Developers to be picky with bidding

This as they are said to replenish their much-depleted landholdings.

A report from DBS Vickers said it would adopt a bottom-up stock picking strategy and prefer companies with a diversified business model and strong balance sheet capacity to acquire sites selectively.

DBS Vickers also noted:

We expect developers to be selective in their land bidding activities and bid prices going forward as they replenish their much-depleted landholdings and in view of the capped price upside. In terms of valuations, the sector is trading at a 29% discount to RNAV, which is slightly below the –0.5SD to mean level. At this point we believe much of the headwinds appear to have been factored in but near term catalysts are lacking and stocks could trade range bound.

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.
