S$5.01 From OCBC: CDL Hospitality Trusts: Competition to increase Summary: We believe that CDLHT’s Singapore hotels are best classified as being in the Mid-tier/Upscale range, because their FY12 RevPAR was S$211, close to the mean of S$264 and S$171, which are the RevPAR averages for Singapore Upscale and Mid-tier hotels respectively. As detailed in our hospitality sector report dated 5 Mar 2013, we project that for 2013-2015, the Economy, Mid-tier and Upscale/Luxury categories will grow +5.9% p.a., +8.5% p.a. and +4.4% p.a. respectively. As a group, the Mid-tier/Upscale/Luxury segment will grow 5.8% p.a., the same rate that the overall supply will grow. This rate is lower than the projected room demand of 5.4% p.a. over the same period, indicating that competition is likely to intensify in the segments that CDLHT is represented in. Adjusting our assumptions and removing the 10% discount to RNAV to better reflect the worth of CDLHT’s hotel properties, we are raising our fair value from S$1.93 to S$2.11; but maintain a HOLD rating since CDLHT is trading near our fair value.  (Sarah Ong) Sembcorp Marine: Good demand from Mexico; secures two more jack-ups Summary: Sembcorp Marine (SMM) announced this morning that its subsidiary, PPL Shipyard, has secured orders worth US$417m for the construction of two jack-up rigs from Mexican-based Integradora de Servicios Petroleros Oro Negro (Oro Negro). Scheduled for delivery at end-4Q14 and end-1Q15, the high-spec rigs will be built based on PPL’s proprietary Pacific Class 400 design. Oro Negro is a repeat customer – it ordered two similar jack-up rigs from SMM in Dec last year at a price of US$217m per unit. The strong demand coming from Mexico is within our expectations, as PEMEX plans annual capital expenditures of ~US$30b till 2019 to stem the country’s declining oil production. We see SMM as one of the beneficiaries of these developments. Maintain BUY with S$5.84 fair value estimate on SMM.
