worst is company still decided to give 4sen dividend despite very poor earning, apprently aeon japan itself is having hard time now n wanted to suck as much as possible, instead of being supportive price has been dropping like waterfall, but company still doesn’t really do any buyback is the company fair value yet to surface? or it is yelling obviously that it has gt no cash? judge wisely
AEON won't go bankrupt, but will just get more and more borrowings to cover its short of cash from operating Also, don't dream on that AEON Japan will help, it never helped (low interest debt, share buyback or any kind), but insisted to receive dividend recently amid trying time
Not much retailer can profit in this MCO. within expectation. Hope can perform better next quarter. I still like to spend time and money in Aeon during the weekend.
Before MCO, most AEON tenant lots were already empty.
Now, when you go to its malls, the empty lots are like doubled than previously.
Before moratorium ends, the situation is already this bad, try to imagine the upcoming months that how many more business owners want to close down their businesses in the malls.
To lure tenants to come in, AEON has to burn more cash.
Don't even talk about the retail segment which got thin profit margins even before MCO.
The opportunity cost to invest in this company is way too high.
lambsauce, are you living in an alternate universe... because the crowd in aeon tebrau here in Johor is pretty much back to pre-covid. also i dont see empty tenants pun.
to clarify atm i dont hold aeon but am looking to enter. still so cheap you need to scare people away lagi ka? no need so greedy lah
Outlook. In the property management segment, we understand Aeon granted rental rebates to ~70% of total tenants. While July rental collection has recovered to RM50m, we understand this is still lower than pre-Covid-19 rental income of RM58m/month. Furthermore, our channel checks indicate that many retail players have either (i) closed a number of physical retail stores and/or (ii) renewed leases from shopping mall operators in recent months at significantly cheaper rates. In conclusion, we expect the PMS division (which accounted for ~75% of EBIT in FY19) to continue to suffer as Covid-19 puts pressure on physical retailers and hence, shopping mall operators. Note that even before MCO, occupancy rate slipped to 90.7% in FY19 (from 91.4% in FY18) due to the supply glut of rentable retail space.
Forecast. We lower our FY20/21/22 forecasts by to 8.5%/24.1%/14.7% to account for weaker than expected retailing sales in 1H20, lower shopping mall occupancy rates and lower rental yield from retailers renewing leases at cheaper rates.
Maintain SELL. After our earnings adjustment, our TP falls from RM0.86 to RM0.71 pegged to an unchanged 12x PE multiple of mid-FY21 earnings. While the reopening of non-essential retail with the relaxation of MCO rules bodes well from Aeon going into 2H20, we expect the MCO to exacerbate the largest issue facing shopping mall operators, which is the supply glut of available retail space in Malaysia.
Target price. We are revising our target price to RM1.07 (previously RM1.08) as we roll our base year to FY21F. Our new TP is pegged to 16.0x PER FY21F EPS of 6.7sen. Our valuation is premised on -1.5SD below its three years historical average PER. We attribute the discount to the: (i) saturated retail landscape in the country; (ii) impact of Covid-19 on the economy including shifting to shopping on digital platforms; and (iii) extended cautious consumer sentiment.
Upgrade to TRADING BUY from NEUTRAL. This is due to the sharp retracement in its share price over the past few months. We believe that most of the negatives have been priced in at this point. Looking beyond the lackluster year that 2020 has been, we expect that Aeon Co is likely able to weather through the situation due to its track record. Valuation also appears much more attractive now.
