One Comment to HLF

  1. KK says:

    Although Q1 Results looked good, it was mainly due to the write-back of $13.587Mil in Provision (for Structured Products). If we remove that, the Annualised EPS would have been flat. Nevertheless, I have decided to collect on price weakness for longer term hold. My reasons,

    (1) NAV = $3.42 : The 3 banks are trading at a premium to their Book Value. For HLFin, current market price of $3.12 is at close to 10% discount. BUT, of course HLFin is much smaller in size and doesn not have a full banking license.

    (2) Yield : Although current yield is ~2.5%, I'm expecting the dividend payout to increase. The payout used to be closer to 100% Net Profit but was cut during the financial crisis due mainly to provisions for their structured products. Even if they increase to just 50% payout, I'd expect an annual dividend of 11-13ct. This translates to 3-4% yield.

    (3) Economy : Banks are Economy stocks. With Singapore GDP forecasted to be 5-7% this year, HLFin can only benefit from any real growth. Even now, with the Residential Property market being still so hot, I'm wondering why HLFin is not getting a share of it.

    Let's hope I'm right!
