| Valution and recommendation |
Earnings cut by 6.2-9.1%
We cut FY20F sales by 7.3% to account for the production disruptions/demand uncertainty arising from the Covid-19 outbreak.
While our segmental revenue growth forecasts for FY21-22F are unchanged (Figure 6), the lower base in FY20F leads to a negative 7.2% change in revenue forecasts for these two years.
EPS forecasts for FY20F/21F/22F are reduced by 9.1%/8.1%/6.2%.
Given our earnings cut, our FY20F BVPS falls to S$1.92 from S$1.93 previously. |
| Trough valuation |
During the GFC, Sunningdale’s share price troughed at S$0.75 in 2009.
