City Developments' Sale of South Beach Stake Shows Commitment to Capital Recycling -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jun 05, 2025

0221 GMT - City Developments' proposed sale of its 50.1% stake in the South Beach asset should be a positive surprise for investors, Citi Research analyst Brandon Lee writes in a note. This is due to the property developer's slower-than-expected pace of divestments in 2024 and the iconic nature of South Beach, Lee says. The company appears to be fully committed to capital recycling--its key focus for this year. Besides unlocking significant value and delivering accretion to net asset value, Citi expects a higher pace of asset monetization. This could lead to lower net gearing and higher dividends, which are key share-price catalysts. Citi maintains the stock's buy rating and target price of S$9.51. Shares are last at S$5.16.(amanda.lee@wsj.com)
