Attractive yield differentials. With Singapore government bond yields trending lower, the yield differential between fixed income and equities has narrowed in 2025, thus reinforcing the relative appeal of companies offering high, sustainable dividend payouts. Equity yields in the 4-6% range now offer a compelling pickup versus the 10-year Singapore Government Bond yield (1.8579% as at 4 Sep 25), while also providing potential for capital gains. In our view, this widening yield gap should support...

SATS’ FY25 core net profit of S$260m (+199% yoy) came in slightly above expectations, thanks to stronger-than-expected cargo revenue in 4QFY25. Despite the ongoing tariff uncertainties, management reaffirmed its target for positive cargo volume growth in FY26, backed by new commercial wins. While we are largely cautious on the global trade outlook, we reckon that market sentiment toward SATS could turn more bullish if the company delivers even modest growth. Upgrade SATS to BUY. Target price: S$...

The escalating tariff war poses significant uncertainties for the global trade outlook in the medium term. SATS, due to its significant 50%/25% revenue exposure to the global/US air cargo handling business, is poised to be negatively impacted by a potential setback in globalisation and decline in global trade volume. We tentatively cut our FY26-27 air cargo volume projections for SATS by 5%, and lower our earnings projections by 17-18%. Downgrade SATS to HOLD. Target price: S$2.89.

The selloff driven by the US’ unprecedented and perplexing tariff plans has liberated many investors of profits this year. Given the fluidity of market conditions, we highlight a number of domestic-focused stocks such as CENT, CD, DFI, HLA, PANU, PROP, RFMD, SSG and SIE as well as Singapore-focused REITS such as CDLHT, FEHT, FCT, KREIT, LREIT and PREIT. In addition, the MAS’ equity market review should inject much needed liquidity in 2H25. We lower our STI target to 3,720 (previously 4,115).
