CHINA GAOXIAN, CJ FERTILIZER: What analysts now say....
Written by The NextInsight Team
Tuesday, 02 March 2010
Allen Jiao, an analyst with UOB Kay Hian Research, says: "Gaoxian is trading at 2.5x 2010F PE and 2.1x 2011F PE, reflecting a more than 50% discount to its Singapore-listed peers’ 2010F PE. The Group’s current valuation seems attractive given its more stable performance during the industry downturn and its superior growth prospects. We reiterate our BUY recommendation with target price remaining at S$0.40." Read more here.
COURAGE MARINE: Profit rebound in Q4, surprising 3.7% dividend yield
Written by Leong Chan Teik
Tuesday, 02 March 2010
Chairman Hsu Chih-chien, 51.
COURAGE MARINE'S Q4 was a profitable quarter (US$2.948 m) after three consecutive quarters of losses, saving the full-year result from being a loss-making one.
The net profit was US$75,000 for the full year, which is teeny weeny, but Courage Marine has proposed a first and final dividend of 0.472 US cent.
That's a dividend yield of 3.7%, which some shareholders will certainly appreciate.

Better to be an active trader?
Reader: Stocks have been on a roller coaster, which have made me question the wisdom of a buy - and - hold strategy. Seems like it's better to just take a decent profit when it becomes available, & hope to be able to buy back cheaper later. What do experts say?

Design Studio is completing its work on the Marina Bay Sands Integtrated Resort.
KIM ENG RESEARCH: "As Design Studio’s earnings approach the $50m-mark in the next 3-5 years, the stock is on track to become a multi-bagger. Its attractive valuation at just 3.8x ex-cash PER, coupled with strong cash position with zero bank borrowings makes Design Studio a desirable M&A target."
