Singapore’s 1H25 results season was resilient, with 75% of companies meeting or beating expectations despite tariff uncertainty and strength of the Singapore dollar. Banks delivered stable earnings and attractive yields, underpinning the STI. Consumer names like DFI and SSG stood out, while REITs showed positive rental reversions. Capital recycling drove upgrades for CIT and VMS. We raise our end-25 STI target to 4,602, reflecting 8% upside and attractive valuations versus history and peers.

Singtel’s 1QFY26 underlying net profit grew by 14% yoy, driven by EBIT improvement from Optus and NCS and stronger Airtel and AIS contribution. Optus and NCS EBITDA rose 9% yoy and 15% yoy on a constant currency basis. Management is on track to achieve double-digit ROIC and deliver its Singtel28 growth plan. Digital Infraco is expected to deliver stronger earnings with the eventual completion of data centre in Thailand and Singapore. Maintain BUY with an SOTP-based target price of S$4.58.
TRUE reported a net profit of Bt2.0b for 2Q25, in line with our forecasts but below consensus by 11%. The stronger net profit was supported by: a) a higher gross profit margin, b) lower-than-expected SG&A-to-sales, c) lower interest expense, d) lesser cost of asset impairment, and e) tax gains. ARPU figures of the mobile and FBB businesses were also impressive. We still like TRUE and expect its improved earnings outlook to continue into 2H25. Maintain BUY with a target price of Bt15.70.

In line with Singtel’s ST28 growth plan, the group continues to improve its ROIC through better core operational performance while doubling down on its future growth drivers, NCS and Nxera. Additionally, the asset monetisation pipeline has been raised from S$6b to S$9b, offering sustainable 3-6 cents/share VRD over FY26-28. We believe this is a conservative estimate, with additional asset monetisation from regional associates and non-core assets. Maintain BUY. Target price of S$4.58.
