Keppel core earnings to see 8% CAGR in next two years: DBS

This is due to expanding funds under management.

DBS Group Research said that Keppel Ltd. is projected to see a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% for core earnings, excluding legacy O&M and discontinued operations, over the next two years.

This would be largely driven by expanding funds under management (FUM) in asset management.

FUM, at $88b as of the end-2024, is set to reach the $100b target ahead of the 2026 timeline, whilst Keppel aims to further grow this to $200b by 2030.

Keppel’s FY 2024 net profit, excluding legacy O&M and discontinued operations, grew by 5% year-on-year (YoY) to $1.06b, 4% ahead of DBS’s estimate.

This was partly aided by higher revaluation gains, which offset the weaker real estate development business.

The infrastructure segment remains the biggest earnings contributor, with $673m in net profit, accounting for 63% of group profits.

The real estate segment was weaker than expected, with net profit decreasing by 3% YoY to $306m, dragged by the development business.

DBS also stated that it is worth noting that asset management fees grew 54% YoY to $436m, driven by an approximate 60% increase in FUM to $88b, following the Aermont acquisition.

Moreover, the infrastructure segment is expected to continue delivering steady earnings, with approximately 70% of its total generation capacity contracted for at least three years.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers.

The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.
