What's in store for Sheng Siong this year?

The impact from impending closures could be felt starting 3Q17.

After reporting a fairly resilient result for the past quarter, Sheng Siong is poised to brace for impact from its scheduled store closures.

According to OCBC Investment Research, Sheng Siong would feel the impact from the closures of its sites in The Verge in June and Woodlands in August starting the third quarter of the current year.

"Competition remains keen in the industry, whilst a handful of new stores are expected to be opened this year by Sheng Siong Group's peers," OCBC Investment Research said.

However, all hope is not lost for Sheng Siong as there are areas that would likely continue to help the group including the new stores that opened last year.

"Opportunities for opening new stores still exist," it noted.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
