Stock Idea: PropNexโ€™s winning formula: The people behind the property boom

โ€ข Market Leadership & Business Model: PropNex is Singaporeโ€™s largest real estate agency by number of agents, operating an asset-light, low-debt model across four segments: agency services, project marketing, administrative support, and training. Its earnings are mainly driven by commissions from property transactions, with the agency retaining around 10 to 30% per transaction.

โ€ข Financial Strength & Shareholder Returns: The company delivers superior ROE (32.9% in 2024 vs 4.6% for its peer ERA), strong net margins, and high dividend payouts supported by minimal debt and net cash. Interim dividend of 5 cents per share for 1H25 reflects a payout ratio of 88%, underlining shareholder-oriented capital allocation.

โ€ข Valuation & Upside Potential: Trading at 17.9X forward P/E, two standard deviations above its historical average as well as APAC Realty, PropNex remains attractive on a forward-looking basis. Strong earnings growth from new launches, proprietary technology and dominant market position support a target price of SGD 2.98, implying 58.6% upside and 5.8% estimated dividend yield.

3 Things You Need To Know

1. Donald Trump said the US will raise tariffs on several European countries until it is allowed to buy Greenland, escalating tensions over the Danish territory, starting with a 10% tariff on February 1 and rise to 25% by June 1 if no deal is reached.

2. South Korea is seeking favourable terms for US tariffs on imports of memory chips, following South Korea's trade minister said US tariffs on chips would have a limited impact on South Korean companies.

3. Suppliers of components for Nvidiaโ€™s H200 chips have halted production after Chinese customs stopped shipments of the newly approved AI processors from entering China.

Macro Research: 2026 SGD Bond Market Outlook: Finding Stable Income in a Low-Yield World

โ€ข Amid moderating global growth and trade-related uncertainties, Singapore bonds continued to provide a degree of stability in 2025. Singapore government and SGD corporate bonds have delivered attractive total returns of 8.3% and 6.7%, respectively in 2025.

โ€ข We expect a supportive demand-supply environment in 2026, with new issuances likely well absorbed, helping to support SGD bond prices going forward. Investors can also look forward to more income opportunities as bond issuances are likely to stay robust.

โ€ข SGD corporate bonds continue to remain a durable source for higher income, particularly for hold-to-maturity strategies. Within financials, Tier 2 SGD bank bonds appear attractive. Among non-financials, we prefer bonds from issuers with stable or improving credit profiles and with spreads that are wider than peers.

Global markets tumbled as US tariff threats against the EU reignited fears of renewed geopolitical tensions

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ S&P 500: 6,945 (0.00%) Market Closed

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฌ STI: 4,835 (-0.29%) ๐Ÿ“‰

3 Things You Need To Know

1. EU could retaliate against US President Donald Trumpโ€™s Greenland-related threats by imposing up to โ‚ฌ93 billion (USD $107.7 billion) in tariffs or by limiting U.S. companiesโ€™ access to the EU market.

2. Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced a snap general election, pledging to suspend the 8% food tax for two years, a proposal that mirrors her rivalsโ€™ plans despite concerns over Japanโ€™s already fragile public finances, pushing Japanese 30yr government bond yields above 3.6%.

3. Only one thing that hasnโ€™t experienced a meaningful pullback since 2022 โ€“ Japanese government bond yields, is this an extra risk premium as Japan exits its loss decadeโ€ฆ. or rather a calm before the storm?

Stock Idea: From concrete to innovation: How Pan-United is shaping a greener future

โ€ข Market-leading position with strong sustainability focus: Pan-United is Singaporeโ€™s largest ready-mix concrete (RMC) supplier, backed by decades of involvement in national mega-infrastructure projects. Its leadership in carbon-mineralised concrete solutions positions the company as the preferred partner for both public and private sector developments increasingly prioritising sustainability.

โ€ข Earnings visibility underpinned by mega projects and solutions expansion: Pan-United is poised to benefit from major upcoming projects, including Changi Airport Terminal 5 and key transport infrastructure upgrades, providing multi-year earnings visibility. Concurrently, the firm is transitioning from a pure RMC supplier to a broader solutions provider through its innovation portfolio, enhancing margins and deepening competitive moats.

โ€ข Attractive upside potential: Applying a fair forward P/E multiple of 14x, we derive a target price of SGD 1.37, based on our three-year forward earnings forecast. This implies an upside potential of 17.9%, supported by rising demand for green construction materials, strong fundamentals and visible growth catalysts.

Macro Research: Trump puts further pressure on the Fed โ€“ what should you do?

โ€ข On 11 January 2026 (Sunday), Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell disclosed that the Fed had been served with grand jury subpoenas by the Department of Justice (DOJ).

โ€ข In response, Powell delivered a strongly worded statement via a recorded video. The market reaction to this subpoena was relatively muted.

โ€ข We continue to belief in further yield curve steepening in 2026, and think a mix of short and medium-term bonds could help investors navigate this interest rate environment.

Macro Research: Trumpโ€™s Iran tariff threats: China can absorb the shock, but India canโ€™t

โ€ข Trump announced that countries doing business with Iran may face a 25% tariff on US trade, placing major partners such as China and India under potential pressure.

โ€ข We reiterated our positive stance on China. Multiple catalysts provide a constructive backdrop for Chinese equities, supporting a positive market outlook despite external uncertainties.

โ€ข In contrast, India faces greater downside risks due to limited countermeasures, export vulnerability and expensive valuation.
