Niche development at KLCC-area
Another quick turnaround project. Mah Sing (MSGB) is acquiring a 1.4-acre freehold commercial land along Jalan Ampang for RM54m. It plans to develop affordable small-sized serviced residences with GDV of RM257m, lifting total GDV and unbilled sales to RM6.2b (+4%). We expect a strong take-up for the project given the scarcity of similar developments. Maintain Buy with an ex-bonus TP of RM2.20.
Acquiring freehold commercial land. The 1.4-acre land along Jalan Ampang (next to Great Eastern Mall, and close to Gleneagles hospital) will be acquired from F&N for RM54m or RM857psf. The purchase price is 4% lower than the price transacted (RM889psf) between F&N (vendor) and an independent third-party (buyer) in Jun ‘08, but this was subsequently rescinded in Nov ’08 due to the government’s partial compulsory acquisition (0.4% of total land size).
RM257m GDV planned. The land will be developed into serviced residences, named M-Suites@Jalan Ampang. GDV is estimated at RM257m (over 3 years), with a small built-up area of 430-1,150 sq ft per unit valued at RM350,000 onwards (RM814psf). A quick turnaround is expected for the land with its maiden launch in 2H10 as it already has a development order. Assuming a 20% pretax margin, it will add RM13m in annual net profits (2sen EPS) over 3 years, and 4sen to our RNAV estimate. We maintain our forecasts pending more details.
High take-up expected. We are positive on this acquisition/project as there is limited supply of affordable small-sized serviced residences within the KLCC-area (majority has size of >1,200 sq ft). Assuming rental yield of 5% (in line with KLCC-area rate) for the project, monthly rental is merely RM1,500, comfortably within the budgets of professionals (including embassy staff).
Adjusting for the recently-completed 1-for-5 bonus issue, our 2010-12 EPS is revised downward by 17% and our new TP is now RM2.20 (-15%). We continue to like Mah Sing as a proxy to the robust domestic property market (1Q10 new sales: +3x YoY, +4.6x QoQ) and expect more land acquisitions to fuel positive sentiment on the stock.
