Here’s the lone disappointment in SATS’ impressive earnings growth

Its overseas assocaites aren't doing quite as well.

The airline services provider has been soaring quite well in the current turbulent stratosphere of the economy, recently registering a 6.5% top-line growth--a feat in itself.

However, according to analysts from UOB Kay Hian, it is both impressed by the organic top-line growth and cost savings of the company, but disappointed with the weakness at its overseas associates.

Meanwhile, UOB Kay Hian remains hopeful of the long term growth potential from recently announced JVs.

“SATS highlighted plans to expand beyond non-aviation catering and specifically mentioned expansion plans in Japan. We reckon it could introduce halal catering to TFK and this could be significant if Japan manages to court the Middle Eastern carriers,” UOB Kay Hian said.

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.
