SIA's net profit expected to soar 25%

On the back of higher passenger loads and improving cargo profitability.

Singapore’s flag-carrier might reflect a 25% growth in net profit for 4Q17, analysts say.

According to UOB KayHian, the rise in net profit to $150.6m may be brought about by the higher pax loads and improving cargo profitability.

"Potential earnings surprises could come from a further write-down on the TigerAir brand or higher pax yields," it said.

More so, the brokerage firm noted that SIA might be boosted by marginal fuel hedging.

It added, "At the non-operating level, we have imputed 112m in provisions for cargo fines, which SIA has announced, and a further $31m in impairment of TigerAir brand."

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
