Almost at lehamn time low ... cannot be right
my capital is melting, see the new low to day
Cornered With Its Wings Clipped
Pros
SIA announced that out of 8 of its new jets, 3 of them will have larger personal space. This is deemed to be a right strategy, as it turn wasted space (low load) into customer value (bigger space). It is expected to enhance the competitiveness of SIA against its rival.
Cons
-However, SIA is too conservative for its own good. Testing out the new strategy on a small scale (3 jets), though limit the cost of failure, gives competitors ample time to study the effect of the new strategy and to mimic if it turns out to be successful. As a result, SIA not only failed to achieve sustained strategic competitiveness, it will also becomes a free laboratory for its competitors. Thus, we can expect the latest strategy, which is supposedly a good one, to be a fail attempt for SIA to regain competitiveness in the industry.
- Although some analysts claimed that load and revenue would improve as economy recovers, the accompanying hike in oil price would jeopardise the company recovery.
- The fundamental of SIA business continues to get eroded by competitors who are offering services that are pretty close to SIA yet charges much lower fare e.g. Thai Airway. SIA's new strategy that focus on improving in-flight entertainment shows that its management is running out of ideas to improve the business. Reason being physical attributes of a " product" can be easily copied and provide little sustainted competitive advantage, thus it is normally the last thing that management wants to depend on for differentiation. The fact that SIA has been focusing on the physical atttribute prove how desperate it is.
-As time and option is running out for SIA management, I expect that the only viable strategy left for the company to survive would be to retreat to top end market where its higher fare can be justified. However to achieve that, SIA would have to shed off it current scale of operation, causing its revenue to fall- though proftiablility might improve should SIA survived the transformation.
Given such bleak prospect, I have SIA a TP of $9.60, this price has already taken into consideration of the strong brand name that the company possessed.
Just sharing my view here, email me rosesyrup123@yahoo.com if you have something to share with me. Thanks.

SIA conducted an informal analyst briefing following the recent release of its 1QFY14 numbers. Conversation centred on three areas: SQ's yield composition, the outlook for the freight business and specific market performance, in particular, Australia. While SIA tends to be economical with guidance, it would appear that the greatest contributions to passenger yield (and its 1QFY14 decline was currency—especially JPY and AUD, with the mix actually quite stable. While discounting to fill additional seats to Australia remains a reality, CS see the impact of better business class load and a less aggressive YoY currency track taking some pressure off yields in future periods. CS retain its OUTPERFORM rating and $12.50 TP. House view is that airlines continue their gradual firming in both earnings and stock price, absent any sharp movement in jet fuel and/or currency.
.. yes. not recommending to buy. but may just hold for those who are vested in sia..............................already

..Another not so pessimistic report.
Core earnings for Singapore Airlines were below
expectations due to an operating loss of S$44m in 4Q.
Net profit of S$379m was 13% higher than last year.
Passenger yields are likely to remain fairly tepid with a bias
towards modest improvements. However, jet fuel has
been trending lower and should help a modest recovery
for earnings. A S17cts final dividend was declared
maintain HOLD, TP S$11.50 (Prev S$ 11.20).

....Share with you this report (not all that negative. SIA cheer up):
Singapore Airlines- 4QFY13: Market has not factored in key positives.
(SIA SP/BUY/S$10.93/Target: S$13.30)
FY14F PE(x): 22.1
FY15F PE(x): 14.2
The 4.3% yield decline was mainly due to forex impact. Some 79% of the 4.3% decline in the yields was due to lower S$-yields, ie SIA was impacted by the yen and the euro which had declined 7% during the period. About 10-12% of the parent airline's revenue came from Japan and 22% from Europe. This suggests that competitive pressures were less of an issue. Despite the adverse forex moves in 1Q13, pax yields actually improved mom in March. If the forex impact was excluded, yields would have improved qoq.
No reason to be pessimistic on results. We are surprised by the market’s reaction to the results. The decline in yields was mainly due to unprecedented currency volatility, especially in the yen. The market should be focusing on the impact of inbound travels to Japan and that SIA would now have hedged its yen exposure at better rates.
Maintain BUY with a lower target price of S$13.30 (from S$13.50), mainly factoring in a 7.3% change in SIAEC’s target price. At current level, SIA is being valued at 70% ex-SIAEC after adjusting for a 10% discount to fair value. We continue to value SIA on an SOTP basis and value the airline business at 0.9x FY14F book value.
Btw, i wish i m wrong about the below $10 thingy. As singaporean, i ll be very sad to see a great airline fall. Like it or not, sq still a better choice to take. Other airlines treat singaporean like shit whereas sq still can tolerate us ( at least me lah, not so good looking singaporean) . Lol

| Yup, face value is 1 thing but reality is real. Last time sia fly high is bcos of no budget airline but now? From number 1 to now number what? I used to be a great sia fan and had owned xx lots before but now only left with 5 lots. Those 5 lots are considered free after all the dividends and sats shares given by them. If i m not wrong, no more assets for them to sell anymore. |

Singapore Airlines (SIA) announced that it will park another cargo freight plane until May 2014 in an effort to cut its cargo capacity further. This will be the second freighter taken out of service with the first pulled out in Dec 2012. As a recap, in its recent FY13 results, SIA Cargo experienced an operating loss for its second straight year.
While the move is a welcomed one in light of the weak air cargo market, particularly in Asia-Pacific, we still expect operating losses for the division in FY14 and assert that a turnaround is unlikely even with capacity cuts as cargo yields remain depressed.
Overall, SIA as a group continues to face competitive pressures from other premium carriers, and management has yet to take any concrete steps to invigorate its business prospects. Therefore, we maintain our SELL rating on SIA with an unchanged fair value estimate of S$10.00. (Lim Siyi of OCBC) |
