CMA earnings potential starting to impress

Enough for Maybank to raise its forecasts.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, CMA’s 1Q13 core PATMI of SGD67.8m was above expectations, mainly on the back of contributions from new malls, absence of significant pre-opening expenses and lower taxes.

Tenant sales growth in Singapore and China remained healthy, which will underpin rental reversions in future. Shopper traffic in China unexpectedly dipped in 1Q13, which is most likely due to the ongoing bird flu scare and likely to be temporary.

Maybank Kim Eng said CMA’s earnings growth is coming through nicely even as another six malls will open this year. The brokerage research firm raised its FY13-15F forecasts by 5-10%.

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.
