debt owed by Manhattan.'

Earnings per share for the group stood at 3.28 cents for the nine-month period, up from 2.16 cents for the corresponding period the year before.
