How Keppel Land's latest link with China Vanke could boost its business

Is the future in China well secured now?

According to DBS, Keppel Land is trading at an attractive 40% discount to its revalued asset backing of $6.21. 

It has a portfolio of premium office assets held directly and through its REIT platform, in addition to a diverse landbank in China and Singapore that includes mixed retail and commercial land parcels as well as residential sites.

Here's more from DBS:

Its balance sheet is healthy at 0.4x gearing and a target optimal level of 0.6x provides a further debt headroom of $1.4b.

The recent tie-up with China Vanke for The Glades mid-market residential project in Tanah Merah as the first move under this strategic alliance could also pan out well for its future activities in China.

Our revised TP of $4.35, premised on a higher 30% discount to RNAV, offers investors 17% upside.

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.
