Jardine Cycle & Carriage's Planned Sale Unlikely to Largely Weigh on Earnings -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Dec 17, 2025

0500 GMT - Jardine Cycle & Carriage's planned partial sale of Vietnam's Vinamilk is unlikely to weigh much on the former's earnings, say Citi analysts Timothy Chau and George Choi in a note. They anticipate the US$228 million in proceeds could reduce the Singapore-listed company's gearing ratio to around 22% from 30% at the end of 1H. The divestment demonstrates Jardine's commitment to its business strategy review, the analysts add. They raise their target price on the investment-holding company to S$25.10 from S$22.00, mainly to reflect the bank's recently lifted target price for subsidiary Astra International. However, Citi maintains its sell rating, given concerns over currency headwinds and sluggish growth at Astra. Shares rise 0.7% to S$33.62. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
