Keppel Corporation Great change ahead
■ We are pleasantly surprised by the S$0.15 DPS in 1H22 (vs. our expectation of S$0.12-0.13), despite a slower pace of monetisation (S$710m YTD). ■ This is on the back of a strong set of 1H22 results, 13% higher than our expectations, positively surprised by O&M, asset management and FV gains. ■ TP is raised to S$9.37 to reflect asset-light urban development strategy and ex-O&M. Catalysts: stronger-than-expected asset monetisation and dividend.
