United Securities Dividend Strategy
Oman Top-25 Yield Picks:
A Review of our Model Portfolio
2
Rationale
The start of 2013 witnessed price spikes across all stocks in MSM on the back of robust
corporate earnings and incremental payouts from MSM stocks. The same resulted in MSM
rallying by 4% on a YTD basis and volumes rebounding by 92% YoY in the first two months
of the year with RO 300 million vs RO 157 million in 2012 (End of feb). With Oman based
investors focusing to rebalance returns for rest of 2013, we believe including stocks with
consistency in dividends alongside quality fundamentals would be the right strategy to
implement. Hence to initiate such strategy and take rebalancing to full effect, we assigned a
top-down methodology and screened top-25 stocks in Oman, which additionally offers
reasonable valuations. The rationale for the stock selection are based on the following
criteria:
Criteria for Payout strategy
Dividend yields in excess of 4.5% are selected, whilst excluding companies with special
payouts over the past five years.
The picks are selected from companies with market capitalization in excess of RO 20
million, a diversified portfolio of Emerging small caps and blue chips.
Stocks with consistent track record of dividend payout, with average payout ratio in
excess of 30%
Key changes to our Model Portfolio since our last report on January 13th, 2013
The exclusions post our screening criteria are Bank Sohar, OIFC, Oman Chlorine,Al
Maha Petroleum, Shell Oman due to lowering yields and payouts, while OHI, Oman
Flour Mills has are advised to have a longer holding period from the next dividend
ex:date. Additionally, we have removed Oman Cables due to the miss in cut-off date.
The inclusions are Al Jazeira Services Co, Dhofar Cattle feed, Voltamp Energy, Salalah
Port Services, Muscat Finance, National Finance and Raysut Cement to the list due to
effect of increase in payouts and yields.
Investment Strategy: Summary
Oman Top-25 Yield Picks
Oman Equity Strategy
March 6 , 2013
Source: Company data and Bloomberg. Data as of March 5th ,2013 1) For AGM date, CMA regulations require companies to conduct AGM within 3 months of completion of financial year. 2)
Al Kamil, Omantel, SMN Power and Acwa Power has interim dividend payouts, hence yields are annualized. For leasing companies, CBO is still reviewing the dividend and may change,
which is a risk to our model portfolio and applies to other stocks as well.

Salient features of the model portfolio
DPS growth rate: Out of the 25 picks in the model portfolio, 12 stocks had dividend growth rate (CAGR) in excess of 10% during the past five years, while 5
of them had growth rate between 0% to 5% and the rest had de-growth in dividends offered from the base year. On a YoY basis in 2012, 13 stocks
witnessed a growth in dividends in excess of 10%, while 9 of them had either maintained or grown at a rate less than 10%. Al Jazeira Services, ONIC
Holding and Dhofar Cattle feed coupled with leasing companies, had almost doubled the dividends.
Yield: The portfolio provides average yield of 7.0% vs 4.6% for the MSM currently, with 19 companies witnessed dividend growth and 6 of them maintained
the same DPS making all the 25 companies showing a greenish dividend growth rate trend. Out of 25 companies, 6 stocks have yield above 8% while 9
stocks have yield ranging 6% to 8% with Al Kamil topping the list with 11.6% yield.
EPS growth rate: 12 stocks had EPS growth rate (CAGR) in excess of 5% over the past five years, while 2 of them had growth rate ranging between 0% to
5% and 11 of them had de-growth in EPS during 2007-12. However in 2012, 19 stocks had growth rate exceeding 10%.
Payout : The portfolio provides an average payout in excess of 58% during 2007-12. Out of the total,16 stocks has good track record of consistently paying
dividends over the past five years, while only 5 of them missed the 5 years track record with the exception of Sohar Power, SMN Power and Nawras which
was listed post 2007-08 period. There are 4 stocks which had a payout range exceeding 80%, while 13 stocks falling in the 50% to 70% range.
Return on Equity: (ROE) The portfolio provided an average ROE of 19% over the past five years with most of the stocks falling in the ROE range of 13%-
20% range. We have noticed only 4 stocks having an ROE range of 20-30% with the exception of Jazeera Steel which is operating at 6% ROE due to
nature of its cyclicality in operations. Acwa Power has the highest ROE exceeding 40% due to its lower retention ratio’s.
Sector Concentration: The portfolio has 6 stocks from the leasing sector which commands the highest concentration due to high payouts followed by Power
sector. The other sectors include telecom, cement, banks and investment holding. Utilities were the highest yield players with average of 9.5% yield,
followed by investment holding.
Index Weights: The model portfolio have relatively better trading liquidity with 5 of them Index heavy weights and has a minimum of 5% weightage in the
MSM 30 index. Additionally, the re are 8 stocks in the MSM30 and six stocks from Bloomberg GCC 200 Index
Market Cap: The combined market cap of the portfolio is RO 3.6 billion, c. 62% of the MSM30 market cap and 44% of the MSM listed stocks, which is at RO
8.09 billion. The top five companies account for 65% of total portfolio market cap which mainly contributed by Omantel, Nawras, NBO, Raysut Cement and
Shell Oman Marketing which has a combined market cap of 28% of the MSM market cap.
