0253 GMT - Sheng Siong Group's tailwind from government-issued vouchers has likely been priced into its shares, leading DBS Group Research's Zheng Feng Chee to downgrade the stock to hold from buy. The Singapore-based grocery retailer's shares have rallied above DBS's target price of S$2.60, likely reflecting the vouchers and funds stemming from the city-state's equity-market development program, the analyst writes in a note. Still, Chee expects Sheng Siong to post above-industry top-line growth of 8.0% next year, thanks to upside from the vouchers. The company's economies of scale and operating leverage are also likely to drive stronger earnings growth of around 10% in 2026, he says. Shares rise 1.15% to S$2.65. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
