UOL's investments mispriced by the market: Nomura

The market is valuing Marina Square and Marina Bayfront at just SGD1,230psf.

Here's more from Nomura:

Despite UOL’s outperformance against the market year-to-date, we believe the market continues to misprice UOL’s investments, such as its direct stake in Marina Centre Holdings (MCH). It appears the market is valuing Marina Square and Marina Bayfront at just SGD1,230psf and the three Marina Bay hotels at just SGD509,600-571,100/key (or a 25-26% discount to even the end-2010 valuation), based on UOL’s current share price. In other words, valuing the MCH assets at their latest OMV alone would have added an additional SGD0.10/share to UOL’s share price, on our numbers.

Note that besides its direct stake in MCH, UOL owns an additional indirect stake via SingLand (SL SP, not rated; 78.4% held by UOL’s 42.9%-owned associate UIC [UIC SP, not rated]), which controls 53% of MCH. MCH owns the Marina Square mall, the Marina Bayfront office, the Pan Pacific Singapore hotel as well as 50% stakes in the Marina Mandarin and Mandarin Oriental hotels.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
