0438 GMT - Sheng Siong Group's store openings pipeline looks strong, with management remaining committed to its target of opening three to five new stores annually, UOB Kay Hian analysts say in a research report. For 2026, a new store at 11 Rivervale Crescent in Singapore has been secured by the supermarket chain operator, and is expected to commence operations in 3Q, the analysts note. Its store-network expansion visibility is backed by the company's active Housing & Development Board tender pipeline, with four stores awaiting results, three under bidding and two additional sites likely to be released in 2H. The brokerage raises the stock's target price to S$3.00 from S$2.50 to reflect a higher 2026 P/E valuation with an unchanged buy rating. Shares are 1.15% lower at S$2.59. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
