Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Sheng Siong reported a notable decline in same-store sales and operating profits (ex-one off income) for 6M/FY Dec2022 even as it marginally increased annual dividend payout to 70.5%.</li>
<li>With Singapore's 10-year Gov. bond yields at 3.34% (vs. sub1%, 3 years ago), dividend yield players like Sheng Siong (SSG SP) may not offer attractive risk-reward at current levels.</li>
<li>Sheng Siong has traded at dividend yields ranging 3%-3.9% over past 3 years, mostly at a premium to Gov. bond yields. Given muted dividend growth potential, stock faces downside risk.</li>
