Sheng Siong’s Remarkable Growth: A Beacon for Investors

Sheng Siong Group (SSG) has reported an impressive performance in the third quarter of 2024, marking a significant 5% year-on-year increase in revenue to S\$363 million and a 12% rise in earnings to S\$39 million. This performance has positioned the company to achieve 77% of its full-year revenue forecast and 81% of its earnings target, indicating robust growth potential.

Key drivers of this growth include the opening of new stores and higher sales from existing ones, contributing to a 3.2% and 1.5% increase in revenue, respectively. The company also achieved a record gross margin of 31.3%, attributed to a better sales mix and increased contributions from house brands.

In a strategic move to enhance its retail footprint, SSG acquired properties at Siglap V and Toa Payoh for S\$50.2 million. This acquisition, financed through internal funds, provides opportunities for rental income and capital appreciation. The company plans to open a new store in Toa Payoh by the fourth quarter of 2024.

SSG’s China operations also showed promise, with a 14% year-on-year increase in sales following the opening of its sixth store. Despite incurring initial losses due to store opening costs, the nine-month period remained profitable.

Financially, SSG maintains a robust net cash position with S\$350 million in cash and no borrowings as of September 2024. This strong financial health supports its shareholder commitment with a 70% payout ratio.

Looking ahead, the company has revised its revenue forecasts upward by 2-4% for 2024-2026, anticipating further store openings and gross margin improvements. The target price for SSG has been increased to S\$1.93, reflecting the company’s growth trajectory.

Investors should note that the company’s expansion plans and strategic acquisitions are potential catalysts for share price appreciation, especially in the context of Singapore’s elevated cost of living, which could boost demand for SSG’s value offerings.
