Straits Trading forecasts H1 net loss

This comes as the value of its UK investment properties dropped.

Straits Trading Company is expecting to report a net loss for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (H1 2025) based on the preliminary review of its unaudited consolidated results.

It was primarily because the value of its UK investment properties dropped due to higher capitalisation rates and weaker market sentiment.

An additional loss came from the remeasurement of Exchangeable Bonds after a redemption event.

The company is in the process of finalising its unaudited consolidated results and will disclose further details by 14 August 2025.

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.
