CapitaLand's share price continues to offer compelling value: OCBC

Below is the highlight from the research note of OCBC Investment Research on CapitaLand May 25, 2011.

CapitaLand's (CAPL) serviced residence business unit, The Ascott Limited (Ascott), announced it has acquired two new management contracts in Malaysia and Indonesia. The 200-unit Somerset Damansara Uptown Petaling Jaya is Ascott's first entry in Damansara Uptown, Malaysia, and is slated to open in 2016. The 187-unit Somerset Kencana Jakarta in Indonesia is expected to open in 2014. Ascott also acquired, for S$117.1m, 100% of SNC Costes K (SCK) and would redevelop its Parisian properties into a 106-unit serviced residence building "Ascott Arc de Triomphe Paris" and another apartment building for corporate leases. We believe CAPL is likely to continue to execute its serviced residences strategy expediently. Including this Paris acquisition, capital redeployment increased to $452m after a portfolio divestment to Ascott Residence Trust in 2HQ10. In our view, CAPL's share price continues to offer compelling value at current levels. Maintain BUY with fair value estimate of $4.05 (at parity to RNAV).

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
