Here's why KSH Holdings will remain bullish this year

13 of its Singapore projects to rake in a whopping S$128m.

According to OCBC Investment Research, it recently met with KSH management and keep intact its FY13E and FY14E forecasts at S$30.7m (up 68% YoY) and S$53.0m (up 72% YoY), respectively, which are underpinned by progress billings for already-sold projects.

OCBC noted that it estimates its property development portfolio of 13 Singapore projects to yield S$128m of yet unrecognized profits ahead, of which S$54m (42%) is already launched and sold.

Here's more:

For the construction segment, order book replenishment now cumulates to S$202m in 2013 to date – somewhat above forecast and already exceeding the S$163m total last year.

Beijing condo likely to sustain earnings growth
Beyond FY14, we see earnings growth momentum continuing due to the launch of its 45%-owned Beijing condo this year, Liang Jing Ming Ju Phase 4 (LJMJ), which would contribute an estimated S$23m net earnings upon TOP.

LJMJ has a NSA of 31.4k sqm residential and 8.1k sqm retail shops, with average breakeven and selling prices at RMB 8k psm and RMB 20k psm respectively. We estimate a 5.5 S-cents accretion to RNAV, which we now incorporate into our valuation given adequate operational visibility.

Focus on Gaobeidan township execution
KSH also has a 30.6% effective stake in a township development at Gaobeidian (GBD) New Town – 30 mins away from Beijing city via at a newly-completed high-speed train line.

Total investment of the 533-hectare township is estimated at RMB16b and the JV is currently focused on launching Phase 1 which is a residential project. GDB would potentially yield S$195m net profits to KSH and accrete a hefty 30 to 35 S-cents to RNAV.

However, we currently value this project at zero accretion in our model until more visibility regarding execution is gained.

Expect strong FY13E earnings ahead
For upcoming FY13E results, we expect to see final dividends in the range of 0.5 – 1.5 S-cents and possibly a bonus share issue to alleviate low trading liquidity currently.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
