3 Exit Strategies When Crisis Stock Becomes Profits (Tianjin Da Ren Tang)(丰收季节)

Posted on April 17, 2023 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

With strong recovery of China / Hong Kong stocks after ending of zero COVID policy and strong rebound of US technology stocks with consistently lower inflation rates, some giant stocks surge to new historical high in share prices. This is a good problem to have for stock investor or trader when there are high capital gains (eg. more than 2 times).

Knowing What to Buy and When to Buy help to start the investing journey at the right time and right direction. However, knowing When to Sell (take profits) or How Long to Hold with alignment to own personality is the ultimate plan.

Let’s learn from Dr Tee on 3 Exit Strategies When a crisis stock becomes highly profitable (丰收季节). A recent Dr Tee Graduate success of a giant stock, Tianjin Pharmaceutical Da Ren Tang (SGX: T14 / China Shanghai: 600329) is applied as an example.

Congratulations to readers who may have taken action on Tianjin Da Ren Tang (strong fundamental China healthcare giant stock, dual listing in SGX and China) mentioned in Dr Tee articles on 2 Oct 2020 ($0.79 share price, Cyclic & Dividend investing), 31 Aug 2021 ($1.32 share price, Growth / Dividend investing) and 17 Feb 2023 ($1.30 share price, Growth / Momentum trading), as well as recent public webinar on 25 Mar 2023 ($1.39 share price, Momentum trading). Current share price (17 Apr 2023) is $2.26, exceeding the Ein55 intrinsic value of $1.50 mentioned, aiming for >$2.50 high Ein55 Optimism price with more greed recently.

Dr Tee graduates were assigned homework on this stock in May 2020 ($0.68 share price, low Ein55 Optimism level for Cyclic + Growth + Dividend + Undervalue investing, see chart below) and again in July 2021 ($1.20 share price), not only share price has climbed up with over 3X capital gains ($0.68 to $2.26), also enjoying an enormous dividend yield = (dividend / price) = ($0.17/$0.68) = 25%, after dividend payments have grown 4X over the 3 years, supported by strong earnings (>70% business is Traditional Chinese Medicine, remaining is western medicine, etc).

Unlike other business (eg. technology / glove) which may have huge earnings surge during the first 2 years of pandemic (then suffer when both earnings and share prices are corrected post pandemic as the high business growth is not sustainable), Tianjin Da Ren Tang has been consistent and sustainable in business growth before / during / post pandemic. With ending of zero COVID policy in China, Tianjin Da Ren Tang enjoys the free ride together to higher Ein55 Optimism level, exceeding intrinsic value (about $1.50) and driven by market greed recently towards high Ein55 Optimism >$2.50.

The stock formerly was named Tianjin Zhongxin, after change in major shareholder, later renamed to Tianjin Da Ren Tang, partly to reflect its true historical value for the past century (eg. comparable with the same TCM school of more famous Beijing Tong Ren Tang). Tianjin Da Ren Tang is relatively less well known to global investors (unlike other Top 10 largest TCM or healthcare stocks in China) which makes it significantly undervalue, especially for dual listed stock in SGX vs China (eg. on 4 Nov 2022, share price was US$1/share in SGX but RMB 28.26 / 6.87 = US$ 4.11), about 4X price difference in the past, but Tianjin Da Ren Tang in SGX catches up recently to narrow down the gap with China listed stock to (40.08 / 6.87) / 2.26 = 2.6 times on 17 Apr 2023.

Even so, it is still over 2X difference between SGX and Shanghai listed stock, therefore there have been some speculations that SGX listed stock (about 1/3 total shares) may be acquired one day. In fact, when there was a change in major shareholder a few years ago, due to regulation, a low-ball offer (less than US$1) was proposed but this was just for formality, “acquisition” was not successful. In fact, Tianjin shares in SG are mostly owned by retail investors, major shareholders (who own 2/3 shares in China) would need to buy up significantly (relative to 2.6X difference of China stock) if the stock may be acquired to delist one day.

By right, both 1/3 SGX stock and 2/3 China Shanghai stock should have close to 1:1 share price since stock value is the same. Therefore, the earlier 4X undervalue of SGX listed of Tianjin Da Ren Tang has make it an excellent dividend stock, especially its dividend is doubled during recent announcement on 31 Mar 2023, together with 2X in earlier 2 years, total of 4X dividend growth in 4 years, resulting in an unbelievable 25% dividend yield for medium term investors who could take action 3 years ago ($0.68 in May 2020 for Dr Tee graduates).

While celebrating the success for Tianjin Da Ren Tang with 3X Capital Gains and 25% Dividend Yield, an investor or trader may worry when to exit. If sell too early, one may regret as stock may goes up further to higher Ein55 Optimism level driven by greed and social media publicity. If sell too late, the rally may be over, corrected back to square one, less profitable. Therefore, even making profits could be a headache, although it is a good problem to have.

Let’s apply 3 Exit Strategies of Dr Tee with LOFTP (Level / Optimism / Fundamental / Technical / Personal) Strategies to take profits. This is not limited to Tianjin Da Ren Tang (one has to make own decision aligning to own personality), may be applied to any giant stock with profits gained so far.

1) Contrarian Sell (Counter-trend)
Similar to “Buy Low” at Low Optimism with bearish prices, a contrarian investor may sell at High Optimism (eg. >$2.50 for Tianjin Da Ren Tang) with bullish uptrend prices (counter trend). Contrarian is against the majority, eg Buy when others were fearful 3 years ago during pandemic and Sell when others are greedy one day (eg. current market).

However, this strategy requires to know where is Low or High (eg. need knowledge of Ein55 Optimism with intrinsic value of a stock), else Buy Low may get lower (worst may go bankrupt for a junk stock with weak business), Sell High may get higher (>2-10X). A useful finetuning strategy is selling progressively (eg. sell 10% share whenever price is up by 10%, selling 100% when it is up by 100% or 2X). This is similar to an investor who “Average Down” (entry in batches) to Buy Low a few years ago. The weakness of this method is potential profits could be limited with progressive sell, balanced by the benefits of multiple more predictable exit points.

A special smart strategy is to sell 50% shares whenever stock price is 2X (eg. Tianjin Da Ren Tang from $0.68 to $1.36, or from $1 to $2, exit price depending on entry prices X2). This way, the initial capital of an investor is recovered (assuming commission and dividends are neglected), this would give confidence to an investor to take higher risk to hold longer time for the remaining 50% shares, aiming for even higher prices as psychologically, the investor knows that one will not make a loss anymore when 50% profits are taken with 2X prices, even a company may go bankrupt in future.

Assuming there is a good problem to have, share price goes up by another 2X after selling 50%, then an investor may sell 50% of remaining 50% = 25% when share price is 4X (eg. Tianjin Da Ren Tang from $0.68 to $2.72). Continue to sell 50% each time on remaining shares if any stock may become rocket high next time (eg. buy IFAST stock last time during pandemic at $1, sell 50% when come to $2, sell 25% when come to $4, sell 12.25% when come to $8, only left 12.25% shares today, else IFAST stock is corrected to below $5 currently if buy & hold till today).

2) Follow-trend Sell
Many retail investors and traders are more suitable for trend-following trading, eg. Buy a stock (low or fair or high price) with support of stronger uptrend prices. Similarly, they feel “safer” or more comfortable to sell when trend is reversed from uptrend to downtrend. This requires knowledge of share price reversal, eg. application of Technical Analysis, however one may regret after selling as the signal could be too fast, eg. taking 10% profits but stock may continue to go up over 2X, unless the traders continue to buy back again in future to follow the uptrend.

A more practical trend-following is to define own personality first, eg. short term, medium term or long term. This way, one may identify the right indicator to sell (aligned to earlier buy signal). A simple but smart strategy is to apply a trailing stop with X% correction during uptrend price, short term trader may sell when it corrects down by 5-10% one day (eg. Sell if Tianjin Da Ren Tang drops by 10% or around $0.22), medium term trader may wait for 10-20% (eg. Sell if Tianjin Da Ren Tang drops by 20% or around $0.44), long term investor may even able to tolerate >20-30% (acceptable since they have hold with over 2-3X capital gains).

Alternatively, a trader may finetune with any systematic trading system (eg. moving averages crossover, MACD, stochastic, breakout of support/resistance, etc), daily, weekly or monthly, following own personality (buy & sell every few weeks, months or years). Success trend-following is when the system matches own personality, else it would be a failure (eg. feeling of selling too early or too late).

Personality is usually ignored by investors / traders, especially for beginners, who simply busy looking for the “secret method” to make money in stocks. Ein55 Optimism has considered effects of personality in both Buy / Sell signals, integrating with LOFTP strategies.

3) No Sell (Hold)
In fact, the last exit option is not to exit at all, which may be holding for long term or lifetime, especially when business is intact, still growing consistently each year. It means an investor may ignore the share prices volatility or even stock crisis, mainly monitoring the business performance (eg. earnings, revenue, cashflow and many other key fundamental indicators from 3 financial statements).

By the way, Tianjin Da Ren Tang is a very cyclic stock (eg. price could drop over 60% during past stock crisis, partly due to cyclic China and SG stock markets), may not be suitable for Buy and Hold strategy, unless it may evolve from cyclic to growth and dividend investing over time. With recent strong dividend growth (despite recent 2X dividend growth may not be sustainable as this is not supported by 2X earnings, only up by >10% earnings, share prices is mainly driven up due to large gap between SG and China listed stock, as well as market greed), it starts to evolve gradually.

For Buy & Hold long term or lifetime, an investor may need 10-20 giant stocks in a portfolio (eg. 50% dividend stocks + 50% growth stocks) for diversification. Stock price (usually cyclic) may not always reflect business fundamental (even it continues to grow). If 25% dividend yield may be sustainable (may not be unless Tianjin Da Ren Tang continues to grow >10% in earnings each year), then an investor has an option to hold a stock as it only takes 4 years of dividend x 25% yearly to recover the initial capital with holding of stocks. Current dividend yield for Tianjin Da Ren Tang is 8% (still high relative to other dividend stocks) based on current share price >$2.

Buy Low Hold Dividend with Global REITS (为善最乐)

Posted on November 16, 2021 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

In recent 12^thEin55 Charity Course on Global REITs, we have raised fund of $24,000 to help needy families in Singapore. Under the spirit of charity, Dr Tee decides to share 3 Global Giant REITs with opportunities to Buy Low in 3 countries with readers (detailed strategies including Ein55 Optimism levels, Ein55 intrinsic values and Dividend Yield will be shared):

1) Singapore Giant REIT – Keppel DC REIT (SGX: AJBU)

2) Malaysia Giant REIT – Pavilion REIT / PAVREIT (Bursa: 5212)

3) Hong Kong / China Giant REIT – Link REIT (HKEx: 823)

Dr Tee, Ein55 Mentors & Graduates have together organized 12 charity investment courses (REITs in Nov 2015, May 2017, May 2019 and Nov 2021, High Dividend Stocks in Mar 2016, Oct 2017 and Nov 2019, Global Growth Stocks in Apr 2018 and Nov 2020, and Discounted NAV Stocks in Sep 2016, Nov 2018 and May 2021) in the past 6 years, donating net income of around $246,000 to Tzu Chi 慈济 Singapore.

We hope to inspire more Ein55 Graduates to reach out the society, helping others who are in need. More importantly, they have also learned the secrets of making money through investment. When more Ein55 Graduates are successful financially, they could also contribute back to the society to help more people in future.

Singapore and overseas REITs are popular investment for passive income through stable dividend stocks. By law, REITs have to redistribute 90% taxable income (from property rental income) back to shareholders in the form of dividend. Therefore, a retail investor could play the role of landlord of giant property (shopping malls, commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, etc) with minimal capital (could be less than $1000), saving the hassle to buy/sell property (REIT manager would help), no need to deal with tenants or operations (property manager would help). Singapore REITs are exempted from corporate tax, therefore an Singapore investor could gain extra 1-2% rental or dividend yield compared with overseas REITs.

However, ordinary dividend investors (REIT / non-REIT) collect minimal passive incomes (eg. around 3-10% dividend yield) but long term growth may be limited (eg. Singtel (SGX: Z74) or SPH (SGX: T39)) and there could be high risk of capital loss with junk REIT (eg. Eagle Hospitality Trust (SGX: LIW) which has become bankrupt).

A smarter way of dividend investing is to wait patiently to Buy Low (low Ein55 Optimism during stock crisis) for a portfolio of 10 giant global REITs (or non-REIT dividend stocks) with reasonably strong business, waiting patiently (collecting consistent dividend during winter time of stock) for recovery of REIT with capital growth.

After the fear is fading, besides the minimal dividend yield (typically 3-10%), a smart dividend investor may choose to Sell High (cash out as opportunity fund to wait for next stock crisis to Buy Low again, especially for cyclic stocks including REITs) or hold long term for growth investing (for growth REIT), even possible for lifetime investing (selling one day only when need money or when it is no longer a giant stock based on Dr Tee criteria).

The best time to buy global giant REITs is always during global stock crisis (eg. Year 2020-2021 during pandemic, 2008—2009 during subprime crisis, etc), not only able to maximize the dividend yield (due to lower entry share price), also could have higher potential of capital gains (when market cycle moves from fear in low optimism to greed in high optimism). Global REITS investing is not based on dividend strategy (collect dividends as passive incomes) alone, may be integrated with cyclic investing (Buy Low Sell High), growth investing (Buy Low & Hold), swing trading, momentum trading, defensive investing and other Ein55 strategies.

There are thousands of global REITS (started in US a few decades ago, extending to the world, become popular in Asia). However, not all the global REITs listed are giant stocks. A growing business or consistent dividend payment in the past may not be sustainable during COVID-19 period and a REIT may remain lagging in share prices for many years, could end up as a crisis stock. Fundamental Analysis alone is not sufficient, a low PB or low PE or high dividend yield stock may be a value trap as this may be the result of lower share price with weakening businesses. Therefore, deeper analysis is required with LOFTP (Level, Optimism, Fundamental, Technical, Personal Analysis) Strategies.

Let’s learn these 3 global giant REITs in 3 countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong), understanding the business nature, investment clock and unique strategy.

1) Singapore Giant REIT – Keppel DC REIT (SGX: AJBU)

In the internet era with more 5G applications, data usage will be enormous with explosive growth for next decade. So, Keppel DC Reit is positioned nicely to host data storage, collecting consistent growing rental as passive incomes. Keppel DC Reit has nearly 100% business in data center (recently extending to related business such as partnership with M1) while Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U) has about 1/3 businesses in this growing sector. Mapletree Industrial Trust is the largest Data Center REIT in Singapore but share price (near to fair value) currently is not as attractive as Keppel DC Reit, therefore not a focus in this article.

Over the past 5 years, Keppel DC Reit has experienced 3X in share prices from $1 to peak of $3 but the gains is not limited to share price appreciation. Its dividend is doubled every few years, therefore suitable to position as mid-fielder stock to have a balance of both growth (price appreciation) and dividend (passive income).

After reaching 100% Optimism level during peak of pandemic, Keppel DC Reit has experienced slower growth with sector rotation. The prices over the past 1 year has been bearish, declining by about 20%, falling to low optimism <25% currently, creating another rare opportunity for long term investor with dividend yield about 4%. However, due to bearish price trend, it is currently more suitable for contrarian investor who could apply Average Down strategy to minimize the risk of “Buy Low get lower”.

Therefore, similar to many other crisis giant stocks at low Ein55 Optimism level (eg. Top Glove (SGX: BVA / Bursa: 7113), Tencent (HKEX: 700) or Alibaba (HKEX: 9988 / NYSE: BABA)), an investor may need to “Wait” for “crisis” in prices (but strong in business) to Buy Low or entering in several batches, either Average Down or Average Up, eg. wait for next mini rally to Buy slightly Higher (only after uptrend is established for short term, eg when above $2.40-$2.50 resistance for Keppel DC Reit).

Due to defensive business nature of Keppel DC Reit, Ein55 intrinsic value is about $2.80, current price is only about 20% discount (despite low Ein55 Optimism level). It is more suitable for Buy Low and Hold Long Term, collecting 4% dividend yield (potentially doubled every few years). Keppel DC Reit has to grow bigger with more yield accretive acquisitions (eg. recent new REIT in Guangzhou of China) to sustain this high growth with many more global competitors (both demand and supply for data center increase at the same time).

2) Malaysia Giant REIT – Pavilion REIT / PAVREIT (Bursa: 5212)

PAVREIT is a young Malaysia Giant Reit, focusing in retail business. It has high concentration with 80% value in Pavilion KL Mall (second most expensive retail mall after KLCC (Bursa: 5235SS)), therefore business is affected during pandemic with lower property valuation and negative rental reversion.

Over the past 10 years, PAVREIT has doubled its share prices but behaving in a cyclical way, partly due to cyclical retail business and dynamic political economy (changes in regulations) in Malaysia. Its dividend is halved during pandemic, therefore more suitable for cyclic investing (Buy Low Sell High) while holding minimal 3% dividend yield.

After reaching high Optimism level before pandemic, PAVREIT has experienced weaker earnings and cashflow, especially after a few yield dilutive acquisition of smaller malls (eg. Damen Mall). The prices over the past 1 year has been bearish, declining by about 30%, falling to low optimism <25% currently, creating good opportunity for medium term investor with dividend yield about 3%. However, it is more suitable for cyclic investor or trader to apply Buy Low Sell High strategy. Average up strategy (need to overcome $1.45-$1.50 resistance to establish short term bullish trend) may be integrated as dividend yield is lower with weaker business (worst of pandemic likely is over), may not suitable to buy for long term (unlike Keppel DC Reit which is possible to average down with strong business).

Due to medium term cyclical business nature of PAVREIT, Ein55 intrinsic value is about $1.70, current price is only about 20% discount (despite low Ein55 Optimism level). It is more suitable for Buy Low Sell High in medium term (a few years), collecting 3% dividend yield while waiting for pandemic recovery in Malaysia for additional capital gains. Political instability and weak economy in Malaysia are potential threats for Bursa stocks, including but not limited to PAVREIT.

3) Hong Kong / China Giant REIT – Link REIT (HKEx: 823)

Link REIT is the largest REIT in Hong Kong and Asia, about 2 times bigger than CICT (SGX: C38U) which is the largest Singapore REIT). It is also the 3^rd largest retail REIT in the world, after Simon Property (NYSE: SPG) and Realty Income (NYSE: O) of US REITs. Link REIT has 80% value in Hong Kong (retail malls and carparks), 20% overseas.

Over the past 10+ years, Link REIT has grown its share prices by 10 times to peak of about $99 before pandemic with support of high growth businesses mainly in Hong Kong. Its dividend is stable during pandemic but high growth is slower (eg. rental reversion is reduced from 20+% in the past to 10+% in recent years), therefore still suitable for growth investing (Buy Low & Hold) while holding 4% dividend yield (would increase over the years with more expansion beyond Hong Kong, especially in mainland China).

After reaching high Optimism level before pandemic, Link REIT has experienced slower growth, price was corrected significantly by about 40% from $99 to about $57. The share price over the past 1 year has gradually recovered from low optimism <25%, despite uncertain political economy (eg. tighter market regulations by China authority) with bearish Hong Kong stock market, creating a rare opportunity for long term investor with dividend yield about 4%.

Link REIT is the most flexible among 3 global REITs discussed in this article, possible to apply either Average Down strategy (similar to Keppel DC Reit with strong business) or Average Up strategy (good price trend in short term). Its potential short term risk (or opportunity) is the bearish Hong Kong stock market which could slowdown its price growth (but little impact on business growth), share prices supported above $70 is a nice balance to consider as common entry point for both long term investors and short term traders, although each may have different price targets for exits.

Due to major correction during pandemic, Ein55 intrinsic value is about $100, current price is about 30% discount (still at low Ein55 Optimism level). Link REIT is an all rounded REIT, may be considered for dividend investing (Buy Low & Hold for dividend growth), cyclic investing (Buy Low Sell High), growth investing (Buy Low & Hold for capital gains) or even short term trading (Buy Low Sell high in short to medium terms). However, full mastery of each unique Ein55 investing or trading strategy is critical for ultimate success, especially on when to sell or how long to hold, not just on what to buy or when to buy.

=====================================

Readers may read earlier article by Dr Tee for more details on 100 Singapore Dividend Stocks (REIT / non-REIT):
https://www.ein55.com/2021/03/100-singapore-dividend-stocks-and-reits-for-retirement/

Not all global REITS are giant stocks, some could be junk stocks (eg. making losses or asking investors for reserved passive incomes through rights issues). Even for a giant stock, it requires at least yearly review with Dr Tee criteria to ensure it is still a giant stock or a change in strategy may be required (eg. crisis stock investing with Striker role if there is any potential high risk). Similarly, those stocks which are not highlighted in this article, some could be marginal giant stocks, may obtain the giant stock title one day, which worth longer term investing or trading.

Ideally, a smart investor should form a dream team stock portfolio (striker / mid-fielder / defender) with 10-20 giant stocks from over 3 sectors and 3 countries. REIT sector may contribute 1-2 stocks while it is important to diversify with more sectors (eg. Healthcare, Banking & Finance, F&B, Technology, Oil & Gas, Property / non-REIT, etc).

Since some REITs have overseas business, knowledge of Forex (eg. USD/SGD, SGD/HKD, SGD/MYR, etc) would be critical. A qualified REIT investor should also understand property market cycle, macroeconomy behavior, integrating with dividend investing or growth investing or cyclic / momentum trading.

70% Profits of Healthcare Giant Stock – Q&M Dental (苦尽甘来)

Posted on June 30, 2021 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Over the past 1 year of pandemic, Dr Tee has shared with Ein55 graduates, forum readers and public webinars audience on this giant healthcare stock, Q&M Dental Group (SGX: QC7) with at least 3 articles and multiple comments regularly, witnessing surging of share prices from low Ein55 Optimism of $0.40+ share price to breaking above $0.50+/share resistance, predicting the fair value with Ein55 Intrinsic Value of $0.70/share, today is already $0.80/share (about 70% to 100% profits if an investor could buy & hold for over 1 year), moving towards next target of greedy price of high Ein55 Optimism at about $1/share.

Let’s learn from Dr Tee on this journey of making money and how to take action from now, assuming today is the first time you read Dr Tee educational article on global giant stocks.

Since Year 2015, Q&M Dental has been declining in share prices, mainly due to slower business growth (still profitable) and bearish market sentiment with little knowledge of this largest dental service provider in Singapore which also has dental clinics in Malaysia and China. Over the past 6 years, the share price has dropped from peak of about $0.90/share to about low of $0.35 during pandemic. For a giant stock, how it falls down (by 3 times) would imply how it may recover one day with similar scale (assuming by 3 times would be $0.35/share x 3, to about $1/share, aligning with Ein55 Optimism at high level).

Q&M Dental suffered in business temporarily in first half of pandemic but recovering quickly after Circuit Breaker was over as few people could resist tooth pains for months. Q&M Dental subsidiary, Acumen Research Lab is an HPB authorized COVID19 test service provider, providing fuel for share prices to grow with additional future earnings.

Some Ein55 graduates even invested below $0.40 – $0.50/share with contrarian dividend strategy during the worst time of pandemic. Dividend yield can be 10% with 4.3 cents/share dividend over the past 1 year if one could invest at $0.43 share price which was common in Year 2020. At current price of $0.80, beyond Ein55 Intrinsic Value of about $0.70, the dividend yield is moderate at 4%, comparable with Singapore REITs, therefore still a dividend giant stock. The gain so far with this strategy (Buy at low Ein55 Optimism of about $0.40) is about 2 times or 100% profits, able to hold as understanding Q&M Dental has economic moat, even under worst time of pandemic. Next few years would be the harvest time to enjoy the fruits, an investor has option to Sell High (following Ein55 Optimism). Due to cyclical nature of this giant stock, Buy Low Sell High strategy is more suitable than Buy Low & Hold very long term (usually for growth investing) unless the business fundamental of Q&M Dental is growing more consistently in future.

For a giant stock, regardless short term trading (price action with trend-following strategies), medium term trading (Buy Low Sell High) or long term investing (Buy Low & Hold for both dividend and price growth), all could make money, but need to take one of the actions. If there is no action, a reader always feel regret or sour feeling when reading successes of other investors, despite Q&M Dental was shared by Dr Tee before in at least 3 articles as a highly potential giant stock:

Dr Tee Article 1 posted on 24 Apr 2020 (Q&M price = $0.52)

https://www.ein55.com/2020/04/healthcare-giant-stock-qm-dental/

Dr Tee Article 2 posted on 4 Sep 2020 (Q&M price = $0.46)

https://www.ein55.com/2020/09/11-singapore-healthcare-covid-19-stocks/

Dr Tee Article 3 posted on 31 May 2021 (Q&M price = $0.68)
https://www.ein55.com/2021/05/seasonality-effect-with-ex-dividend-months-on-singapore-stock-market-2009-2021/

Another related sibling Singapore healthcare giant stock to take note is Raffles Medical Group (SGX: BSL), usually share price correlation is about 2X of Q&M which is already $0.80, implying minimum potential of Raffles Medical is about $0.80 x2 = $1.60 (currently at $1.18, still moderate low optimism, having more potential than Q&M Dental currently). For Ein55 graduates who have mastered 55 Ein55 investing styles, would know the actual potential of Raffles Medical. Don’t regret again if Dr Tee may share on this giant stock next time.

Most people regret of missing an opportunity, did not know that they don’t miss it at all, even reading today here (eg. applying short term momentum trading on Q&M Dental to Buy High Sell Highe). The key is to confirm whether it is a giant stock, then next step is to apply the right LOFTP (Level / Optimism / Fundamental / Technical / Personal Analysis) strategy on short term trading and / or long term investing based on current market condition, aligning with own unique personality.

Top 10 Global Luxury Giant Stocks (纸醉金迷)

Posted on June 5, 2021 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

We may still remember the Malaysia 1MDB news a few years ago on millions of ringgit worth of luxury products (handbags –Bijan / Hermes / Gucci, jewelry, watches – Rolex / Patek Philippe) discovered as “gifts” to a lucky family. In fact, smart investors could profit from these luxury products in a legal way with stock investing, leveraging on global rich people with extravagant spending.

In this article, you will learn from Dr Tee on Top 10 Global Luxury Giant Stocks of 4 Countries for longer term investing and / or short term trading with COVID-19 recovery stock rally. Bonus for readers who could read every word of the entire article, learning unique strategy to position in each giant luxury stocks, including Ein55 Optimism level and Ein55 Intrinsic Value.

1) France Giant Luxury Stock: LVMH (EPA: MC), Hermes (EPA: RMS), Kering (EPA: KER)

2) US Giant Luxury Stock: Estee Lauder (NYSE: EL), PVH (NYSE: PVH)

3) Singapore Giant Luxury Stock: The Hour Glass (SGX: AGS), Cortina Holdings (SGX: C41)

4) HK Giant Luxury Stock: Chow Tai Fook (HKEx: 1929), Chow Sang Sang (HKEx: 116), Luk Fook (HKEx: 590)

Stocks with luxury products (eg. branded handbags, expensive gold jewelry, luxury watches, etc) are consumer discretionary stocks (纸醉金迷), usually following the economic cycle, very bullish during bull run (eg. last 1 year of pandemic recovery), very bearish during global financial crisis (eg. Q1 of 2020 pandemic, 2008-2009 subprime crisis, etc). Therefore, mastery of investment clock would help on cyclical luxury stocks to Buy Low Sell High.

However, there are some growth luxury giant stocks which are suitable with Buy Low and Hold long term strategy due to the fact that rich would become richer (sadly to say, may imply poor become poorer, especially those who don’t know investment, depending only on active income from 1 job) when global financial crisis is over. Therefore, the luxury product businesses of growth giant stocks could continue to grow for many decades, especially having a strong intangible asset of famous brands (status of rich people who are willing to pay more).

During COVID-19 pandemic, most luxury stocks suffer in businesses mainly due to temporary lower spending power of rich people and limited tourists who could be main customers in the past. With pandemic recovery (over last 1 year and likely for next 1 year) and availability of online purchases, both businesses and share prices of giant luxury stocks have been growing steadily. When international borders are fully opened one day after global vaccination of COVID-19, the business growth would be accelerated.

A giant stock may not need to be big in size, even a small company could be a giant stock. There are hundreds of luxury stocks globally but some could be junk stocks, Buy Low may become lower in share prices with declining businesses. Let’s study Top 10 Global Giant Luxury Stocks (following Dr Tee criteria), some are recovering from lower optimism in 4 global stock exchanges interested by readers:

1) France Giant Luxury Stock:

LVMH (EPA: MC), Hermes (EPA: RMS), Kering (EPA: KER)

Asian investors may not familiar with European stock market. In fact, France has the most famous luxury products brands in the world, many giant stocks are listed under Euronext Paris Stock Exchange (EPA) which is accessible to global investors. A smart investor would diversify investment over a portfolio of 10-20 global giant stocks in several countries, which may include No 6 largest economy in the world, France, which is famous for its people creativity (despite may not be as hardworking as Asian people).

LVMH (Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton) is the world largest luxury product, including many famous brands such as Hennessy (wine), LV, Christian Dior, etc. The major shareholder, Bernard Arnault, recently becomes the World No 1 Richest person as LVMH share prices have outperformed No 2 (Jeff Bezos of Amazon) and No 3 (Elon Musk of Tesla). Ein55 Optimism level is over 80%, current price is far exceeding Ein55 Intrinsic value, more suitable with short term momentum trading strategy (Buy High Sell Higher), requiring S.E.T. (Stop Loss / Entry / Target Prices) trading plan.

Similar to LVMH, Hermes is also a family owned business but much smaller in business size, famous with luxury handbags (some rich people wives may have no resistance over them, becoming a collector with millions of dollars spent). However, Hermes is a much stronger growth stock than LVMH, business is so good that even LVMH was hoping to acquire it but mission failed many years ago. Ein55 Optimism level is near to 90%, suitable for both growth investing and momentum trading, but ideal entry point may be to wait for a global financial crisis, especially for longer term investors.

Dr Tee discussed both LVMH and Hermes as stock homework with Ein55 graduates about 2 years ago, even with over 30% share price correction during pandemic crisis, both stocks have achieved 70% potential gains so far. Both are excellent examples of growth stock investing, even if an investor did not sell during global stock crisis, growth giant stocks could recover faster to achieve a new high in future. The main enemy of an investor is usually oneself, especially when a giant stock with growing business is significantly corrected in share prices due to market fear.

Kering is No 4 largest luxury stock in the world, famous of brands such as Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, etc. Kering is also strong in business but slower growth compared to Hermes and LVMH, more suitable with Buy Low Sell High strategy. Ein55 Optimism level is near to 80% with pandemic recovery, more suitable for short term trading.

In fact, short term performance of LVMH, Hermes and Kering are comparable (currently bullish trends) and aligned due to similar consumer discretionary sector (Level 2) and same country (Level 3). For both short term trading and long term investor, Level Analysis would help to improve probability of success, knowing the unique market cycles (bull / bear) of each sector and country.

Readers may read earlier article by Dr Tee for more details with Top 10 World Richest Persons stocks including LVMH:
https://www.ein55.com/2021/02/top-10-world-richest-giant-stocks/

2) US Giant Luxury Stock:

Estee Lauder (NYSE: EL), PVH (NYSE: PVH)

Estee Lauder is world No 2 largest luxury stock, famous of beauty products (cosmetics, fragrance, haircare, etc). It may be relatively easier to make money from ladies than men, therefore in a typical department store, men section is usually much smaller than lady section, mainly to maximize the business revenue.

Therefore, Ester Lauder is comparable with LVMH, also strong growth in business and share prices, recovering well after the correction during pandemic. Ein55 Optimism level is over 70%, more suitable for short term momentum trading, similar strategy as LVMH and Hermes.

PVH is world No 10 largest luxury stock, famous of brands such as Calvin Klein, Van Heusen, Tommy Hilfiger, etc. However, PVH business is affected much more than other giant stocks, was making a loss during 2020 pandemic year, recovery is also slower. PVH is more cyclical in nature, may be considered with Buy Low Sell High strategy. Ein55 Optimism level is still moderate low near to 30%, aiming for Ein55 Intrinsic Value of $170.

Despite global luxury giant stocks are from different countries, there is an alignment globally (Level 4) in businesses and share prices, especially with more online purchases without travelling, people from country A may purchase a luxury product from country B easily. Consumer discretionary sector with luxury products would follow economic cycles, higher growth during bullish economy, slower growth (or declining) during bearish economy.

3) Singapore Giant Luxury Stock:

The Hour Glass (SGX: AGS), Cortina Holdings (SGX: C41)

Hour Glass and Cortina are competitors, having very similar businesses, mainly in sales of luxury watches (eg. Rolex, Patek Philippe, Hublot, etc). For regular followers of Dr Tee education articles and videos (www.ein55.com/blog), you would not miss these 2 Singapore luxury giant stocks, Hour Glass and Cortina, at lower Ein55 Optimism levels when sharing during last 1 year of pandemic.

Both giant stocks are strong growth in businesses (cash rich companies), not significantly affected during pandemic (despite fewer tourists to Singapore). However, the strategy to position is very different for each stock. Hour Glass was having more discount a few months ago, when share price was near to 80 cents, Dr Tee discussed as stock homework with Ein55 graduates, also shared in earlier articles with readers, indicating Ein55 Intrinsic Value of $1.20 which is achieved recently, having 50% potential profits in a few months for readers who do own homework and take actions decisively. Despite the current price is near to its fair value, there is potential of higher price of over $1.60 if Hour Glass could attract institutional investors or supported by market greed to higher optimism level as its competitor, Cortina.

Cortina has much higher Ein55 Optimism level (over 90% currently), therefore the positioning over the past few months has been short term momentum trading, following trends to Buy High Sell Higher. Cortina is relatively an illiquid stock with less stock trading volume, therefore it could be very volatile (+/-10% price movement) on certain days. For stock analysis, instead of daily chart (certain days having 0 trading volume), it is clearer when viewing with weekly or monthly chart. Price trends of Cortina and Hour Glass are generally aligned but Cortina has appreciated much more than Hour Glass over the past 1 year.

For medium to long term investor, Hour Glass may be relatively more suitable than Cortina as Hour Glass has higher dividend yield (3-5%, depending on entry prices) and lower Ein55 Optimism level than Cortina. Recently, Hour Glass doubles the interim dividend from 2 cents (last year) to 4 cents (this year), higher dividend has helped to push up the share prices to a new historical high, also motivating Cortina to follow the same price trends. There is also good succession plan, Hour Glass business is passed from Henry Tay to his son (Michael Tay) who has been well trained in this luxury watch industry. So, a luxury watch may be a collection for decades but a smart investor may own “thousands” of watches by investing in Hour Glass or Cortina.

Hour Glass is 2 times larger than Cortina based on market cap but both are considered medium cap stocks, therefore may not be in the radar of institutional investors yet. Cortina has acquired Sincere Watch recently, business size is considered No 2 after Hour Glass for luxury watch market in Singapore. To benefit from the entire luxury watches market, major shareholder of Hour Glass, Henry Tay, is also the second largest shareholder of Cortina, which is a competitor of Hour Glass. A smart investor may learn from Henry Tay, sometimes may invest in a few competing giant stocks of any sector of interest If they are equally good.

For small or medium cap giant stock, it is easier for share prices to move up (or down) as shares are exchanging hands within a smaller group of investors, especially when majority of shares are controlled by a few major shareholders. For example, major shareholder of Hour Glass, Henry Tay, recently adding a small percentage of own shares (known insider trading) but this is sufficient to support Hour Glass above $1/share. A smart investor would diversify over a portfolio of giant stocks with small cap <$100M (higher potential), medium cap $100M – $1B (good balance of potential and stability) and large cap >$1B (more stability).

Readers may read earlier articles (during pandemic with lower Ein55 Optimism level) by Dr Tee for more details with Singapore Growth Stocks including Hour Glass and Cortina:
https://www.ein55.com/tag/growth-stock/

4) HK Giant Luxury Stock:

Chow Tai Fook (HKEx: 1929), Chow Sang Sang (HKEx: 116), Luk Fook (HKEx: 590)

Before pandemic, some readers who travel often to Hong Kong may remember these famous jewelry shops along shopping streets: Chow Tai Fook (周大福), Chow Sang Sang (周生生) and Luk Fook (六福), which are all giant luxury stocks, making money from both local residents and overseas tourists. However, there are many luxury stocks (jewelry, watches, etc) listed in Hong Kong Stock Exchange, not all are giant stocks.

Businesses of all these 3 Hong Kong luxury giant stocks were affected, not only during the last 1 year of pandemic. In fact, even before pandemic, despite growing gold price since Year 2015, jewelry market in Hong Kong has been declining over the years, partly because the number of mainland China tourists to Hong Kong is declining with local political differences. The activists in Hong Kong over the past few years (before pandemic) have further slowdown the demand of this luxury product market.

After the enhancement of local Hong Kong law against potential activists, these 3 luxury giant stocks have started to grow gradually in businesses, supported by pandemic recovery. These 3 giant stocks have very similar trends in businesses (same sector) and share prices (same stock market) in short to medium terms. Relatively, Chow Tai Fook (world No 9 largest luxury stock) is the strongest among 3 stocks on business recovery during pandemic, short term share price is also more bullish than Chow Sang Sang and Luk Fook.

In general, Chow Sang Sang and Luk Fook are still at low Ein55 Optimism levels (less than 25%), aiming for Ein55 Intrinsic Values of about $30 (Chow Sang Sang) and $60 (Luk Fook) respectively, may be considered for cyclic investing or short term trading. They are average quality of crisis stocks due to relatively weaker businesses. Major leader of sector, Chow Tai Fook, is more suitable for trend-following short term trading.

===================================

It is easy to know “Buy Low Sell High” is universal secret to profit in most investment. However, most people dare not buy when share price of giant stocks fall to very low optimism (due to lack of visibility of how low is low). Similarly, some people may not buy when share prices of giant stocks go to very high optimism (despite possible to do short term trading). Eventually, some may buy junk stocks during speculative trading, making money for first few times, losing more in later trading when adding more position due to “confidence” of winning in the past.

It shows the importance for retail investors to master stock trading and investment skills, not only knowing but able to take actions (Buy / Hold / Sell / Wait / Shorting). Readers who could spend time to read until here is an achievement, continue the momentum to learn and apply further in stock investment after mastery of skills.

100 Singapore Dividend Stocks and REITs for Retirement (有备无患)

Posted on March 5, 2021 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Each of us would reach retirement age one day, sooner or later. Life after retirement should be the most meaningful, we could live in our preferred ways, engaging in activities of interests. However, some may not be ready financially, retirement fund is not sufficient to support the longer lifespan, ending up has to continue to work with lower pay or depending on children for financial support.

In this article, you will learn from Dr Tee on 100 Dividend Stocks and REITs in Singapore for Retirement, some may be considered for longer term investing and / or short term trading with COVID-19 recovery stock rally. Bonus for readers who could read every words of the entire article, learning unique strategy to position in 6 giant dividend stocks for both passive incomes (dividend) and capital gains with potential share price appreciation. Both Ein55 Optimism levels and intrinsic values will be shared for each giant stock:

1) Dividend Healthcare Stock: Q&M Dental (SGX: QC7)

2) Dividend Consumer Stock: The Hour Glass (SGX: AGS)

3) Dividend Property Stock: Hongkong Land (SGX: H78)

4) Dividend Technology Stock: ST Engineering (SGX: S63)

5) Dividend F&B Stock: QAF (SGX: Q01)

6) Dividend REIT: Mapletree Industrial REIT (SGX: ME8U)

During the COVID-19 stock recovery, there is a sector rotation with slower or even declining trend for global growth stocks. Investors start to pay more attention to cyclical stocks (eg. banks, properties and oil & gas sectors, etc), especially for those affected companies recovering together with pandemic with stable dividend payments.

Dividend stocks include but not limited to REITs. For REITs, by law, the company has to distribute 90% of rental incomes back to shareholders in the form of dividend. For non-REITs stocks, some companies have clear dividend payment policies (not compulsory) or consistent record in dividend payout. For some blue chip stocks, dividends payment could grow over the decades.

Dividend payment of stocks could be distributed quarterly, half yearly or yearly. A portfolio of 10-20 dividend giant stocks may be established to create a stream of consistent passive incomes, when monthly dividend is more than expenses, one could become financial free this way. The key variables would be initial capital, return (dividend yield, which is dependent on entry price and business performance) and holding period, so customization of strategies based on individual need is required.

The best time to buy a giant dividend stock is always during global stock crisis (eg. Year 2020-2021 during pandemic, 2008—2009 during subprime crisis, etc), not only able to maximize the dividend yield (due to lower entry price), also could have higher potential of capital gains (when market cycle moves from fear in low optimism to greed in high optimism). Dividend stock investing is not for dividend collection alone, may be integrated with growth investing, swing trading, momentum trading, cyclic investing, defensive investing, undervalue investing and other Ein55 strategies.

From the table sorted below for 100 Dividend Stocks and REITS in Singapore, each has growing businesses over the past decade with increasing or reasonable dividends (minimum 2% yield) and positive ROE (Return on Equity), except a few are affected temporarily by pandemic.

However, not all the dividend stocks listed are giant stocks. A growing business in the past may not be sustainable during COVID-19 period, could end up as a crisis stock. Fundamental Analysis alone is not sufficient, a high dividend yield stock may be a value trap as this may be the result of lower share price with weakening businesses. Therefore, deeper analysis is required with LOFTP (Level, Optimism, Fundamental, Technical, Personal Analysis) Strategies.

For Singapore investors, investing in Singapore dividend stocks in SGD can minimize potential forex loss (since SGD is stronger than most foreign currencies), except some stocks trading in USD or having overseas business (eg. Hongkong Land). There are also excellent dividend giant stocks in regional stock markets: Malaysia, Hong Kong or even USA.

Here, let’s focus on 6 Singapore Giant Dividend Stocks in 6 different sectors, learning the unique positioning for each stock:

1) Dividend Healthcare Stock: Q&M Dental (SGX: QC7)

A giant stock may not need to be big in size, true for Q&M Dental, a small cap healthcare stock, which is the largest dental service provider in Singapore. The company business was affected by pandemic during the first half of 2020 due to circuit breaker but quickly regain positive momentum in the second half of 2020. One could postpone certain medical treatments but it is hard to tolerate acute tooth pains, suffering in each day of waiting. Therefore, it is not surprise to see stronger businesses which would help to support higher share prices with recovery of pandemic.

Over the past 5 years, Q&M Dental share price has been declining gradually (not suitable for trading then), partly due to slower growth in company businesses and bearish market sentiment for small cap stocks. During pandemic, its share price dropped to only half of peak price ($0.80+), the lowest was below $0.40. Q&M Dental has been staying below low optimism level (below $0.50) for about 2 years, recently breaking above critical resistance of $0.50, currently at about 40% Ein55 Optimism level, still below the intrinsic value of about $0.70.

Q&M Dental is not only a dividend stock (dividend yield about 4.7%, depending on share price) with long term growth investing, it may also be considered for short term trading due to recent breakout with higher prices, showing potential rally in near future. For trading, it is crucial to have S.E.T. (Stop Loss / Entry / Target Prices) in trading plan. For example, if the prices fall back below the support (was resistance) of $0.50, then a short term trader may need to exit, even with losses, if breakout strategy is the main assumption for trading strategy.

Readers may read earlier article of Dr Tee for more details on Q&M Dental.

2) Dividend Consumer Stock: The Hour Glass (SGX: AGS)

The Hour Glass is a consumer discretionary stock with luxury watches businesses (eg. distributors for Rolex, Patek Philippe, Hublot, etc). During the first 6 months of pandemic (Apr – Sep 2020), its business has lower revenue due to fewer tourists to Singapore. With more online sales and lower expenses (stores were closed during circuit breaker), the net profit is not significantly affected.

In fact, The Hour Glass is a strong cash-rich company, cash flow grows by about 10 times over the past 5 years while share price has been staying sideways (below peak price and critical resistance of $0.85), which is a hidden gem of undervalue stock. Recently, the share price has recovered from low optimism level (below $0.80), breaking above $0.85, challenging new resistance of $1, currently over 30% Ein55 Optimism level, still below the intrinsic value of about $1.20.

The Hour Glass is not only a dividend stock (dividend yield about 4.4%, depending on share price) with longer growth investing, it may also be considered for short term trading due to recent breakout with higher prices, showing potential rally in near future. For trading, it is crucial to have S.E.T. (Stop Loss / Entry / Target Prices) in trading plan. For example, if the prices fall back below the support (was resistance) of $0.85, then a trader may need to exit, even with losses, if breakout strategy is the main assumption for trading strategy.

Both The Hour Glass and competitor, Cortina (SGX: C41), have similar businesses and even common shareholders (the largest shareholder of Hour Glass, Henry Tay, is also the second largest investor of Cortina, a rare strategy to invest in competitor to have more gains out of the luxury watches market) but Cortina has over 90% Ein55 Optimism level, more suitable for short term trading. Both stocks are “cold” stocks with relatively lower daily trading volume, therefore share price could surge or dip significantly when there are bigger players joining the trading game.

Readers may view earlier educational video by Dr Tee for more details on Cortina.

3) Dividend Property Stock: Hongkong Land (SGX: H78)

Hongkong Land is an undervalue stock with Grade-A commercial properties mainly in Hong Kong, China and Singapore. The “loss” during pandemic in Year 2020 is mainly due to accounting loss, i.e. lower property valuation. However, the cash flow is still stable, therefore able to support the dividend payment each year, including during pandemic.

Over the past 5 years, Hongkong Land share price has declined gradually from peak of $8 to half price, below $4 during pandemic. With recovery of pandemic and bullish market sentiment, its share price has recovered steadily from very low optimism level, suitable for both long term cyclic investing and even short term trading (despite slower momentum, compared with other growth stocks). Current Ein55 Optimism level is still low around 15%, potential upside with intrinsic value of about $9.

Technically, Hongkong Land behaves like a REIT at the moment, generating rental incomes (dividend yield of 4.5%, depending on share price), giving back to shareholders through dividend. It may be positioned as a slow but steady defender with protection by its undervalue asset (Price to Book ratio of 0.3 with 70% discount, assuming discounted asset strategy).

Readers may read earlier article by Dr Tee for more details on Hongkong Land.

4) Dividend Technology Stock: ST Engineering (SGX: S63)

ST Engineering is a Temasek stock (50% shares ownership), having defensive businesses through subsidiaries, eg. ST Aerospace, ST Electronics, etc, in various technological sectors. Despite net profits are affected by pandemic (especially for ST Aerospace), cash flow is still strong for ST Engineering, therefore still able to pay the dividend consistently to reward long term investors.

During pandemic, ST Engineering share price dropped below $3 to low optimism, then recovering to fair value gradually over the past 1 year. The price trends and optimism levels are generally aligned with Singapore stock market since ST Engineering is 1 of 30 STI component stocks.

Over the past decade, ST Engineering is able to pay very consistent dividend (dividend yield of 3.8%, depending on share price), including during pandemic year 2020. However, its dividend growth is limited (same dividend of 15 cents/share for the past 5 years), therefore not an ideal dividend stock for long term investing. It is also a defensive stock with relatively less price volatility compared with entire Singapore stock market, an investor could sleep soundly even during stock crisis. So, its strength of defensiveness may be also a weakness (less upside capital gains) for some investors, depending on personal objectives. Current Ein55 Optimism level is near to 50% with intrinsic value about $4, upside is limited but passive incomes of future dividend would be steady with little surprises.

Readers may read earlier article by Dr Tee for more details on other technology stocks.

5) Dividend F&B Stock: QAF (SGX: Q01)

QAF has bakery business which has excellent performance during pandemic as most people stay longer time at home during this period, therefore eating (bread and other food) at home more often. However, it does not increase the dividend payment for pandemic year 2020, still maintaining at 5 cents per share (about 5.2% dividend yield, depending on share price) for the past 5 years.

QAF is defensive in business but share price is cyclical in nature. After share price falling from peak of about $1.40 to half price (below $0.60), it started to recover with business enhanced by pandemic. Ein55 Optimism level is recovering near to 50% with intrinsic around $1. Due to its cyclical behaviour with uptrend price, besides steady yearly dividend collection, QAF may also be considered for short term trading (especially when breaking convincingly above resistance of $1).

For readers who are interested to eat QAF bread for free for lifetime with a unique strategy, may read earlier article by Dr Tee on 48 F&B stocks including QAF.

6) Dividend REIT: Mapletree Industrial REIT (SGX: ME8U)

Mapletree Industrial Trust (MIT) is also a Temasek stock, an industrial REIT with excellent business fundamental, able to pay growing dividend consistently over the past 10 years. With additional expansion into data center (about 40% of overall businesses), future business growth would be even stronger. When an investor knows “What to Buy”, the remaining key variable is “When to Buy/Sell”.

MIT share price was corrected to 0% Ein55 Optimism (an ideal investing opportunity with very fearful market) during pandemic in year 2020 but quickly recovered to 100% Ein55 Optimism (very greedy stage) in only 6 months. With sector rotation during pandemic recovery, currently MIT share price is under correction, Ein55 Optimism level falling to nearly 50% with intrinsic value around $2.70. Since over 80% REITs in Singapore are bearish in short term trend over the past 1 month, MIT is not yet suitable for short term trading nor long term investing (despite a fair price now).

When there is a chance for MIT to drop to low optimism level again, it would be a good chance to consider this stock for longer term investing. Alternatively, the price has to be stronger to be considered for short term trading with positive price trend. Currently, collection of dividend yield at about 4.6% is insufficient to balance the negative trend of short term prices. “What to Buy” does not means “Now to Buy”, both Technical Analysis (TA) and Fundamental Analysis (FA) have to be integrated with consideration of Ein55 Optimism strategies, including market greed and fear.

Another related sibling Temasek stock is Keppel DC Reit (100% businesses in data center), sharing similar price and optimism behavior, having even stronger business growth but lower dividend yield. So, actions may not be just “Buy”, may also be “Wait”. Opportunity is always for those who could wait patiently but able to take action to buy strong business at low optimism prices when others are fearful (eg. during global financial crisis).

Readers may read earlier article of Dr Tee for more details on entire 42 Singapore REITs and 16 Business Trusts, including Mapletree Industrial Trust and Keppel DC Reit.

===================================

Retirement planning is never too late (有备无患), even one has already retired, still could learn to position on a portfolio of 10-20 dividend giant stocks, integrating with growth investing or momentum trading and other Ein55 strategies (readers can learn from Dr Tee). Dividend yield of 5-10% yearly may seems little to some investors but it is only a bonus, the hidden treasure is potential enormous capital gains with price appreciation over decades, supported by growing and sustainable businesses.

For those who are youngers, need to start saving of capital, converting active income of job salary to passive income of investment (dividends & capital gains). This way, after retirement one day, these business partners of stocks could continue to work and make money for the investor, who just needs to review and rebalance portfolio yearly. The process of stock investing can be lifelong, applying the power of compounding with time to gain more in years or even decades of holding.

Zoom will be started 30 min before event, bonus talk (Q&A on any investment topics from readers) for early birds. There are many topics we will cover in this 4hr webinar, Dr Tee can have more time for Q&A if you could stay later after the webinar, you could ask on any global and local stocks including but not limited to 30 STI component stocks:

4 Global Bank Stocks with Vaccine after Phase 3 COVID-19 (苦尽甘来)

Posted on December 14, 2020 Written by Dr Tee (Ein55)

Vaccination is started globally and Singapore will enter Phase 3, bringing hope to end COVID-19 pandemic, as well as light at the end of tunnel for global bank stocks in crisis to recover with great discounted prices.

In this article, you will learn from Dr Tee on 4 Global Giant Bank Stocks of 4 Countries for longer term investing and / or short term trading with COVID-19 recovery stock rally. Bonus for readers who could read every words of the entire article, learning unique strategy to position in each giant bank stocks and also generalized strategy for all bank stocks.

1) Singapore Giant Bank Stock: OCBC Bank (SGX: O39)

2) Malaysia Giant Bank Stock: Public Bank (Bursa: 1295)

3) US Giant Bank Stock: Wells Fargo Bank (NYSE: WFC)

4) HK / China Giant Bank Stock: ICBC Bank (HKEX: 1398)

During COVID-19 pandemic, most bank stocks suffer in businesses mainly due to higher NPL (Non-Performing Loan) and very low interest rate. As a result, many global bank stocks prices are significantly corrected to low optimism level. However, “Buy Low” may not able to “Sell High” in future if a bank business is affected permanently.

Therefore, it is crucial to focus only on giant bank stocks for market cycle investing during COVID-19 stock crisis with Buy Low Sell High strategy. In general, most bank stocks would follow the global stock markets to recover in share prices, especially with improvement in bank businesses and stronger global economy after vaccination is implemented in most countries, allowing life back to normal as before COVID-19.

A giant stock may not need to be big in size, even a small company could be a giant stock. Let’s study 4 giant bank stocks (following Dr Tee criteria) recovering from low optimism in 4 stock exchanges interested by readers:

1) Singapore Giant Bank Stock: OCBC Bank (SGX: O39)

OCBC Bank is the second largest bank in Singapore, businesses during pandemic and share prices in short term (V-shape recovery) are generally aligned with DBS Bank and UOB Bank. These Top 3 largest Singapore banks have to set aside provisions to prepare for higher default and NPL. Singapore MAS also requires the local banks to limit the dividend distributions to 60% of last financial year. This has resulted OCBC Bank stock prices to fall by about 40% during COVID-19 pandemic.

There are 30 Banking & Finance Stocks in Singapore including OCBC Bank (investor has to focus only on giant stocks for investing):

AMTD IB OV (SGX: HKB), B&M Hldg (SGX: CJN), DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Edition (SGX: 5HG), G K Goh (SGX: G41), Global Investment (SGX: B73), Great Eastern (SGX: G07), Hong Leong Finance (SGX: S41), Hotung Investment (SGX: BLS), IFAST Corporation (SGX: AIY), IFS Capital (SGX: I49), Intraco (SGX: I06), Maxi-Cash Finance (SGX: 5UF), MoneyMax Finance (SGX: 5WJ), Net Pacific Finance (SGX: 5QY), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), Pacific Century (SGX: P15), Prudential USD (SGX: K6S), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), SHS (SGX: 566), Sing Investments & Finance (SGX: S35), Singapore Reinsurance (SGX: S49), Singapura Finance (SGX: S23), TIH (SGX: T55), Uni-Asia Group (SGX: CHJ), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), UOB-KAY HIAN HOLDINGS (SGX: U10), UOI (SGX: U13), ValueMax (SGX: T6I), Vibrant Group (SGX: BIP).

The uniqueness of OCBC is the optimism level (34%) is relatively lower than DBS and UOB, therefore having more upside potential in medium term when COVID-19 fear is fading with global vaccination and also entering of Phase-3 COVID-19 measures in Singapore, allowing stronger growth in local economy which needs banks services. While waiting for recovery of share prices to fair value, OCBC stock investors could enjoy bonus with 3+% dividend yield (6% if there is no MAS limitation), much higher than bank interest rate less than 0.5%.

Many investors “play safe” during stock crisis by keeping the money as cash deposits in banks, providing nearly free loan for banks to expand business and multiply wealth. A smart investor would carefully select a portfolio of giant stocks (including banks) to leverage on strong business fundamental to grow in share prices.

2) Malaysia Giant Bank Stock: Public Bank (Bursa: 1295)

Public Bank is the third largest bank in Malaysia, businesses during pandemic and share prices in short term (V-shape recovery) are generally aligned with other 34 Banking & Finance Stocks in Malaysia (investor has to focus only on giant stocks for investing):

AFFIN (Bursa: 5185), ABMB (Bursa: 2488), ALLIANZ (Bursa: 1163), AMBANK (Bursa: 1015), APEX (Bursa: 5088), BIMB (Bursa: 5258), BURSA (Bursa: 1818), CIMB (Bursa: 1023), ECM (Bursa: 2143), ELKDESA (Bursa: 5228), FINTEC (Bursa: 0150), HLBANK (Bursa: 5819), HLCAP (Bursa: 5274), HLFG (Bursa: 1082), INSAS (Bursa: 3379), JOHAN (Bursa: 3441), KENANGA (Bursa: 6483), KUCHAI (Bursa: 2186), LPI (Bursa: 8621), MAA (Bursa: 1198), MAYBANK (Bursa: 1155), MBSB (Bursa: 1171), MANULFE (Bursa: 1058), MNRB (Bursa: 6459), MPHBCAP (Bursa: 5237), OSKVI (Bursa: 0053), P&O (Bursa: 6009), PBBANK (Bursa: 1295), RCECAP (Bursa: 9296), RHBBANK (Bursa: 1066), TAKAFUL (Bursa: 6139), TA (Bursa: 4898), TUNEPRO (Bursa: 5230).

Major Banks in Malaysia (Public Bank, Maybank, CIMB Bank, RHB Bank, Hong Leong Bank, etc) have suffered triple crisis over the past few years: economy slowdown during COVID-19 pandemic, low bank interest rate and also political instability. This has resulted Public Bank stock prices to fall by nearly 50% over the past few years, a very significant discount.

The uniqueness of Public Bank is relatively lower optimism level (25%) with stronger business fundamental than other Malaysia bank stocks, therefore having more upside potential in medium term when COVID-19 fear is fading with global vaccination and also less CMCO COVID-19 measures in Malaysia, allowing stronger growth in local economy which needs banks services. While waiting for recovery of share prices to fair value, Public Bank stock investors could enjoy bonus with 2% dividend yield, comparable with bank interest rate.

3) US Giant Bank Stock: Wells Fargo Bank (NYSE: WFC)

Wells Fargo Bank is the third largest bank in USA, businesses during pandemic and share prices in short term (V-shape recovery) are generally aligned with hundreds of Banking & Finance Stocks in US, including JP Morgan (NYSE: JPM), Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), Citi Group (NYSE: C), Blackrock (NYSE: BLK), etc.

Major Banks in US have suffered correction in share prices due to US lockdown in Q2/2020 pandemic and fear of COVID-19 pandemic. This has resulted Wells Fargo Bank stock prices to fall over 50% over the past few years, a very significant discount.

The uniqueness of Wells Fargo is lower optimism level (25%) than the peers but this is the result of weaker businesses in the last few quarters of pandemic. Therefore, Wells Fargo is more suitable for crisis investing, having more upside potential in medium term when COVID-19 fear is fading with global vaccination and also more QE (Quantitative Easing) in US after Joe Biden officially becomes US President on 20 Jan 2021, allowing stronger growth in local economy which needs banks services. While waiting for recovery of share prices to fair value, Wells Fargo Bank stock investors could enjoy bonus with 5+% dividend yield, much higher than the Fed ultra-low interest rate of 0-0.25%.

Since Wells Fargo Bank has relatively weaker business fundamental (despite large in business size), diversification is required for crisis investing in this marginal giant bank stock. In fact, there are other much smaller but stronger fundamental bank stocks in US with similar low optimism level as Wells Fargo Bank but much safer for investing in longer term. A smart investor may consider those state (not national) bank giant stocks, having even more upside potential but mostly are undervalue as they are less well known internationally.

4) HK / China Giant Bank Stock: ICBC Bank (HKEX: 1398)

ICBC Bank is the largest bank in China and the world, businesses during pandemic and share prices in short term (V-shape recovery) are generally aligned with other 14 major bank stocks / H-Shares in Hong Kong (investor has to focus only on giant stocks for investing):

Bank of China Hong Kong (HKEX: 2388), Hang Seng Bank (HKEX: 11), China Construction Bank (HKEX: 939), CM Bank (HKEX: 3968), Chong Hing Bank (HKEX: 1111), Bank of East Asia (HKEX: 23), Bank of Communication (HKEX: 3328), Dahsing Banking (HKEX: 2356), ICBC Bank (HKEX: 1398), Citic Bank (HKEX: 998), Bank of China (HKEX: 3988), Minsheng Bank (HKEX: 1988), HSBC Bank (HKEX: 5), Stanchart Bank (HKEX: 2888).

Major Banks in Hong Kong / China have suffered correction in share prices due to US-China trade war, China lockdown in Q1/2020 pandemic and global fear of COVID-19 pandemic. This has resulted ICBC Bank stock prices to fall nearly 50% over the past few years, a very significant discount.

The uniqueness of ICBC is recovering from lower optimism level (39%), more cyclical than the peers in medium term (every few years) with stable business businesses. Therefore, ICBC is more suitable for cyclic investing, having more upside potential in medium term when COVID-19 fear is fading with global vaccination and also less tension in US-China trade war after Joe Biden officially becomes US President on 20 Jan 2021, allowing stronger growth in local economy which needs banks services. While waiting for recovery of share prices to fair value, ICBC Bank stock investors could enjoy bonus with 6% dividend yield, much higher than current very low interest rates in Hong Kong banks.

There are other giant stocks in Hong Kong / China which are stronger and lower optimism than ICBC Bank, despite smaller in size. In fact, the largest local bank in Hong Kong is HSBC Bank but it is a poor bank stock (non-giant stock with weak fundamental). A smart investor would only consider giant bank stocks, not buying any other bank stocks at historical low prices (a common mistake for beginner investors to buy at “cheap” prices without considering the declining value in businesses), having even more upside potential with much lower risk. Risk management with a portfolio of giant stocks is key for crisis investing, so that “Buy Low” would have higher chance of “Sell High” in future.

From the table sorted below for 28 Singapore IT stocks, only half are profitable (17 / 28 stocks were making money in businesses last year). Therefore, careful choices of giant IT stocks are critical, some are at lower optimism share prices due to either stock market fear or actual business is affected during COVID-19 pandemic.

Most Singapore IT stocks don’t pay dividend (only 11 / 28 stocks pay dividend). Even if they do, for example, CSE Global (SGX: 544) and Boustead Singapore (SGX: F9D) with over 4% dividend yield, are not good dividend stocks due to weaker business fundamental.

Only 1/3 of IT stocks (9 / 28) have Price-to-Book ratio ($ / NAV = PB) < 1 with discount over asset but majority do not have high quality asset related to cash or properties.

For most local and global IT stocks, main strategy would be growth investing or momentum trading, therefore business growth is much more important than undervalue price or dividend payment.

There are only 2 IT related stocks (Mapletree Industrial Trust, following by Keppel DC Reit would be included soon by end of 2020) which are also listed in 30 STI component stocks:

DBS Bank (SGX: D05), Singtel (SGX: Z74), OCBC Bank (SGX: O39), UOB Bank (SGX: U11), Wilmar International (SGX: F34), Jardine Matheson Holdings JMH (SGX: J36), Jardine Strategic Holdings JSH (SGX: J37), Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92), CapitaLand (SGX: C31), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Singapore Airlines (SGX: C6L), ST Engineering (SGX: S63), Keppel Corp (SGX: BN4), Singapore Exchange (SGX: S68), HongkongLand (SGX: H78), Genting Singapore (SGX: G13), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX: C07), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), City Development (SGX: C09) , CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), Mapletree Commercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Dairy Farm International (SGX: D01), UOL (SGX: U14), Venture Corporation (SGX: V03), YZJ Shipbldg SGD (SGX: BS6), Sembcorp Industries (SGX: U96), SATS (SGX: S58), ComfortDelGro (SGX: C52).

An investor has to be selective in investing as many IT stocks in Singapore are weak (buy low may get lower in share price due to weak business, especially in a bearish stock market), despite they belong to a promising IT industry but the competition is too intense, only some IT stocks could be profitable in longer term.

Here, let’s focus on 4 Singapore IT giant stocks over 3 main categories:

1) IT Retail Giant Stock

– Challenger Technologies (SGX: 573)

Challenger Technologies has many IT retail stores in Singapore, business has been growing. In Year 2019, the acquisition offer by major shareholders was not successful due to joint effort of smart minority shareholders with over 10% objection votes. As a result, Singapore can still keep this giant stock, especially the company has strong cash flow, able to pay consistent dividend in the past, suitable for longer term investing.

However, over the past 2 years, Challengers Technologies has reduced on the dividend payment (unsure if this may be a move to discourage longer term investing, especially after the acquisition was not successful). In fact, the company is defensive in both share prices and business, not affect affected during COVID-19 compared with peers.

So, Challenger Technologies is transformed from a dividend stock (defender) in the past to a growth stock (midfielder with moderate dividend and capital gains). Current share price is at lower optimism level but it may not be suitable for traders due to sideways prices (which is better than most bearish Singapore stocks). Since this is not a REIT, major shareholders have the power to change the dividend payout policy each year, making it less attractive to longer term investors for holding, perhaps a higher chance for acquisition again in future if both the capital gains and dividends are limited in medium term.

In Singapore, besides Challenger Technologies, consumers may also go to Harvey Norman IT stores which is listed in Australia stock market (ASX: HVN). Harvey Norman is as strong as Challenger Technologies, another option for global IT giant stock investing. Even during crisis such as COVID-19, their businesses are doing better as there are online sales channel, demand is supported by more IT users.

2) Software Giant Stock

– Silverlake Axis (SGX: 5CP)

Silverlake Axis provides software solutions and services to the banking, insurance, payment, retail and logistics industries. It is a leader for backend software to many banks in Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, etc). Banks usually don’t easily change the supplier of financial software for safety and stability, therefore Silverlake Axis has economic moat in high switching cost.

In Year 2015, there was allegation reported on questionable high profitability of company, even if there is no confirmation, resulting in significant correction of share price from peak of over $1/share, bearish share prices continue in the past few years to about 20% of peak share price during COVID-19 stock crisis, currently at low optimism. Silverlake Axis business is affected during pandemic but this is reasonable compared with peers and clients (most banks have weaker businesses during COVID-19).

Financial reports are key consideration for investors, therefore any doubt (even not confirmed) could create unwanted market fear, resulting in falling of share prices. Another recent example is Best World International (SGX: CGN) which also reported very good financial results, attracting questions on reliability of business performance. Even during the stock suspension period, Best World continues to report expected good financial results.

So, for a giant stock, besides good business fundamental, it is important for management to pay more attention on public communication, be transparent in financial reports, especially on grey areas. Luckin Coffee (NASDAQ: LK, forced to be delisted) was a negative example that a “strong fundamental” company ends up in scandal of deceiving global investors (including GIC of Singapore) with manipulated financial reports. Integrity of management is key for a giant stock but it is very hard to measure as greed could drive a business to different direction. Sometimes under the pressure of investors expectation, some management of companies may choose shortcut to achieve early “success” with creative accounting. So, stock investors have to read between the lines for financial reports, reviewing each potential allegation or rumors if there is any.

Overall, assuming truthful financial reports over the past decade, Silverlake Axis is a reasonable strong fundamental stock at low optimism but it is very cyclical in nature, an investor needs to have holding power when buying at low optimism.

3) Data Center Giant REITs

– Keppel DC Reit (SGX: AJBU)

– Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U)

Both Keppel DC Reit and Mapletree Industrial Trust (MIT) are data center REITs, benefiting from increasing demand in internet era for data storage to keep critical and sensitive information for clients in different countries globally. Data center business has strong economic moat (high switching cost) and predictable in income generation, supported by clients who are financially strong with internet related businesses.

Keppel DC Reit is mainly on data center business, growth in business with strong cash, could double the dividend in about 4 years, much stronger than most dividend stocks and REITs which need 8-10 years to double the dividend payment. However, this strong growth has attracted competition globally, therefore the high growth rate in share prices and businesses would slow down in longer term. The share price was corrected by about 20% during COVID-19 stock crisis but quickly recover to new historical high prices, currently at high optimism. So, the stock is more suitable for momentum trading as the dividend yield is less than 3%, trend-following trading strategy may be applied. Keppel DC Reit would be the next in line for new 30 STI component stock, replacing the empty slot when CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U) and CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U) are merged by end of 2020, with new opportunity for higher upside in share prices with more fund managers support.

Mapletree Industrial Trust has acquired 14 more data centers in US, overall business contribution with data center is about 40%, would help to accelerate the future growth of company. The company share price and business performance are similar to Keppel DC Reit, but it is more gradual in growth. After replacing Singapore Press Holding, SPH (SGX T39) as the latest 30 STI component stock in Year 2020, MIT share price is supported further (currently at high optimism) with more institutional investors. MIT may be considered as midfielder with capital gains and moderate 3.7% dividend yield, currently more suitable for trend-following trading or growth investing due to higher optimism prices.

Both Keppel DC Reit and MIT are stronger growth REITs compared with 52 Singapore REITs and Business Trusts which are mainly positioned for dividend investing (investor has to focus only on giant stocks for investing):

AIMS APAC Reit (SGX: O5RU), ARA Hospitality Trust USD (SGX: XZL), ARA LOGOS Logistics Trust (SGX: K2LU), Ascendas Reit (SGX: A17U), Ascendas India Trust (SGX: CY6U), Ascott Trust (SGX: HMN), Asian Pay Tv Trust (SGX: S7OU), BHG Retail Reit (SGX: BMGU), CapitaLand Commercial Trust (SGX: C61U), CapitaLand Mall Trust (SGX: C38U), CapitaLand Retail China Tr (SGX: AU8U), CDL Hospitality Trust (SGX: J85), Cromwell Reit EUR (SGX: CNNU), Cromwell Reit SGD (SGX: CSFU), Dasin Retail Trust (SGX: CEDU), Eagle Hospitality Trust USD (SGX: LIW), EC World Reit (SGX: BWCU), Elite Commercial Reit (SGX: MXNU), ESR-REIT (SGX: J91U), Far East Hospitality Trust (SGX: Q5T), First Reit (SGX: AW9U), Frasers Centrepoint Trust (SGX: J69U), Frasers Hospitality Trust (SGX: ACV), Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust (SGX: BUOU), FSL Trust (SGX: D8DU), HPH Trust SGD (SGX: P7VU), HPH Trust USD (SGX: NS8U), IREIT Global (SGX: UD1U), Keppel Infrastructure Trust (SGX: A7RU), Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT (SGX: CMOU), Keppel DC Reit (SGX: AJBU), Keppel Reit (SGX: K71U), Lendlease Reit (SGX: JYEU), Lippo Malls Trust (SGX: D5IU), Manulife Reit (SGX: BTOU), Mapletree Commmercial Trust (SGX: N2IU), Mapletree Industrial Trust (SGX: ME8U), Mapletree Logistics Trust (SGX: M44U), Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust (SGX: RW0U), NetLink NBN Trust (SGX: CJLU), OUE Commercial Reit (SGX: TS0U), ParkwayLife Reit (SGX: C2PU), Prime US Reit (SGX: OXMU), RHT HealthTrust (SGX: RF1U), Sabana Reit (SGX: M1GU), Sasseur Reit (SGX: CRPU), Soilbuild Business Space Reit (SGX: SV3U), SPH Reit (SGX: SK6U), Starhill Global Reit (SGX: P40U), Suntec Reit (SGX: T82U), United Hampshire US Reit (SGX: ODBU).

=======================================

In fact, a company does not need to pay dividend to be a giant stock. Warren Buffett Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A / BRK.B) did not pay dividend for the past decades, retained earnings are accumulated, making it the most expensive stock in the world. So, a company value can be evaluated from both past and future earnings and cash flow.

Nearly every company or investor needs IT except for Warren Buffett. Many years ago, Bill Gates (founder of Microsoft, NASDAQ: MSFT, also a global IT giant stock) was trying to persuade his good friend (who supports his charity fund), Warren Buffett, to accept application of computer, at least to manage his stock portfolio. Warren Buffett joked that he only has 1 stock (which is Berkshire Hathaway), therefore no need computer at all. In reality, main contributor of Berkshire revenue now is from world largest IT giant stock, Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL). Warren Buffett regrets of not able to investing in Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), another US IT giant stock in earlier stage with lower prices. For growth investing, an investor may not need to buy low but need to invest more during stock crisis, leveraging on power of time to compound the share prices with condition the strong growth businesses are sustainable.

Although Warren Buffett is not IT savvy, he could read the financial reports of Apple, understanding his strong economic moat to continue to make money as a market leader, at least for the current decade. Indeed, IT is beneficial to businesses but an investor may not need to be high tech person to invest in high tech stocks. However, since technology sector is very dynamic, especially for information technology, new or disruptive technology could take the lead at the right time. For example, Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM) is a promising young IT stock, by right needs another 5-10 more years to become a proven giant stock but the process is shortened to months with unexpected help of COVID-19 crisis with millions of new users including Dr Tee during pandemic.
