DJ MARKET TALK: Goldman Sachs Ups Yanlord To Buy,But Trims Target
0154 GMT [Dow Jones] STOCK CALL: Goldman Sachs upgrades Yanlord Land (Z25.SG) to Buy from Neutral, citing favorable risk-reward profile after recent sharp price fall on concerns over impact of China's tightening measures on high-end developer's sales. Notes stock has corrected by 17% vs 8% fall by HK-listed China developers in past month.
Says Yanlord's solid management execution, well-diversified development pipeline could result in resilient earnings, margins in 2010; "we expect sufficient new project launch pipeline to provide good earnings growth visibility."
Still, trims target price to S$2.28 from S$2.56, based on 20% discount to 2010 NAV estimate vs 10% discount previously to reflect increased uncertainty arising from recent government macro tightening. Stock +1.7% at S$1.75.
