Sheng Siong Stands to Benefit From Rising Inflation -- Market Talk

Dow Jones2022-05-24

0451 GMT - Sheng Siong Group stands to benefit from rising inflation, says RHB Research analyst Jarick Seet in a research report. Rising inflation may spur more people to stay home and have more home-cooked meals, which could benefit the Singapore-listed value-for-money supermarket chain operator, the analyst says. Sheng Siong will also likely be able to raise prices to pass on costs while maintaining earnings margins, which it has done in the past when prices rose, the analyst adds. RHB Research raises the stock's rating to buy from neutral and increases target price to S$1.78 from S$1.51. Shares are 0.7% lower at S$1.51. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
