These stocks are the biggest winners with the generous Jubilee Budget

Transport plays and REITs should get a boost.

The lavish Jubilee Budget will give certain stocks a big boost. According to UBS, companies in the transport sector and REITs should emerge as the biggest winners thanks to the budget.

Transport sector stocks such as NOL, SIA, SMRT, ComfortDelGro, SingPost, and SATS should get a boost from lower oil prices and massive infrastructure spending, while REITs should also benefit from extended tax concessions.

“Initially, the direct uplift from lower electricity and wage costs to EPS could appear small, but we argue that cumulative effects over time could be more powerful (and exceed market expectations) as savings gradually make their way through each company's supply chain. Savings on overhead costs could drive mild (1-2%) uplift to DPU estimates. Meanwhile, with inflation concerns taking a backseat, more benign than expected outlook for US Fed rates and a sharp pull back in the SGS10Y bond yield should keep valuations supported,” UBS stated.

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.
