0920 GMT - Singapore Airlines' passenger yields may narrow further in 2H, Phillip Securities Research analyst Liu Miaomiao writes in a note. As new capacity continues to enter the market, competition is stiffening, Liu says. The average fare per passenger declined over 10% in 1H amid a more promotional environment, which will likely intensify going into 2H, Liu adds. However, given the positive demand, SIA should benefit from higher contributions from subsidiaries and associates that operate in downstream segments like repair and maintenance services, Liu adds. Phillip Securities cuts its fiscal 2025 net profit forecast by 17%. It retains a reduce recommendation on the stock and trims the target price to S$5.25 from S$5.30. Shares are 0.2% lower at S$6.28.
