SATS Earnings Could Face Headwinds

Dow Jones05-28

0216 GMT - SATS faces an earnings hit due to some headwinds, DBS Group Research's Jason Sum says in a report. The Singapore-listed company's air-cargo division comes under pressure from trade tensions and the removal of de minimis exemptions in the U.S., the analyst says. DBS cuts its FY 2026 and FY 2027 net profit forecasts for SATS by 14% and 8%, respectively, due to reduced trade and limited opportunities for trade diversion. It lowers the stock's target price to S$3.50 from S$4.00. However, rising air-passenger traffic and SATS's fresh-frozen meal strategy should underpin solid growth in its aviation-food and ground-handling businesses, says DBS, which maintains a buy rating. Shares are 0.3% lower at S$3.10. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
