Keppel expects 4.0% net profit growth for FY2012E

Keppel Corporation said year-on-year increase of 9.6% in net profit is expected for FY2010E. A slow and steady growth in its net profit is forecasted for the next three years. They forecast year-on-year increases of 2.3% and 4.0% in net profit for FY2011E and FY2012E.

They expect slower growth in FY2011E because Keppel secured fewer offshore and marine orders during the financial crisis. In addition, the cooling measures on the property market imposed by the Singapore and Chinese governments are expected to result in slower growth in property sales in FY2011E. Nevertheless, Keppel expects faster growth of 4.0% in FY2012E as Keppel has started to obtain more orders for oil rigs. The property demand is also likely to improve in FY2012E after achieving greater stability in property prices in FY2011E.

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.
