UOL forecast to acquire new sites in FY12

Land acquisitions will be key requirements for UOL’s share price outperformance ahead, says OCBC.

Here’s more from OCBC Investment Research:

We believe that mass-market prices would be underpinned by an environment of continued low rates and abundant liquidity in FY12, and favor developers with ample land-bank outside the central region.

With only one domestic site in UOL’s land-bank currently, we view land acquisitions to be key requirements for share price outperformance ahead. Management has indicated that they are actively looking out for acquisition opportunities and, with an ample supply of residential sites in the government land sales programme, we see good odds that UOL would acquire new sites in the remainder of FY12.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
