Earnings forecast for Singapore firms trimmed by 1.3% in FY14

See which sectors could post biggest earnings cuts.

According to DBS, it has tweaked FY14 earnings down by 1.3%.

Here's more:

We now expect FY14F earnings growth of 12% and 9% in FY15F. In terms of sectors, the biggest earnings cuts in % terms vs the previous quarter were from Technology (CSE Global, Venture), Real Estate (CapitaLand, Wing Tai) and Financials (Hutchison Port).

HPH Trust was a big drag on non-bank financials as FY14F earnings were lowered by 20%, affected by higher operating costs and taxes. Real estate earnings were impacted by deferred recognition of pre-sold units and expectations of lower ASPs.

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.
