iFAST Corporation - Near-Term Pain, Long-Term Gain
IFAST CORPORATION LTD. (SGX:AIY)
- iFAST Corporation (SGX:AIY) recorded PATMI of S$5.7m in 1Q22 (-20% q-o-q, -35% y-o-y), 30%/35% below our/consensus estimates. The miss was primarily due to softer-than-expected revenue growth on the back of poor market conditions.
- We factor in more substantial ePension contributions from FY23F onwards as management sees clearer opex visibility amid the implementation phase. While we factor in the expedited earnings uplift, we nonetheless include in a ~20% discount to these contributions as we remain cognisant of execution risks during the operations phase (FY24F onwards).
- Reiterate ADD call on iFAST with lower target price of S$7.60 as we look past near-term headwinds due to persistent market volatility and towards ~50-60% EPS growth in FY23-24F (largely from HK).
- iFAST declared an interim dividend of S$0.01 in 1Q22 (vs 1Q21: S$0.01) – We cut FY22F dividend forecast to S$0.048 (58% payout, vs FY21: S$0.048, 43% payout).
