Singapore Post Maintains Q3 Profit as Domestic eCommerce Growth Offsets Mail Declines

Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Singapore Post ( (SG:S08) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Singapore Post reported third-quarter revenue of S$92.3 million and operating profit of S$3.8 million, as growth in domestic eCommerce deliveries and improved property leasing income were more than offset by continued declines in letter mail and cross-border eCommerce volumes. Despite a 26.8% year-on-year drop in revenue, the company preserved profitability through a 26.2% reduction in operating expenses, aided by lower volume-related costs and labour savings after divesting its Australia operations.

Domestic eCommerce volumes rose 11.6% year-on-year during the seasonal peak, reaching their highest monthly level in two years as Singapore Post continued to prioritise market share gains in its home market. The results underscore a strategic shift toward higher-growth eCommerce logistics and property earnings, while legacy mail and cross-border businesses remain a drag on topline performance but are being mitigated by disciplined cost management.

The most recent analyst rating on (SG:S08) stock is a Hold with a S$0.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Singapore Post stock, see the SG:S08 Stock Forecast page.
