Here’s why Sheng Siong is solid as a rock despite Brexit jitters

Current earnings are solely exposed to Singapore, for starters.

Amid near-term volatility and longer term potential fallout from Brexit, analysts recommend taking shelter in Sheng Siong Group (SSG) stock.

According to a report by OCBC, SSG is a preferred pick in the consumer sector as it is relatively defensive as a consumer staples company.

In addition, with SSG’s current earnings solely exposed to Singapore, there should not be material immediate implications.

While SSG’s first store in China is scheduled to open around 4Q16, there are no expected significant changes to its earnings profile in the near term. 

Further, OCBC believes that the stock still retains stability in its market share and margins.

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.
