Singapore Airlines is likely well-placed to weather tariff-related impact and volatility, OCBC Investment Research's Ada Lim says in a research report, citing the airline's management.

These aren't expected to be as severe as Covid-19's fallout, thanks to SIA's strong foundation, diversified group network, extensive panel of strategic partners and commitment to cost management, the analyst notes.

OCBC also remains confident that SIA's brand proposition, service quality and product innovation will allow it to navigate the volatility.

OCBC raises the stock's fair value estimate to S$6.80 from S$6.50 to partly reflect fine-tuned assumptions, while maintaining the hold rating.

Shares are 1.2% higher at S$6.98.
