How the possible hike in US interest rate will affect City Development

It's been underperforming peers.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, even in the recent market sell-down, CDL continues to underperform its peers both on a 1-year basis and YTD basis.

As the market remains jittery over the possibility of higher interest rates in the U.S. (hence in Singapore), analysts think this will eventually impact CDL’s RNAV as commercial cap rates may rise.

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

We believe it is still too early to be positive on the stock.

CDL has a portfolio of relatively old Grade B office developments, such as City House and Fuji Xerox Towers. Altogether, we estimate CDL’s Singapore commercial properties to account for ~29% of it s GDV.

In the event that commercial cap rates expand by 50 bps in Singapore as interest rates rise, we estimate that CDL’s RNAV would be negatively impacted by 5%.

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.
