Bumitama Agri (BAL SP) 3Q23 results: Beat expectations yet again
Key attraction lies with its high dividend yields 3Q23 results beat our/street estimates. Key outperformance was its better-than-expected sales on net inventory drawdown and lower-thanexpected fertiliser application. We expect a weaker QoQ performance in 4Q as output has likely peaked in 3Q, and as BAL has a normalised inventory levels as at end-Sept. Following our revised EPS forecasts, BAL remains a BUY with a higher TP of SGD0.94 (previously SGD0.89) on unchanged 8x FY23E PER, -0.5SD its 5Y mean. BUY for its single-digit PER with >7% dividend yields.

ComfortDelGro (CD SP) Staying on track
3Q23 results in line; maintain BUY 3Q23 PATMI of SGD49.9m (+9.2% QoQ; +54.5% YoY) was broadly in line with our and market expectations. 9M23 core earnings rose 9.6% YoY to SGD128.4m, or about 75%/72% of MIBG/consensus full-year estimates. The sequential improvement was underpinned by steady performance in both its Public Transport and Taxi & Private Hire segments. We tweak our FY23- 25E EPS by 3-4% due to slightly better EBIT margin assumptions. Retain BUY with a higher DCF-based TP of SGD1.55 (8.3% WACC and 0.5% longterm growth) from SGD1.50.

SEA (SE US) 3Q23: Results In Line; 4Q23 Could Be Better Due To Seasonality
SEA’s 9M23 earnings were in line at 85% of our full-year estimate; 3Q23 net loss was expected due to increased sales and marketing expenses for its e-commerce segment despite revenue growth. We expect 4Q23 earnings to improve qoq with all segments seeing improvement during the festive season. However, e-commerce margin may remain low due to the high trade-off cost. Maintain BUY with a target price of US$72.25.
