SingPost

I think investors will lose a lot if Singpost is nationalised. Taken over by the govt. Investor interest is better served by turning this company around... And the Govt is not always the best manager of a company... Investors all over the world have lost when a company is taken over by Govt. bear would not want to see Singpost go to the Govt. The thought itself will depress the share price ... no wonder the share price has steadily fallen over the years when there is a possibility of Govt taking over... bear has never seen a company that is valued highly by the market when the market knows the govt is taking over. Singpost is just any ordinary company...

Intangible asset like goodwill will be written off.
Minus the loan, I don?t think NAV is still high.

 

their key asset is their reputation as the oldest institution in Singapore. what company has given rise to POSB? Trade with old institutions... Bear believes they will be replaced ... unless they are royalty.

 

What is the NAV?
What is their key asset other than the HQ building?

 

no. it's downstream...

timely to delist with the ongoing war that is not going to end till perhaps end 2026, majoriy shareholder will benefit tremendously and can start looking around sometime later for purchase of good institutions, should not procrasinate

Given SingTel already owns 22%, plus the cash hoard that SingPost has. The below potential scenario is not a really high bar for them to achieve. 

 

Will very much determine by what the new CEO's recommendation to his ex bosses.

it's a big IF and what benefit the major shareholders is probably keep squeezing it through dividends rather than delisting.

SingPost Delisting Valuation Scenarios

If SingPost were delisted today, analysts suggest shareholders could expect a buyout offer in the range of S$0.50&ndash S$0.55 per share, translating to a market cap of about S$1.1&ndash 1.2 billion. This would represent a 40&ndash 55% premium over its current trading price of S$0.35.

Delisting Scenarios for SingPost

Scenario	Valuation per Share (S$)	Market Cap (S$ million)	Premium vs Current Price	Premium vs Current Market Cap
Optimistic	0.60	1,350	+71%	+72%
Base Case (Low)	0.50	1,100	+43%	+40%
Base Case (High)	0.55	1,200	+57%	+53%
Pessimistic (Low)	0.40	880	+14%	+12%
Pessimistic (High)	0.45	950	+29%	+21%

---

Key Drivers of Valuation

- NAV Discount: Analysts typically apply a ~20% discount to net asset value, similar to SPH&rsquo s delisting.
- Asset Monetisation: The value hinges on whether SingPost can unlock cash from SingPost Centre and other property holdings.
- Growth vs Hollowing Out: If reinvestment into logistics/e-commerce succeeds, valuations lean toward the optimistic scenario. If divestments continue without reinvestment, the pessimistic case becomes more likely.
 

Comparison with SPH

- SPH (2021): Delisted at a ~40% premium after spinning off its media arm and monetising property assets.
- SingPost (2026): Similar trajectory&mdash shrinking core business (domestic mail), divestments of growth assets (FMH, freight forwarding), and reliance on property NAV.
 

Risks & Trade-Offs

- Short-term gains vs long-term sustainability: Investors may welcome a premium buyout, but SingPost risks losing its growth engines.
- Regulatory approval: Any delisting would require shareholder and regulatory consent.
- Market sentiment: Weak earnings (Q1 FY26 operating profit down 60% y-o-y) make a delisting offer more attractive to investors.

Bottom line: If SingPost follows SPH&rsquo s path, a delisting offer around S$0.50&ndash S$0.55 per share is the most realistic base case, with upside if assets are fully monetised and downside if mail decline accelerates.

 

Yes, analysts see a real chance that SingPost could follow a path similar to SPH, as it has already begun divesting non-core businesses like its Australian logistics arm and freight forwarding unit. The concern is whether these sales, while unlocking cash, might hollow out its strongest assets&mdash just as SPH&rsquo s divestments eventually led to a major restructuring.

Why Analysts Draw Parallels to SPH

- SPH&rsquo s trajectory: SPH sold off multiple non-core businesses (property, malls, etc.) before eventually spinning off its media arm into a not-for-profit trust.
- SingPost&rsquo s current moves:
  - Sold Freight Management Holdings (FMH), its Australian logistics business, for A$1.02 billion (~S$867 million), unlocking a gain of S$289.5 million.
  - Divested its freight forwarding business, releasing S$104 million in cash and booking a disposal gain of S$10.5 million.
- Analyst view: If SingPost continues to shed profitable overseas assets without clear reinvestment strategy, it risks becoming a smaller, less competitive entity&mdash similar to SPH&rsquo s narrowing focus before its eventual restructuring.

Key Risks for SingPost

- Loss of growth engines: FMH was considered a &ldquo crown jewel&rdquo asset selling it reduces SingPost&rsquo s exposure to fast-growing e-commerce logistics in Australia.
- Reliance on domestic mail: The Singapore core business faces structural decline as letter volumes shrink.
- Investor perception: While divestments boost short-term cash and share price (shares hit a 3-year high after the freight sale), long-term sustainability is questioned.

Comparison: SPH vs. SingPost

Factor	SPH	SingPost
Core business decline	Print media shrinking	Domestic mail shrinking
Asset sales	Divested property, malls, eventually spun off media	Sold FMH (Australia), freight forwarding
Investor concern	Hollowing out profitable assets	Risk of losing growth engines
Outcome	Media arm restructured into trust	Still ongoing, but trajectory looks similar

Outlook

- Short-term: Investors benefit from cash unlocks and special gains.
- Medium-term: Without reinvestment into growth areas (e-commerce logistics, regional expansion), SingPost risks becoming a leaner but weaker company.
- Analyst warning: If SingPost continues divesting without a clear growth strategy, it could indeed replay SPH&rsquo s path&mdash shrinking to a shell of its former self before a major restructuring becomes inevitable.
