Singapore’s Big Winner this Week: SMRT Corporation Ltd | The Motley Fool Singapore:
On 17 September, SMRT’s shares went up 6.9%. This led stock market regulator, Singapore Exchange Limited (SGX: S68), to issue a query to get an explanation over the “unusual” price movements in its shares. In its reply, the transport outfit said that it is unaware of any information not previously announced concerning the firm, which might explain the trading. It went on to add that it will “make the necessary disclosures (if any) at the appropriate time”.
The next day, the firm announced that it had appointed Mr Colin Lim Fung Wan as the Managing Director of SMRT Services. He will look after the rail-related technical services and support functions on our shores and also overseas.
In a separate announcement on the same day, SMRT made public that it had incorporated two wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries here. They are SMRT Advertising & Properties Pte Ltd and The X Collective Pte Ltd.
SMRT Advertising & Properties is involved in “advertising activities and real estate activities with owned or leased property within the public transport network”, while The X Collective does “marketing and leasing of commercial spaces, retail management and operations, advertising and marketing, and digital and e-commerce”.
SMRT is currently trading at 23 times its historical earnings per share and has a dividend yield of 2.4%.
