Can CapitaLand push its dividends higher?

It has unrecognised revenue worth $3.8b from China and Vietnam.

Upon the release of CapitaLand's results, the company also announced a dividend of 12 cents per share, 20% higher than the 2016 amount.

DBS Equity Research thinks the dividend hike is a "nice surprise" that the group can sustain in 2018.

According to a report, CapitaLand can have stronger recurring income from its investment portfolio, given improving business fundamentals.

The dividend hike can be sustained through gains from the sale of 20 retail malls to be completed in 1H2018 and improving operational performance for recently completed retail malls.

Unrecognised revenues of around $3.8b from China and Vietnam offer strong income visibility.

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.
