Equity Bottom-Up

Singapore Post’s H1 trading was ‘resilient’, despite challenging market conditions across several of its businesses. Revenue increased by 20%, mainly due to the inclusion of the March 2024 acquisition of Border Express. This fed through to operating profit growth, which was up more than 60%. Divisional profit performance was mixed due to a number of issues but benefit was generated from internal initiatives and the postal rate increase introduced last year. However, there was no new news of the ongoing review of the Australian business.

Singapore Post - Results boosted by M&A and reduced losses

The Q125 results shine a light on the latest initiatives to underpin the inherent value within Singapore Post, which include a review of the Australian operations and ongoing discussions with the Singapore government on postal services. SingPost’s transformation from a post and parcel delivery company into a global logistics operator appears to have slipped under the radar of investors and now offers an opportunity for investors to reassess its potential. Our forecasts and valuation are unchanged and we believe there is now c 60% upside in the share price.

Singapore Post - Q1 profits more than double

At the AGM management discussed the outcome of Singapore Post’s strategic review and the recently announced strategic review into value creation options relating to the Australian logistics business. In our view, expansion in the Australian logistics market offers long-term growth and that historical issues surrounding structural weakness in postal volumes may be resolved by growth in replacement volumes from e-commerce. We continue to believe there is more than 60% upside in the share price.

Singapore Post - AGM update confirms review intentions

The ongoing transformation of Singapore Post (SingPost) from a post and parcel delivery company into a global logistics operator appears to have slipped under the radar of investors and now offers an opportunity for investors to reassess its potential. We believe expansion into the Australian logistics market offers long-term growth and that historical issues surrounding structural weakness in postal volumes may be resolved by growth in replacement volumes from e-commerce and review of postal services in constructive engagement with the regulator. Implementing the March 2024 strategic review recommendations could help unlock value. We believe there is c 50% upside in the share price.
