SMU E.y.E - FA   

SingRe

Itvalue,

The historical data is just a guide, it does not guarantee the future prospects.

Agreed with points stated by shyplayer on SpRe.

Cheers.

 

Itvalue,

From the FA point of view, SpRe is a fundementally sound company.

Its 1H07 result was eps 2.84c and NAV 35.76c.  However, about 40% of its H1 eps was derived from equity investments. With the current market sentiment, perhaps it ill not be able to repeat this in H2. Furthermore, Co. also commented that premiums for the next 12 mths may decline due to overcapacity of insurance and reinsurance globally.

SpRe is a defensive stock with good yield but don't expect too much price movement from it.

 

Uh, since it is growing, can I assume the years are increasing towards the right?  The columns aren't labeled.

 

How do we look at an re-insurance business? what are some of the metrics or indicators that we should look out for?

What i like about SingRe is that it has consistent growing NTA and EPS

Net Tangible Assets Per Share (cents)	27.30	27.89	29.35	32.94	33.14
Earnings Per Share (cents)	1.69	2.03	3.00	3.43	3.79
Gross Dividend (cents)	2.00	2.00	2.00	3.825	2.10
Plus it is available at a PE of slightly over 7.
