City Developments' Returning Director Could Offer Strategic Depth Amid Review -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

May 19

0845 GMT - A former director rejoining City Developments' board could add strategic depth and operational oversight to the Singapore property company as it undergoes a strategic business review, says DBS Group Research's Tabitha Foo in a note. Kwek Leng Peck, who served on the CDL board from 1987 to 2020, has over four decades of experience in the wider Hong Leong Group that owns CDL. "His return comes at a pivotal time as CDL evaluates capital allocation, portfolio optimization and longer-term value-unlocking initiatives," the analyst says. She notes the market value of Hong Leong Asia, where he currently serves as chairman, has increased significantly, given stronger earnings momentum and disciplined capital allocation. DBS retains its buy rating and S$12.00 target price. Shares rise 4.6% to S$8.20.(megan.cheah@wsj.com)
