Revenue decline amid operational challenges
• Rotated out as our model identified more attractive alternatives in the property sector.
• Revenue declined by 2.2% over the last twelve months, with a sharper 6.1% drop in the most recent quarter.
• The company faces headwinds from weaker hospitality performance, with Singapore visitor arrivals down 1.3% year-on-year.
• Operational disruptions from ongoing refurbishment works and a cybersecurity incident in March 2025 have created uncertainty.
• Despite challenges, the company maintains a healthy 50.6% gross margin and 3.1% dividend yield.
• Trading at 0.46x book value suggests potential value, but our model found stronger growth profiles elsewhere. This change reflects portfolio rotation, not a sell signal.
