CapitaLand starting to reap investment payoffs: Barclays

$20bn investments over past three years are propelling stronger equity returns.

Here's more from Barclays:

CAPL in “harvest” mode; contrarian view on Singapore office: We expect CAPL to reverse its three-year share price underperformance on: 1) improving ROEs as its S$20bn investments over the past three years begin to pay off; 2) policy moratorium, improved sales and prices in China (41% of RNAV); and 3) its relatively inexpensive trading metrics – at 10-31% below book and RNAV, the cheapest among the large cap Singapore developers. We see light at the end of the tunnel for office as rental declines have bottomed and we expect below-average new supply in the prime CBD area until 2016.

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.
