Sembcorp (SGX:U96) | SGinvestors.io
  • With the completion of the S$5.6b Alinta acquisition expected to happen by end-1H26, we have incorporated its earnings and cashflow into our model. As announced by Sembcorp Industries, the Alinta acquisition would have been earnings-accretive on day one with pro forma EPS for the 12 months to end-1H25 rising by 14% to S$0.65 and ROE expanding from 19.7% to 22.5%.
