Analysts’ Opinion
With the global recovery in air travel, the company is witnessing huge improvements in air cargo volumes. The travel segment continues to be the primary source of revenue for the group.
The company’s revenues from Greater China are expected to further increase due to the significant contribution of flights between China and Singapore, driven by the reopening of borders. Analysts also believe the decline in the share price presents an attractive opportunity for investors. The shares have traded down by almost 30% in the last year.
For the full year 2023, the company posted a 49% jump in its revenues to S$1.76 billion. The revenues exceeded analysts’ expectations and are expected to grow in a similar manner for the next two years. In 2023, the company also posted a loss of S$26.5 million due to its one-time expense for the acquisition of Worldwide Flight Services (WFS). Analysts are bullish on this acquisition, which will assist the company in establishing geographic and business resilience as it steps into its next phase of growth.
