FCT’s suburban malls saw an influx of shopper traffic and tenant sales increased 4.3% yoy in 2QFY24, which exceeded pre-pandemic levels by 20%. Positive rental reversion picked up to 7.5% in 1HFY24 (FY23: 4.7%). NEX would be enhanced by: a) decanting existing car park space for conversion into 60,000sf of commercial space, and b) rightsizing the tenant mix to reduce the reliance on anchor tenants. FCT provides a defensive FY25 distribution yield of 5.5%. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$2.71.

KEP reported better-than-expected results for 2023 due to a strong operating performance from its infrastructure and connectivity segments. The former saw a particularly strong 135% yoy increase in net profit with management implying that its mid- to high-teens profit margins are sustainable.

TRADERS’ CORNER AEM Holdings (AEM SP): Trading BUY Delfi (DELFI SP): Trading SELL
KEP’s 9M23 business update was in line and generally positive although China real estate was the key drag as expected. In the near to medium term, asset monetisation as well as the potential sale of rigs within the Asset Co could be key share price drivers. In our view, KEP’s valuations are very attractive with 2024F PE of 11.7x and P/B of 0.9x. Maintain BUY. Target price: S$9.09.
