800 Super: The Uptrend Trajectory Is Intact

800 Super Holdings, another defensive stock listed in the Catalist of the Singapore Stock Exchange, is worth a closer look even when its price has surged substantially of late.

800 Super has grown steadily since its inception as a waste management solutions provider to a one-stop provider of waste and environmental solutions by expanding into the cleaning, recycling and horticulture industries. It is one of the four licensed public waste collectors in Singapore appointed by the National Environment Agency (NEA). Its industrial and commercial waste collection services span across various industries including shopping complexes, hotels, factories, shipyards, etc.

In Singapore, 800 Super was awarded by the NEA for the cleansing of public areas including public roads and pavements in the North West and South West district which almost covers half of Singapore. Its horticultural services include grass-cutting, planning and maintenance of landscape and aboricultural services that include the planting and pruning of trees and plants.

800 Super’s business  is considered non-cyclical and defensive  as the waste still needs to be collected and the roads still needs to be swept during both good and bad times.

Between FY2011 to FY2015, its profit has a compound annual growth rate of 39.86%. The company has been giving out dividends in the past years and FY2015 being the highest at S$0.02. This translates to a dividend yield of 3.03 percent based on the closing price of $0.66 on 27 May 2016.

The trailing price-earnings ratio is at 6.73x.

800 Super largest shareholder Yong Seong Invesment increased its holdings in the group in February at a price of 43 to 44 cts, which has increased its stake in 800 Super from 66 to 66.8 percent.  

Being defensive and in an industry that has relatively high entry barriers, the worst case scenario will be that the company has stopped growing and will maintain its p/e at 6.73x, this should give its investors a return of 14.86 percent per year, some of which will come from the dividend declared by the management board, and some in the retained earnings which should be reflected in the surge in share price.

The transaction volume of the share is usually very low but both the prices and its volume have gone up substantially lately as market players started to have interest in it. Due to the illiquidity of the transactions, chart reading is not useful. This is a stock more for investors with a long-term horizon.  

Going forward, there are three highly possible scenarios that I think of:

1.       Privatisation of the company: the share price will surge.
       2.       Bonus issue: the share price will surge.
       3.       Giving better dividend: the share price will surge.

The Power That You Want In Times of Uncertainty

Today I will recommend you three electricity power houses: HuaDian Power 華電國際 (1071), HuaNeng Power 華能國際 (902) and DaTang Power 大唐發電(991. All have been giving solid and consistent dividends for the past four years, with an average yield of 10% today. All have very low forward p/e, at 4.8x, 5.3x and 6.6x respectively. All have very low forward p/b, at 0.66x, 0.74x and 0.48x respectively. They are H-shares and all are substantially cheaper than their A-shares counterparts listed in Shanghai Stock Exchange. Their A/H premiums are at 60%, 68% and 130% respectively.


The prices closed at the end of 25 May 2016 at HK$3.83, HK$5.03 and HK$2.00 respectively. All have been hovering at their respective nadirs and waiting for the ever-mysterious time for a breakout. And I think now is about the time for the exacting breakouts to take place due to the following reasons:

(1) They are defensive stocks whereby all people have to use electricity be it good times or bad times.

(2) The prices have dropped by 25%, 25% and 15% respectively from the beginning of 2016 and value investors would want to get the solid dividends as the ex-dividend date are drawing near.

(3) During times of uncertainty, these stocks with steady and high dividends are the best bet. Their dividends are payable only once a year, so you stand to get on average 10% returns within a short time.

(4) The charts have all shown that the turning points are around the corner.

(5) These three companies operate in an oligopoly environment, where barriers of entry are relatively high.
