As the cost of living rises, consumers may shift toward SSG’s value-for-money products. SSG also continues to actively seek store opening opportunities in areas where it lacks a presence. Maintain BUY with an unchanged target price of S$1.88.

Hartalega Holdings (HART MK) 4QFY24: Defining Moments
Harta’s 4QFY24 results reflect sales volume expansion and marginally higher ASP, but margins were compressed due to delayed cost pass-through. Removing exceptional items, core net profit fell 25% qoq to RM1.8m. Nevertheless, FY25 prospects remain bright on a demand uptick from a customer’s restocking cycle, consistent ASP hikes, and efficiency refinement. The recent deterioration of US-China trade tensions also adds to the positive equation. Downgrade to HOLD with unchanged target price of RM3.61.
