From CIMB 14May09
Epure International S$0.44 Target: S$0.52
Improving margins and stronger balance sheet
• Positive outlook intact. On the back of increased government efforts, as well as contracts expected to come from the construction of new plants and the upgrading and replacement of old and inefficient plants, management expressed a positive outlook for the water industry.
• Maintain Outperform; higher target price of S$0.52 (from S$0.37). We have kept our forecasts intact. However, we roll forward our P/E target to CY10, now pegging it at 10x (8x previously) to reflect an industry-wide re-rating. As a result, our target price rises from S$0.37 to S$0.52. Epure has a high-earnings-visibility business and solid track record in sustaining its margins.
Maintain Outperform.

Epure's 1Q09 net profit of Rmb40.7m (+32.4% yoy) was within expectations. Though 1Q09 accounts for only 15% of our FY09 forecast, there is no cause of concern due to the lumpy nature of EPC earnings. Gross margins climbed to 35.4% in 1Q09. Balance sheet strengthened as net cash shot up to Rmb505.9m from Rmb381.3m in 4Q08. Management expressed a positive outlook for the water industry. We have kept our forecasts intact. However, we roll forward our P/E target to CY10 and peg it at 10x (from 8x) to reflect an industry-wide re-rating, raising our target price to S$0.52 from S$0.37. Maintain Outperform.
Epure ever hit a high of $2.52 and private placement to institutional dealers were between $2.16 to $2.20 and Epure is now cash rich and
dividends paying too

Epure International Ltd (Buy; S$0.50; EPUR SP)
First batch of orders for 2008
Price Target: 12-Month S$ 1.07
By: Wee Lee Chong +65 6398 7971
Story: Epure announced that it has won RMB257m worth of consolidated EPC
contracts for wastewater treatment systems in the past months in China. The
contracts are secured and being finalised for signing. These latest batch
of contracts win can be broken down into: 1) Four industrial contracts (one
in Tianjin and three in Tangshan), worth RMB55m. Target completion dates
are in 4Q 2008, and 2) Three municipal contracts (one in Ezhou and two in
Hubei), worth RMB202m. Target completion dates are in the 4Q 2008 to 1Q
2009 periods.
Point: We believe that this order book update should alleviate concerns on
its lack of new order news flow y-t-d in 2008. Epure's current order book
is RMB435m, which implies that about RMB178m orders were carried forward
from 2007. Our net profit projection stays at RMB275m in FY08, assuming
RMB900m new orders win in 2008.
This latest batch of contracts also reaffirms our view that the lack of
news flow till last week is a matter of timing issue, especially when Epure
has the habit of announcing new contracts win in batches (vs. individual
contract announcements). Given China's increasing focus and stricter rules
on environmental issues, and Epure¡¯s position as one of the more recognised
EPC player for wastewater treatment systems in the PRC, we are anticipating
more orders flow in the months ahead.
Relevance: Our fair value for Epure is S$1.07, after adjusting for its
recent 1-into-3 shares split, and using 25x FY08 PE. We reckon that Epure
deserves the scarcity premium as one of the few fundamentally performing
SGX-listed water play. Epure has also declared net dividend of 2 Scents per
pre-split share for FY07. On a post share split basis, the net dividend per
share is about 0.07 Scents. Maintain BUY.Even better is Epure is going to pay 0.08 cents ex date 18May...payable 29May..evidence of its cash on hand status unlike other S chip and with contracts worth >1 $ Billion,Epure is set to soar so don't miss the boat
haha epure is a strong player in water play. Worth buying.
But i have to correct you, sino env is nt yet collapse lo.. haha

It's time to buy Epure with dividend $8 per 1000 shares ex date 18may,i ensure before or after this date it will soar again,ever hit a high of >$2.This counter is tightly held by Asean Finance Corp and hence limited scripts in play,when it moves then U'll realise its potential.Hovering around 30-35cts since Jan 2009,at this price of 47cts still OK to load up.Last year 1 for 3 stocksplit is to ehance its liquidity,strong buy.Very few waste treatment plant in PRC with collapse of Sino-E,this is definitely a good stock to keep
