CapitaMalls Asia's 2Q13F operating profit predicted to hit $106m

Here are its key growth drivers.

According to Nomura, excluding revaluation and portfolio gains as well as other non-operating items, 2Q13F core operating profit (EBIT + associates) is estimated at SGD106mn, vs. SGD84mn in 1Q13 and SGD54mn in 2Q12, and 1H13 core operating profit (EBIT + associates) of SGD190mn met 48% of full-year forecast.

CMA’s core earnings recovery therefore appears on track to meet Nomura's expectations.

"It appears the key drivers for CAPL’s ROE expansion in FY13-15F, such as the growth in core operating profit, potential revaluation gains (Bedok Mall, Westgate) and potential asset divestments (The Star Vista, Bedok Mall), are coming from CMA – i.e. with CMA, investors get most of the growth without the potential downside risk from the residential market in Singapore (or China)," Nomura said.

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. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. 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.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
