Return to fundamentals as speculation eases
Goodpack recently announced that it has been approached by parties
in connection with a possible transaction and discussions are on-
going. Brambles, which also offers intermediate bulk containers (IBC)
leasing among other packaging solutions, subsequently said it
approached Goodpack previously but is not currently in talks. Instead
of betting on whether there will be further upside through share offer,
we prefer to draw investors’ attention back to fundamentals.
Competitive advantages and upside risks remain
Goodpack’s most compelling value propositions to its clients are its
global presence and unique IBCs that yields ~20% cost savings over
alternatives. On the other hand, there are barriers to entry in the
forms of: 1) IBC design patent with 15 years remaining, 2) stickiness
of existing clients, and 3) large capex spending of ~US$900m to
match Goodpack’s current fleet size. Hence, we believe Goodpack’s
business model is still sound and will continue to grow. We believe
Goodpack is among the top choices for any new synthetic rubber (SR)
plant given its ~30% market share and track record. For instance,
Goodpack has the supplier for new SR plants in Singapore, including
the latest Sumitomo Chemical plant opened in Mar-14. We think a
major upside surprise is current trial-stage auto parts manufacturers
switching over fully to IBCs before 2QFY15 as assumed. We note that
this is the third year of engaging auto parts clients, a relatively
mature stage of the sales process. We re-iterate that accelerated
growth in auto parts segment would follow due to the network effect
whereby others adjacent to clients in the supply chain will switch over
to minimise logistics handling systems. Another upside surprise is
higher-than-expected demand from rubber industry, from either
existing accounts or new SR plants.
HOLD after 15% return
The share price has gained 15% since our BUY call on 5 Feb-14,
briefly hitting an all-time high of S$2.28. We continue to like the
company but are keeping our S$2.17 fair value estimate. Hence, we
deem Goodpack fairly priced and change our call to a HOLD.
PROMISING BUT FAIRLY PRICED HOLD after 15% gain
