DBS Group Holdings Ltd Continued rise in NII while fee income recovers
SINGAPORE | BANKING| 1Q23 RESULTS 1Q23 earnings of S$2.57bn were above our estimates due to higher net interest income (NII) and fee income. 1Q23 PATMI is 28% of our FY23e forecast. 1Q23 DPS is raised 17% YoY to 42 cents. NII surged 50% YoY to S$3.27bn on NIM expansion of 66bps to 2.12% despite loan growth remaining flat YoY. Fee income decline moderated to 4% YoY and grew 29% QoQ, while other non-interest income grew 39% YoY. DBS lowered its guidance for FY23e, with NIM guidance from 2.10% to 2.05-2.10%; loan growth guidance from mid-single digit to 3-5%; and fee income guidance from double-digit to high-single digit. Maintain BUY with an unchanged target price of S$41.60. We maintain FY23e earnings as we lower NII estimates for FY23e due to lower loans growth and NIMs, offset by lower operating expenses and provisions estimates. We assume 1.90x FY23e P/BV and ROE estimate of 16.6% in our GGM valuation.

Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust ($1.36, up 3 cents) announced 1HFY23 revenue of S$208.0 million and Adjusted Net Property Income of S$155.9 million for 1HFY23, representing decreases of 11.7% and 13.4% respectively, from S$235.7 million and S$180.1 million. The year-on-year decreases were mainly due to the absence of contribution from Cross Street Exchange which was divested on 31 March 2022, and weaker exchange rates for the foreign currencies against the Singapore Dollar over the period. Distributable income for 1HFY23 was correspondingly lower at S$130.8 million, from S$142.1 million a year ago. The distribution per unit (“DPU”) for 1HFY23 was 3.52 Singapore cents, representing a decrease of 8.6% from 3.85 Singapore cents in 1HFY22. The 1HFY23 DPU will be paid on 15 June 2023.

Corporate share buy-backs have also been consistent and will likely resume after the blackout period given it has just renewed its mandate. With a positive 1Q23E ahead and an undemanding valuation, we maintain BUY on an unchanged TP of SGD1.29, based on 11x FY23E P/E. Read more... |
