Starhub Dare+ investments brought forward
■ 1Q24 net profit (+8% yoy) was a slight beat on lower net finance costs. Service EBITDA margin of 22% in 1Q24 is in line with its FY24F guidance. ■ StarHub is accelerating its Dare+ investments in FY24. We expect cost savings and capex reduction to show more meaningfully in FY25F. ■ StarHub believes its low leverage positions the group well for potential M&A opportunities. Reiterate Add, with a higher DCF-based TP of S$1.30.

ComfortDelGro A slower start to the year
■ CD’s 1Q24 core PATMI of S$41m (-19% qoq, +24% yoy) disappointed, which management attributed to cost timings and weaker seasonality. ■ CD remains confident in its business trends and outlook; we retain our 15% yoy FY24F EPS growth forecast on UK margin recovery and recent M&As. ■ CD looks to further grow its international presence by collaborating with partners to win tenders and vis earnings-accretive M&As. Reiterate Add.

Sasseur REIT Resilient operations
■ 1Q24 EMA rental income of S$32.6m was in line, at 24.7% of our FY24F forecast. ■ Portfolio occupancy remained high at 97.9% in 1Q24; Hefei and Kunming outlets achieved higher yoy and qoq tenant sales in 1Q24. ■ Reiterate Add with a lower DDM-based TP of S$0.93

Silverlake Axis Ltd Margin hit
■ 3QFY6/24 net profit was 51% below our/consensus estimates due to weaker GPM (licencing fees tapering) and higher-than-expected opex (staff costs). ■ Contract win momentum and c.RM1.2bn deal pipeline maintained in 3QFY24 but we think its deal mix of incremental upgrades may lower GPM run-rate. ■ Downgrade to Hold with a lower TP of S$0.31 (pegged to 14x CY25F P/E) as we factor in heftier opex (which may take time to lower) and lower GPM.

SASSEUR REIT FY24e sales will be driven by promotional events
1Q24 rental income in SGD terms was within expectations at 25% of our FY24e estimates (S$32.6mn, -1.4% YoY, +1.2% YoY in RMB), representing a S$0.5mn YoY decrease due to the weakening RMB against the S$ by 2.5%. Outlet sales in RMB were 24% of our estimate (RMB 1258.7mn, -2.6% YoY), leading to a 2.2% YoY decrease of the variable component as 1Q23 had a high base post-reopening of China after the pandemic. The REIT has changed to a half-yearly dividend distribution.

▪ 1Q24 revenue update was within our expectations at 25% of our FY24e. Revenue grew an impressive 18% YoY to S$2.7bn. Around 2/3 of the growth was from commercial aerospace revenue that jumped 32% YoY to S$1.1bn. 1Q24 DPS was 4 cents unchanged. ▪ Rising aircraft flying hours, slower introduction of new engines, and increased capacity boosted revenue in aircraft MRO. Defence and public security revenue rose 14% YoY from increased demand for digital services and higher munitions sales. Satellite operations is still looking to transition customers to its multi-orbit next-gen platform.
