一文綜合券商於長江基建(01038.HK)公布去年業績最新目標價及觀點(表)
長江基建(01038.HK)今早股價偏軟,最新報43.15元跌1.9%。匯豐環球研究指,長江基建去年核心盈利轉差,主要受利率上升及英國營運成本上升影響,該行指長建去年派息按年升1.2%,其負債淨額對資本淨額比率跌至7.3%,可提供未來併購機會。基於資本市場充足流動性,集團併購具質素資產面臨競爭,但該行認為集團將維持紀律,維持「買入」評級,下調對其目標價由58元降至53元。
長建昨(15日)收市後公布去年業績,純利按年升3%至77.48億元,每股盈利3.08元,派每股末期息1.83元,按年增加0.02元。計及中期息每股0.7元,全年共派息2.53元按年升1.2%。營業額按年跌3.7%至392.36億元。以業務所在地貨幣計算,基建投資組合溢利貢獻按年升5%。來自英國基建業務溢利貢獻按年升29%至30.69億元,澳洲業務溢利貢獻升4%至19.76億元。歐洲大陸業務溢利貢獻跌4%至6.64億元,加拿大業務溢利貢獻增30%至6.17億元。公司截至去年底持有現金180億元,負債淨額對總資本淨額比率為7%。
【續增加派息 憂監管重設】
高盛指,長江基建去年純利在扣除出售Northumbrian Water及其他特殊項目後,實際盈利按年跌24%至71億元,差於該行及市場預期,主要受不利匯兌環境及佔集團利潤36%的英國業務利潤下跌拖累。
高盛表示長建旗下英國業務受利率上升下融資成本上漲及通脹相關影響。該行又指,長建去年派息按年增加1%,符合其漸進派息政策,自上市26年來一直維持,受經營現金流約78億元有力支撐。該行下調長江基建目標價由51元降至50元,維持「中性」評級,雖然集團作為防守性股份,但利率上升亦影響其盈利及使其更難覓得併購機會。
摩根士丹利指,長建去年純利遜預期,料今年或持續受壓。長建旗下英國業務經營溢利按年跌36%至25.43億元,管理層解釋受通脹相關融資成本急升影響,並預期高利率成本在今年維持。該行考慮到匯兌利潤,相信長江基建經營溢利仍會在今年受壓,受高利率成本及英國與澳洲資產監管重設影響,基於利率上升及地緣政治緊張,透過併購達致盈利增長能見度低,但其經營現金流可完全支撐每年每股6.4元派息。該行維持對長建「與大市同步」評級及50元目標價。
