BUSINESS TIMES :
THE Singapore Exchange (SGX) on Friday morning queried SIA Engineering for " unusual price and volume movements" in its shares after the market opened.   
As of 10.07am, SIA Engineering shares were trading at S$2.89, up 17 Singapore cents or 6.3 per cent.  On Thursday, the counter  closed 8.4 per cent or 21 Singapore cents higher at S$2.72 on high volume.
The spike in SIA Engineering shares may indicate the possibility of privatisation by parent company Singapore Airlines (SIA), DBS analysts said on Friday morning in a research note before the SGX query was issued.
DBS analysts Paul Yong and Suvro Sarkar called the stock&rsquo s volatility " uncharacteristically high" , which they believe could have been fuelled by renewed talk of privatisation by SIA.
 
 
 
 
" SIA Engineering&rsquo s stock price has performed poorly of late, and could thus provide a value-for-money privatisation target for SIA,&rdquo they said.
 
 
 
For the past 12 months, SIA Engineering&rsquo s share price has trended down 20 per cent to S$2.51 prior to the sharp rise, on " uninspiring" quarterly results and lower dividend expectations, said the analysts.
With SIA&rsquo s close to 78 per cent stake in SIA Engineering&rsquo s maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) unit and the stock&rsquo s low liquidity, the rationale for privatisation would be " pretty strong" , DBS said.
In addition, SIA being a cash rich company means it would not have to leverage on the equity capital markets for financing, along with not having any significant acquisitions under its belt.
However, remaining separately listed from SIA will give SIA Engineering an &ldquo aura of independence&rdquo , important in retaining perception as an independent MRO provider, said the analysts. This is because it has to bid for work from other airlines, which currently accounts for around 40 per cent of its revenue.
Should the privatisation materialise, DBS is estimating a premium of around 10 to 30 per cent above the last closing price, translating to an offer price of between S$2.75 and S$3.26 per share.
DBS has thus upgraded SIA Engineering to " buy" based on the M& A or privatisation premium, with a raised target price of S$3.01. It said current valuations for the firm are at multi-year lows of about 16 times forward price-to-earnings, and dividend yield is healthy at close to 4.5 per cent.  Downside risks are thus limited even if the privatisation does not materialise, it said.
DBS added that it would cost SIA S$748 million to privatise SIA Engineering at S$3.01 per share for remaining shares it does not already own, which is 22 per cent.
A privatisation would also buy more time for SIA to restructure or streamline SIA Engineering as needed.
For SIA&rsquo s own earnings, privatisation can provide a marginal one per cent uplift to the airline&rsquo s fiscal 2020 earnings, and two per cent to its fiscal 2021 earnings, assuming the cost of debt of 3 per cent and six months contribution in the financial year ending March 2020, said DBS.
Yup, there are signs of funds flowing to other markets. DYODD.

Yup, potential privatization. At this rate of rumour, I believe $3.50 is possible before ex-D dividend on 24 July.
The backing on SIA Engineering is really strong, with no sign of retracement. I rarely see this sign.

Nice, closed at highest of the day @ $2.72, with no sign of retracement.
Looks like SIA Engineering can expect to see $3 next week.
