Hong Kong riot hurt MNACT fundamentals since 3Q 2019, then 1Q 2020 followed by COVID, thus MNACT is hit by a double whammy. In the short term, things won't be rosy. Nonetheless, based on the above, its fundamentals remain strong.
Relative Valuation
i) Average Dividend Yield
Dividend yield of 7.98 % is based on annualized DPU for the past 1 year. Apply annualized DPU of 6.899 cents to average yield of 6.75% will get S$ 1.02.
ii) Average Price/NAV
Average value is at 0.85, apply latest NAV of S$1.405 will get S$ 1.19
Author's Opinion
Hong Kong COVID situation is getting worse at this moment. Even if COVID subsides, protests may happen again. However, judging by management's quick response to the previous riot situation, I am confident that MNACT can tide through its hard time. For valuation:
i) Fundamental Intrinsic Value = (Removed)
ii) Relative Valuation - Dividend Yield = S$ 1.02
iii) Relative Valuation - Price/NAV = S$ 1.19
At the current price of S$0.865, it seems that the current price is undervalued.
