â–¼(-8.54% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:05/16/26
The score is driven primarily by improving 2025 operating and cash-flow momentum but held back by a multi-year history of weak/uneven free cash flow and meaningful leverage. Technicals are currently bearish (below key moving averages with negative MACD), while valuation support comes mainly from the ~3.15% dividend yield given the unusable P/E figure.
Positive Factors
Diversified business model
Keppel’s mix of contracted infrastructure, property development and fee-based asset management provides multiple, structurally different revenue pools. This diversification reduces single-market cyclicality, supports recurring cash from utilities/fees, and allows capital recycling across cycles over months to years.
Negative Factors
Meaningful leverage on balance sheet
Debt near parity with equity creates meaningful financial leverage for a conglomerate. High absolute debt amplifies earnings and cashflow volatility, increases interest burden, and limits financial flexibility to pursue growth or absorb project setbacks without higher refinancing or liquidity risk over the medium term.

Keppel Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:Feb 04, 2026
(Q4-2025)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Jul 30, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presents a largely positive operational and strategic picture for the New Keppel: strong New Keppel net profit growth (+39% to $1.1bn), meaningful FUM growth ($95bn, on track for $100bn), record Infrastructure recurring earnings, expanded data center power bank (>1 GW) and active asset monetization with shareholder returns materially increased (total dividend $0.47/share and 58.5% TSR). However, material near‑term headwinds remain from legacy and noncore items that depressed reported overall profit (overall net profit down 16% to $789m), losses related to legacy O&M and the M1 remeasurement, and the large $13.5bn noncore portfolio that must be monetized over time. On balance the fundamentals, recurring earnings growth, strong asset management momentum and capital returns outweigh the lowlights, though execution and timing of monetizations and resolution of legacy items are key risks to watch.Positive Updates
New Keppel Net Profit Growth

Negative Updates
Overall Net Profit Decline due to Noncore/Discontinued Items
Reported overall net profit for FY2025 was $789 million, down 16% YoY from $940 million, primarily driven by a $222 million accounting loss and a $227 million discontinued operations net loss related to the proposed sale and remeasurement of M1's telco business.

Company Guidance
Management reiterated clear targets and near‑term milestones: grow FUM from $95bn (end‑2025) to $100bn by end‑2026, achieve $120m p.a. run‑rate cost savings by end‑2026 (already $98m achieved), and substantially monetize a $13.5bn non‑core portfolio by 2030 (announced ~$2.9bn and completed ~$1.6bn in 2025; ~$14.5bn announced since Oct‑2020); capital actions include a $500m buyback program (>$116m/13m shares repurchased) and a dividend policy of ordinary payouts tied to New Keppel (FY25 ordinary cash dividend $0.34/sh, final $0.19/sh) plus special dividends of 10–15% of gross monetisation value (FY25 special ≈$0.13/sh, ~15% of $1.6bn).
