KEP Comes Back With A Higher Revised Offer
We believe KEP’s higher offer for SPH of S$2.35 is a compelling one given that it gives SPH’s shareholders a much quicker way to monetise their investments since: a) it has received all regulatory approvals, and b) any competing offer can only occur after KEP’s scheme meeting thus materially delaying any such competing offer. From SPH’s perspective, the revised offer values SPH at a premium and more importantly avoids the scenario where assets are cherry-picked. Thus, we recommend to ACCEPT THE OFFER.

Valuetronics (VALUE SP) Many near term headwinds
1HFY22 missed on cost pressures 1HFY22 PATMI of HKD56.6m (-38.1% YoY) missed, accounting for only 39%/41% of our and consensus’ FY22E estimates. This was largely due to cost pressures that eroded margins. We slash FY22-24E EPS by 20-27% to factor in an environment with lower-than-historical margins. D/G to SELL with lower TP SGD0.50, as we roll forward to 10.6x FY23E P/E.
