5th Mayday Concert - Life Unlimited

This concert is dedicated to my 1 day dream. The happiest and most heart-breaking 1 day of my life - the dream of a fairytale love story (Private Post).

----

First party at the Sports Hub!

The good:

- A "fuller" song list compare to the previous concert, and also inclusion of new songs (终于结束的起点).
- Sound system is fine unlike previous bad reviews.
- "这一生只愿只要平凡快乐，谁说这样不伟大呢" 😭
- Surprise 大咖 guest uncle?! (Based on past exp, I have already resigned to having 路人 tier as their guests)
- 志明与春娇，30 seconds of 心中无别人.
- Got to experience 2 standard endings in one event. (憨人 and 倔强 - Usually only 1 of them happens)

The "too bad":
- Notable missing classics: 温柔, 终结孤单, 孙悟空
- Missing personal favourites: 步步, 星空, 仓颉, 勇敢, 如烟
- Big guest only sing 1 song and it's not even his most well known one? And leave stage when the song not even ended. -.-
- Ended earlier than usual.

The bad:
- We really sucks at calling for encore =.=
- Why is everyone around me so 冷静 😣
- And is it just me who prefer the indoor stadium more?

Conclusion:
- Buying cheap seats really sucks. Hard to get high when the people around you are all so "gloomy".
- Based on past experience, standing in the pit kinda sucks for me too (too short, end up see screen).
- So far, my most enjoyable has been to sit at CAT2. Gonna keep this in mind for future concerts.

Quarterly Results Review - 2018Q1

M1
The results were just as I expected as mobile service revenue and profit increased slightly for the first time in a long time, signialling that earnings indeed bottomed in the last quarter. Of course, this is until TPG enters the battlefield.

At worst I forsee another 5-10% drop in earnings. EPS is 14.c in Y2017 - Assuming the worst case drop and EPS of 12.8c, an 80% payout ratio is 10.3c DPU which at $1.74 still gives a 5.9% yield. Assuming a steady DPU of 11c, we are hoping it would yield 6.3%. They have lot of initiatives such as waste management, SG bikes, corporate segment growth which we hope would eventually replace the declining mobile revenue. A secondary factor is confidence boost by several like-minded investors.'

As before, they are branching into other areas like malware detection solutions, nationwide IOT, smart sensors, "intelligent" waste management system, cloud offering of digital startups. Whether they will take off remains to be seen.

For now, my preference would be to take a small "swing" position to slowly recoup the losses, targetting to sell a portion above $1.9 (less than 6% yield) and buy should it come down to a reasonable price.


CapitaCommercial Trust
Headline figure was quite misleading as DPU drop 10+% due to the enlarged units base. Otherwise, DPU would have increased 7.6%.

Good results (DPU up 8.66%, 6% higher) but the stock price have shot through the sky. I really should have grit my teeth and sell when it was at more than $2. It is really unstainable considering the yield at that price is below 5%.

I believe it would be more fairly valued at $1.65 for a 5.5% yield, or at best $1.8 for 5% yield. The market are pricing in lot of growth from their AEI and Asia Square acquisition.


CapitaMall Trust
Slight increase in DPU to 2.78c for 1Q, and seems to be on track on meeting the 11c target. Yield remains at 5.4% yield at ~$2.0x. 

Announced divestment of Sembawang Shopping Centre which consist of only ~1% of CMT asset, but the surprise was selling it for ~$248m when the independent valuation is only half of that. Forumers who attended AGM mentioned CMT are conservative on their valuation, which seems to be good news if this sale hold any truth.


Starhill Global Trust
Starhill results slightly worse than I expected with DPU dropping by 7.6% (thought max would drop by 5%). Not sure how big a role the renovations played but a 7+% shopper traffic drop at Wisma seems bad. Hopefully DPU will stabalize in 2H with AEI completion in Australia.


Frasers Centrepoint Trust
In summary a good set of results led by Northpoint City.
 DPU of 3.10 cents, up 2.0% year-on-year (2Q17 DPU: 3.04 cents)
 Gross Revenue of $48.6 million, up 6.3% year-on-year
 Net Property Income of $34.8 million, up 6.9% year-on-year
 NAV per Unit of $2.03 as at 31 March 2018 (31 Dec 2017: $2.02)
 Gearing level at 29.2% as at 31 March 2018 (31 Dec 2017: 29.4%)

Frasers Property
Results swell this quarter to make up for the huge hit last quarter. Recurring income maintained at around 70%.

Frasers Centrepoint Limited renamed. Its share price has been on a downtrend since hitting $2.25.

Current NAV fell 4c to $2.42, and I expect dividends to be maintained at 8.6c a year (roughly 60% oapyout ratio). I am really treating this as an ETF and not reading much into the details. might add on more should it come to $1.7 (30% discount to NAV, 5% yield).


Far East Hospitality Trust
Finally we see glimpse of recovery after many consecutive quarters of DPU fall - it rises 1% to 0.94c. 

With contribution from Oasis Hotel Downtown (acquired on 2nd April) and recovery in the industry, better times and DPU should be ahead. Slight drag from Service Residences.

At 67c, this is one of the REIT which haven't run up significantly in price. I might consider adding if there are no better deals and it drops a bit more (to say around 63c).

Expect total DPU of 4c, which gives a yield of around 6%.


Sembcorp Industries
Almost all analysts are predicting $3.5 to as high as $4.4 target prices, but I still see no major turning point in the results. Yield at current price is a pathetic 2% and I am really reluctant to average down on this (I can get better yield from my banks).

Good points? The IPO in India is the major catalyst, and it is trading at relatively big discount to NAV of $3.6. If it falls to $2.70 I might do an average down.


Netlink Trust
Higher than IPO forcasted DPU of 3.24c declared. At $0.81, forecasted yield is around 5.7%

I have built a substantial position in this, and this will form a decent pillar in my dividend income.

Singtel
Management finally committed to a dividend guidance of 17.5c, although I have never doubted Singtel ability to maintain it. This is definitely meant to assure investors in face of earning pressure (profits -18% in Q4). Payout ratio is at the highest at 81%.

At $3.40, Singtel currently trades at 10x EV/EBITDA (minus -2SD from historical mean), below its five year historical mean of 12x. It is also supported by a attractive yield of 5.1%. P/E is close to 10!

I would definitely add on more if I weren't already so heavily vested in it. I think I will fire one more bullet should it falls to $3.3, and reserve 1 final bullet for $3.

Accordia Golf Trust
Yield has gone down to 6% from the 7.5% I estimated when I first invested in this counter (roughly same price). Full year DPU is now just 3.85c, down from 6.04c last year. NAV stands at 90c.

It was hurt really badly by membership deposit in 1H and I doubt it will ever go back up to 78 high again. Utilization rates also plummet in Jan to Mar.

Management continue to iterate Japan's economy recovery, hopefully it prorpogates down to this counter. I will seriously consider selling it if the price rebounds or fundamentals continue to weaken (it has weaken for 3 quarters).


Watchlist / Potential 

M1 - Will sell this at $1.8+ to reduce exposure to Telco sector.

Singtel - Extremely attractive at committed 5.2% yield. Below $3.3.

Raffles Medical Group - Closer to $1. High P/E but long term growth story. China is make or break.

Comfort Delgro - $1.9 and below would be extremely tempting but boat is gone.

SGX - Closer to $7. India exchange saga impact unknown.

ThaiBev - A lot hinges on their Vision 2020. Debt is crazy after the acquisition spree. Results were bad as expected consumer recovery did not happen. Currently at 17.5 P/E, -1sd below 5 year average. 70c maybe?

Mapletree Comm Trust - Closer to $1.5, camping at 6% yield. NAV is $1.37.

ST Engineering - Would likely bite at 5% yield (closer to $3)

[Obsolete]

Capitaland - Look closer to $3.3 or below.

Mapletree Greater China Trust - $1.1 or when it retract to more than 7% yield.

Mapletree Logistic Trust - Despite >10% retracement still pretty expensive. If it comes closer to book value, say $1.1.
