Cache Logistics Trust: 3Q 2011.

Saturday, October 29, 2011

A DPU of 2.095c has been declared and this is an 8% increase year on year. Annualised at 8.38c, it would translate to a distribution yield of 8.38% at the last traded price of $1 per unit. Not bad. That would explain the strength of the unit price in the days running up to the announcement.


Occupancy: 100%.
Gearing: 30.4%.
Interest cover ratio: 8.3x.
Total assets: >$830m.
Financing cost reduced from 3.92% to 3.81%.

It would be a natural course for Cache Logistics Trust to eventually have total AUM of $1b. With gearing at 30.4%, it could borrow another $150m easily before hitting the 40% mark as it embarks on acquisitions to hit the $1b AUM mark.


The REIT might not have to do any equity fund raising at all. This would be good for unitholders since all acquisitions in such an instance would be distribution yield accretive, all else remaining equal.

A good set of numbers and I will look out for opportunities to accumulate more units of this REIT on pullbacks.


Technically, when a REIT goes XD, we usually see a pullback in its unit price. We have seen it with AIMS AMP Capital Industrial REIT, Sabana REIT, Cambridge Industrial Trust and First REIT recently.

I have identified the supports for Cache Logistics Trust where it could be more rewarding to enter long positions at. Now, I wait. Wait to receive income for my current investment. Wait for weakness to accumulate more.

My weaknesses (Part 2).

Not too long ago, I indulged in one of my weaknesses... on two occasions... at Andersen's of Denmark.

Visit 1: Fondue for one. I chose this because there were bits of fruits and being the rational me who is trying to lead a healthier lifestyle, it was a healthier choice. Wait a minute, a healthier choice in an ice cream outlet? Hmmm... Nah, I am over-analysing. Healthier, it is! ;p

Visit 2: Apple pie! An apple a day keeps the doctor away. I am sure a slice of apple pie would do the trick too, right? Why am I not saying anything about the ice cream? Oh, the two scoops of ice cream were just accompaniments and, honestly, I did not touch the big dollop of fresh cream you see on the extreme left. Healthier choice, remember? ;p

In a pretty crowded scene which Swensen's probably has an advantage as being the most entrenched player and Haagen Daz has the honour of being probably the most atas, Andersen's has been doing pretty good business if my observations are anything to go by.

CPL, CMA and NOL: Resistance levels to look out for.

We had a very nice rally today. The upward march on the STI was almost uninterupted all the way from the start of the session. In an earlier blog post on 17 October, I mentioned that there seems to be a bias for further upward movement and it has taken almost two weeks to materialise.


Now that a rally is underway, for investors who are already vested, do we ask if the rally could continue tomorrow? No. We should ask if the rally were to continue tomorrow, where are the resistance levels? We should be looking for exit prices.

For investors who are not vested and who are knocking themselves on the heads for being overly bearish, they want to know where are the supports so that they could consider buying on pull backs. However, given the strength of the rally in Europe right now, chances of a retest of supports could be rather slim. If I had missed the boat, so be it. That's my take.

For CapitaMalls Asia,  a long white candle tested the high of 17 Oct at $1.31. Overcoming this resistance level will see a cluster of resistance levels ahead: $1.33 as provided by the declining 100dMA followed by $1.36, a many times tested resistance level in early September.


In very bullish conditions, we could see the gap at $1.395 filled. Where should I place my sell order? As is my usual style, I will partially divest at each resistance level.

Capitaland could test resistance at $2.71 as a white candle was formed today on the back of very much higher volume.


If $2.71 were to be taken out convincingly, we could see the gap at $2.79 filled eventually. Before $2.71, we have the declining 100dMA to contend with. This MA approximates $2.68 in the next session.

NOL formed a nice white candle today on the back of relatively high volume. Immediate resistance is at $1.19, the high of 13 Oct. Given the momentum of the upward movement, chances of a continuation in the next session is high.


Overcoming $1.19 would see $1.24 and $1.27 as the next two resistance levels, the 123.6% and 138.2% Fibo lines respectively. $1.27 also approximates the position of the declining 100dMA.

With container shipping business very much in the doldrums, the 138.2% Fibo line could be a strong resistance, if tested at all. Remember that 38.2% is also a golden ratio.

Good luck.
