Let’s take a closer look at it.
Strong Numbers
In August, the company published its first-half earnings for 2023, with a strong recovery in sales across all its segments. During the period, the company’s revenues grew by 63% to SG$1.08 billion. Also, its net profit surged to S$276.7 million, marking a substantial growth rate of 228% compared to the first half of 2022.
The stock also ticks the box for income investors with its dividend yield of 4.1%. Following its robust first-half earnings in 2023, the company increased its interim dividend by 50%, raising it from S$0.01 to S$0.015.
This year, the company expects its EBITDA to grow by 29% to S$997 million compared to 2022.
Analysts’ View
Following the positive set of results, many analysts have maintained their Buy recommendations over the last month, predicting more upside.
Analysts believe that as China continues its efforts to gradually reinstate air travel, its flight capacity will further increase to reach approximately 70%-80% of 2019 levels in the second half of 2023 from the current level of 50%. Genting is in a favorable position to capitalize on the upsurge in air capacity and tourism influx to Singapore, with a particular focus on visitors from China.
