Regional and global peers are trading at an average forward
PER of over 20x, versus HFC’s 12x. Although peers are larger in
size and scale, the disparity of c. 40% is unjustified, in our
view. This should narrow as management continues to grow
its topline and deliver sustainable profit growth.
HFC is trading at 5.6x EV/EBITDA, 1.9x P/B and 1.1x P/S (on
FY09F). It also has a reasonable net dividend yield of 2.9% and
3.4% in FYE Jun 08F and 09F based on our payout ratio
assumption of 40%. It has a net cash of RMB550m (RMB0.69
or S$0.14 per share). Maintain BUY, TP: S$1.49 premised on
16x FY09F earnings (previously 18x on blended FY08/09 EPS),
at its historical average PER and a 25% discount to
regional/global peers.
