A better fourth quarter for Frasers Centrepoint

SINGAPORE (Aug 10): CIMB is maintaining its “add” on Frasers Centrepoint Limited with higher target price of $2.04 on a better fourth quarter as China and Australia residential sales improve on increased handovers.

In 3Q16, FCL’s revenue declined 33% to $682 million from a year ago while EBIT fell 47% to $166.8 million on lumpy China residential and smaller Singapore development profits due to a high base in 3Q15.

China residential EBIT came in at $9 million vs $38 million previously on lumpy profit recognition and a one-time $38 million profit from sale of Crosspoint.
