Frasers Property Limited's net profit to fall 7.9% to $571m in 2018

This is due to the weakening of AUD/SGD exchange rate.

DBS Group Research reported its forecast of Frasers Property Limited (FPL)’s net profit, decreasing by 7.9% YoY from $620m in 2017 to $571m this year, which is highly due to its Australian portfolio.

“The group derives an estimated 30% of PBIT from Australia which is dependent on the real estate market there, and whose returns could be impacted by the weakening AUD/SGD exchange rate,” DBS Research said.

Further, FPL’s stock has a low free float that could lead to low liquidity, with 87.9% held by TCC Group and Thai Beverage, DBS Research said.

Singapore Business Review also previously reported that its profit dipped by 46% to $136.77 in Q1 due to a decline in profit from its Europe and Asia strategic business units (SBU).

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.
