Frasers Commercial Trust posts 6.7% rise in 1Q distributable income to $7.9m

Frasers Commercial Trust says gross revenue was for the first quarter ended Dec 31, 2010, was $29 million, 2.3% lower as compared to a year ago. This was mainly due to lower contribution from Cosmo Plaza as a result of the expiry of a significant tenancy in August 2010. Correspondingly, net property income was 2.4% lower at $22.9 million. Total distributable income was up by 4.1% year-on-year to $12.6 million from $12.1 million. This was attributable to an absence of loss from realisation of forward contract incurred in the prior year. After accounting for distribution to Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Units (CPPU) holders of $4.7 million, amount available for distribution to unitholders was $7.9 million, an increase of 6.7% from a year earlier.   //Theedge/

 

Also.....they just sold COSMOS at slightly above valuation. This shows that their Q valuation by 3rd party is in order.

Will try to queue again at 0.165 Andrew      ( Date: 20-Jan-2011 21:23) Posted: You can hardly Q to buy........I was lucky to buy some more at the sell Q @ 16cts recently......within 2 hour 13K lots all sold. It turn out that the manager is selling their management fee......

 

They want to consolidate to push price closer to $1 so that institutional investor can buy, coz at $0.17 many II internal policies may not allow them to buy.

At 17.5c, 5 to 1 consol -> 87.5c, push to $1 => 14% upside.  

Let's see if the volume picks up post stock consolidation.... 

 

So now the consolidation is around 0.155 to 0.17? Will try to queue again at 0.165

There is evidence of accumulation at those prices. Consolidation 5 into 1 is definitely positive. I expect their business in Singapore and Aussieland has improved significantly and expect the next financial report and distribution to be very positive.

Property manager is paid by stock rather than cash for the past few quarters. Very bullish sign.

This is perhaps the only REIT trading at penny price.  And some funds will not trade or invest in sub dollar stock.

By doing a 5-to-1, the stock become a 80~90 cts stock.  With a little push, $1 mark is possible.

For $1 it is 20cts now.....see the gap......and still undervalue.

The only con I see is that the gearing is higher than normal @ 39% compare with 20%. Has not loss money ever seen F&N took over.

Anyone watching this counter?

 

Start the ball rolling! Buy more... haha.

 

Another REIT counter with strong buy call by OCBC is Starhill Global, but the share price never move one...same like this one...strange...

 

Thanks for the info.. some thing to look forward to ... having holding it for so long. :)

 

Next Monday 29 Nov.

When  will we receive the dividend?  any idea?

Thanks.

 

A strange report.  To get a BUY call the TP should have at least a 15% upside to rate lor.

It is so funny to add dist yield to at 12.6%....which still fall short of the BUY call.

FCOT derives some 52 per cent of its gross revenue from Singapore, which comprises China Square Central, 55 Market Street and Alexandra Technopark.

FCL is a leading Singapore-based property company with a strong global foothold in property development, property investment, serviced residences and investment funds. Apart from having financial support, a developer sponsor also allows FCOT to be granted rights of first refusal to a possibly rich pipeline of sponsor-owned assets for future acquisition. In the near to middle term, StarHub Centre, Alexandra Point and Valley Point are slated as possible asset injection targets for FCOT, if they prove yield-accretive to unitholders. FCOT enjoys a number of blue-chip long tenure leases such as Commonwealth of Australia, BHP Billiton Petroleum, and master leases that provide long term income stability to the Reit along with potential for rental upside. Approximately 65 per cent of FCOT's revenue is derived from such leases. One-quarter of its gross rental income also has built-in annual rent step-ups. In line with our 'overweight' rating for office Reits, we believe that FCOT will likewise be able to ride on the recovery cycle and benefit from positive rental reversions in FY2011 to FY2012. We also see potential to grow income through asset enhancement initiatives and acquisitions. At S$0.16 per unit, FCOT is trading at a 59 per cent discount-to-book compared to the broader office Reits which are trading at 30 per cent discount-to-book. We believe this significant discount is unwarranted, considering FCOT's high-quality assets, strong sponsor and sound financials. FCOT recently proposed the unit consolidation of five existing units, which it thinks will improve the market perception and attractiveness of its units. We concur with the manager's strategy and apply a 40 per cent discount to our RNAV instead, deriving a fair value of S$0.17. This translates to an estimated total return of 12.6 per cent (price upside: 6.3 per cent; distribution yield: 6.3 per cent). We initiate coverage of FCOT with a 'buy' rating. BUY

Agree it's better cos with higher price (times 5) it can attract institutional investors.  Those who would end up with odd lots can sell some so you don't end up with odd lots.  Whats the problem?
