Genting Singapore (GENS SP) Journey of recovery begins with this step
Upgrade to BUY with higher TP of SGD0.95 (+22%) Phase 3 of Singapore’s reopening will begin on 28 Dec 2020. In addition, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will arrive soon and Singapore will gradually reopen its borders. Our earnings estimates are unchanged but we lower our WACC from 14.5% to 11.8% as we revert to the five year mean beta of 1.2x (1.5x previously) and roll forward our valuation base year from endFY20E to end-FY21E to derive a revised DCF-based TP of SGD0.95 (from SGD0.78). Upgrade GENS to BUY (from HOLD).

Gaming – Malaysia A Leading COVID-19 Vaccine-led Recovery Play
Despite the commendable stock price recoveries since promising COVID-19 vaccine efficacy data were revealed by Pfizer-Moderna in Nov 20, the casino subsector still promises significant capital recoveries as valuations are expected to partially price in 2022 earnings (full earnings recovery to pre-pandemic levels). Near-term catalysts include partial border reopening and special dividends. Both the casino and NFO subsectors feature generous dividend yields. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

Steel – China Soaring Iron Ore Price Weighing On Margins; Prefer Flat Over Long Products
Global iron ore price spiked to a record high of US$155/tonne on 11 Dec 20, driven by optimism on China steel mills’ demand outlook and potential supply disruption. On the other hand, CRC spread has been improving in 4Q20, on the back of strong downstream demand recovery. Looking ahead, we prefer flat products (CRC/HRC) over long products (rebar) as we foresee better demand recovery outlook from the automobile, home appliances and machinery sectors. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT.
