Stocks In Focus SG (IHH Healthcare, Jardine C&C, Thai Bev) – 27/02/15

IHH Healthcare’s revenue gained 8.8 percent to RM1.9 billion for the fourth quarter ended 31 December 2014, bolstered by higher contributions at Parkway Pantai and Acibadem Holdings. However, a multiple-fold gain in income tax expense and non-controlling interest has offset most of the amount in the bottom line. Nevertheless, net profit gained 4 percent to RM239.2 million. For the full year, revenue was up 8.7 percent to RM7.3 billion while earnings were up 19.5% to RM754.3 million. The company has declared a first and final dividend per share of RM0.03.

Jardine Cycle & Carriage’s revenue for the year ended 31 December 2014 fell 5.6 percent to US$18.7 million, led by a decline in contribution from Astra as a result of the depreciation in the Indonesia Rupiah. Subsequently, net profit was down 10.4 percent to US$820.2 million. The group has declared a final dividend per share of US$0.67.

Noble Group’s revenue was 4.2 percent higher to US$85.8 billion for the year ended 31 December 2014, boosted by higher contributions from the energy segment that were partially offset by lower contributions at its metals, minerals and ores segment. However, amid the incurrence of losses on supply chain assets that came in in excess of 500 percent, net profit dropped 45.8 percent to US$132 million. The company has declared an interim dividend per share of US$0.007.

Singapore Technologies Engineering registered a 1.4 percent slid in revenue to $6.5 billion for the year ended 31 December 2014, led by decreased contributions from the electronics and land systems business segments. Despite an 81.3 percent fall in net financing costs to $1.6 million, net profit was down 8.4 percent to $532 million. The company has declared a final and special dividend per share of $0.04 and $0.07 respectively.
