GEM Exclusive- Trading Idea-Hong Fok
Hong Fok
Mkt cap: $750m; Price: $0.87; P/B: 0.32x, Dividend yield: 1.1%, Net D/E: 29.5%
About: Primarily engaged in property investment, property development and construction, property management, investment trading and investment holding and management.
Trading idea- we love trading a stock with fundamentals. While there is deep value for the stock, value trap is always a concern. Hence, we are recommending this as a trading idea (till there is a clear path demonstrated to monetise its deep value)
Quick glance: Hongfok is a well-known value stock, given it is trading at only 0.3x P/B, and backed by investment properties such as the likes of International Plaza, Concourse and Yotel at Orchard.With its attractive valuation, a free float of only 29%, it is also a potential privatisation target. However, there are concerns that it may be a value trap, if there are no other way for shareholders to realise the deep value within Hongfok (other than the 1.1% dividend yield), which may also explain its depressed P/B. A 0.4-0.5x P/B will imply a TP of S$1.10-1.38
By the charts: After its surge earlier in the year, prices have corrected more than 20% before forming higher highs and higher lows. Stock seems to be currently supported at $0.85 as well as active share buybacks and repurchases from management/major shareholder. Assuming stock can break above its recent high of $0.895, hopefully it will be trending towards $0.94. On a weekly chart, if the stock is able to retest its previous high of $1.01, and break above, it may potentially chart towards $1.165 which will still put it within our “fundamental TP” range.
Stop loss $0.83
TP 1: $0.94
TP 2: $1.165

- Robust cash and cash equivalents position of RM273.3 million
SGX Mainboard listed Duty Free International Limited (SGX:5SO) (“DFI”, the “Company”, or collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Group”), the largest multi-channel duty free and duty paid retail group in Malaysia with strategic locations across Peninsular Malaysia, today announced its financial results for its three months ended 31 May 2019 (“1Q2020”), recording a 15.5% Y-o-Y increase in revenue to RM135.6 million and net profit stood at RM7.8 million.
Given the present economic outlook and increasingly competitive business environment as well as cautious consumer spending, the Group’s business performance is expected to remain soft and challenging due to macroeconomic trends such as slower global growth. The Group will continue its efforts in optimising operational efficiency and effectiveness by close monitoring of the key cost drivers and improving its core business in order to remain resilient in the retail industry.
