31 per cent to S$1.24 billion in FY2025; and 10 per cent to S$1.04 billion for FY2026. His FY2024 estimate has also taken into account the one-off accounting gain of S$1.11 billion from the Air India-Vistara merger. Shares of SIA were 1.4 per cent or S$0.11 lower at S$7.66 as at the midday trading break.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":757543562199216,"gmtCreate":1687243232926,"gmtModify":1687243238715,"author":{"id":"3575535478532281","authorId":"3575535478532281","name":"MoneyLaiLai","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/639a3b03c57fa8d7cf603a5133568706","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3575535478532281","authorIdStr":"3575535478532281"},"htmlText":"🙄sometimes ppl don need their so call expertcomment kpo&nbsp;","listText":"🙄sometimes ppl don need their so call expertcomment kpo&nbsp;","text":"🙄sometimes ppl don need their so call expertcomment kpo","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/757543562199216","repostId":1174955223,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":189040339845368,"gmtCreate":1687178152425,"gmtModify":1687180553774,"author":{"id":"3571912128804490","authorId":"3571912128804490","name":"StockMaskter","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/54423ee24d3d1b6ee5a616d52dcb245a","vip":1,"hat":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a3dee1aa3a3a3c1814833a4d3f8a5669","crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3571912128804490","authorIdStr":"3571912128804490"},"htmlText":"DLLM!
