Rating cut on limited upside We expect that SINGER’s share price will react positively to the news concerning the recent change in the major shareholder. We anticipate that JMART can build synergy with SINGER and do not expect a dramatic near‐term change to its business model. Even though we don’t have a negative view on the acquisition, the limited upside to our target price leads us to lower the rating to OUTPERFORM. Major shareholder disposed entire stake Singer Thailand B.V., subsidiary of Retail Holdings N.V. (RHDGF), has divested its entire lot of 108mn shares, equivalent to a 40% stake in SINGER at Bt14 apiece, approximately Bt1.5bn in total value. Its relatively low stake holding in SINGER (figure 1) together with SINGER’s direct sales business model, which is different from the retail and wholesale business model employed elsewhere, are the reasons behind the disposition. SINGER, however, will continue to have a royalty bearing license from the RHDGF group, enabling it to use the Singer brand. JMART becomes new largest shareholder with nearly a 25% stake JMART, a mobile handset distributor, disclosed through the SET that it has acquired nearly a 25% stake in SINGER for Bt945mn. The purchasers of the remaining 15% stake were not disclosed. The strategic business direction under the new acquirers will be announced soon. At this stage, we do not expect dramatic changes to its business model. In our view, JMART will help SINGER widen its product offerings and broaden the scope of financial services. Given its strong team with outstanding local market knowledge, SINGER will in turn help JMART expand its businesses rapidly through its distribution channel nationwide. 2015E‐2016E earnings forecasts unchanged In our talk with SINGER before being acquired, they signaled a rebound in sales momentum in early 2Q15, particularly for seasonal products such as air conditioners and freezers. Next month, the company will launch its pilot project on small petrol trucks to supply petrol to its vending machines in a bid to gain recurring service revenue. We currently leave our 2015E‐2016E earnings estimates unchanged until the new business direction has been determined.
