■ 2Q24 net profit of S$34m (+5% yoy) was in line – SSG outperformed national supermarket industry revenue growth rate, while margins continue to expand. ■ We now expect 6 store openings (vs. 4 previously) in FY24F, riding on robust supply pipeline by HDB and strong balance sheet enabling asset acquisition. ■ Reiterate Add with TP of S$1.90. We continue to like SSG’s strong execution and expect growth reacceleration in FY24F, driven by faster store openings.

■ We expect SATS to report c.S$50m net profit for 1QFY3/24F, replicating core net profit of S$47.8m in 4QFY23 with a similar margin profile. ■ We believe new contract wins should support better profitability for its gateway services segment, alongside a recovery in global air cargo demand. ■ Revenue from its solutions segment recovered to pre-Covid levels in FY24, but profitability has room to grow from optimisation of new central kitchens. ■ Reiterate Add; TP of S$4.10. We upgrade our FY25F/26F/27F earnings by 88.1%/24.7%/0.6% as we expect SATS to recover to pre-Covid profitability.
