Top F&B picks as sector continues recover in post-2019 era

The January Singstat figures showed that there is “meaningful recovery.”

The food and beverage sector is about to recover as restaurants report increased sales supported by recreational and corporate dine-in events and increasing tourist arrivals.

Food inflation has also continued to inch up, leaving coffee shops and restaurants to raise their prices.

As a result, CGS-CIMB sees Jumbo as top stock in the food and beverage firms amidst these developments.

Jumbo has an overweight rating as it has a potential strong earnings rebound, with price increases and traffic growth contributing to it. 

Kimly, however, has a hold rating due to its outlet closures and limited price pass-throughs.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
