Turning cautious, downgrade to Hold. We cut FY3/13-15F net profit forecasts by 9-11% as we turn more cautious in our forecasts and on lower-than-expected licensing revenue. Our SOTP-based  TP  is consequently  reduced to SGD1.28.  We downgrade Biosensors to a Hold as we see limited upside to our revised TP. While we like the long- term growth potential, we believe that near-term uncertainties may limit share price appreciation. The commercialsation of BioFreedom could be a positive catalyst but this will be an event for 2014.

Intensifying competition in Japan. Weak licensing revenue dragged down Biosensors’ 3QFY3/13 results, resulting in management revising down their FY3/13F revenue YoY growth guidance to 15-20% (from 20- 30%). Biosensors is collaborating with Terumo to regain market share but with increased pricing pressures, intensifying competition and added cost of more aggressive marketing, we deemed it hard to see a net positive effect in the next one to two quarters.

M& As necessary for long-term growth. Biosensors is likely to seek out M& As this year as it would fit into its long-term strategy of transforming into a multi-product medical equipment company.. We suspect that the recent drawdown of SGD300m from its MTN program despite being in a net cash position could be for this purpose. Depending on the specifics of any potential deals, this could be viewed positively or negatively. But we do caution that transactions in the healthcare sector are typically done at high valuation multiples. We will revisit our recommendation and TP on better clarity.

BioFreedom contributions only from 2014. BioFreedom has received CE Mark approval. More clinical trials will be conducted to further prove its efficacy. Full commercial launch is only expected in 2014 and we think that it is too far ahead to provide positive share price trigger.

Licensing not expected to last forever. While Biosensors looks cheap at 12.6x FY3/14F PER, we do not expect its licensing revenue with Terumo to last for forever. This is the key reason why our TP is lower than consensus. We value it separately using DCF but we have attributed a fair 18x PER multiple on its core business.

The whole market does not look very promising at all...

  Selling the juicy peaks may be the best approach to take...

I don't see bullish engulfing candle as at today closing (14 Mar). Its leg is too short to call it a hammer, but it reached the lower Bol band. Also, its MACD still below its signal line... bad sign.

Its future direction still very unclear.

The whole drop from the top is pengsan... 

Sifu is using the correct terminology (collect)... I like...  Smiley

From 1.24 drop to 1.20 is pengsan?  You  bought in millions? Well I just got in at 1.20 and will collect more if it goes down further, bearing in mind the management still has the mandate to buyback at aroung 1.17.

Looks very pengsan... I had intended to long @1.24, but luckily did not place the order...

Oops, paiseh. Read wrongly. Thanks for the correction.

Err I think you got it wrong, it's not Biosensors who got the funding.

I quote from the page:

" One of the three start-ups - Clearbridge BioMedics - also announced it has secured additional funding from private investors."

" The other two companies that received funding from SPRING are Advanced Medicine Holdings and Sano V."  

" Clearbridge BioMedics says it is confident it can put out a better product at a significantly lower cost.Currently, the device is only available for research purposes, and it could be any number of years before it's cleared for clinical use.


Some of the firm's backers include Clearbridge BSA, BioVeda, Biosensors founder Lu Yoh Chie and Vertex Venture Management, the wholly-owned venture capital arm of Temasek Holdings."  

  Just want to highlight in case anyone get misled.   :) But nonetheless, hope Biosensors recovers tomorrow.

That is true, sifu...

  Encountering too may stop losses is a drain on one's available cash. 

      That is why it is so important to enter only at strict points.

            Stocks is all a matter of betting right, not insisting on being right.

                  One can't have the cake and eat it... protection of capital is the top priority,

                        The price of such protection is small losses ... otherwise one risks BIG losses...

Sifu ipunter 


I found it very difficult to trade in local market. Havent analyse the price action or havent TP, price already fall back
Many counter have only false breakout, " one day/one moment" . 
eg. Recently, Noble, Cosco, Hancore many times.....many more
Either In and Out super fast with 1/2 bid profit or i just ride it become long term " stucker" . But really paid a lot of fee jump in jump out. Trade in Us is easier and even cheaper as no lot size.

My profit target depends on the ongoing price action...

  If I don't like the action I am seeing, I even get out at the same price I entered at...
