ThaiBev’s BeerCo IPO: What’s It Worth?

By Arun George

  • Thai Beverage (THBEV SP)’s BeerCo is once again pre-marketing an SGX IPO to raise US$0.8-1.0 billion, according to press reports.
  • In ThaiBev’s BeerCo IPO: Third Time’s the Charm?, we look at the latest developments and results. 
  • The target raise by offering 20% of BeerCo’s issued shares points to a valuation of US$4.0-5.0 billion. Our first-look valuation analysis suggests a valuation range of US$5.0-5.2 billion. 

SPH REIT Option Has 1 Week To Go – Look Elsewhere

By Travis Lundy

  • The SPH REIT (SPHREIT SP) “option” has performed admirably so far, up 4.2% in a month, and now it is time to look elsewhere. 
  • SPH REIT has outperformed its Retail S-REIT peers and is now near the top of its undisturbed 3-year range. 
  • And there are potential large flow events on the horizon which would benefit the Peers more than SPH REIT.

Las Vegas Sands:  Totally Asia Facing, It Is Valued on Financial Strength Amid Covid Challenges

By Howard J Klein

  • LVS is now entirely a balance sheet play in that its cash position vs. run rate assures good liquidity through the lingering covid crisis.
  • Maturities of its debt pose no problems for refis until ’24,’25–and even minimal then.
  • Recurring sporadic covid outbreaks and Beijing policies impede GGR recovery. We are moving LVS from BUY to HOLD to reflect the value of its sustainability rather than growth.
