SGX:U96 Trailing 12-Month Revenue & Expenses Breakdown as at Aug 2026 Sembcorp bullish narrative meets mixed execution Bulls argue Sembcorp Industries is building a higher quality, more recurring earnings base through renewables, long PPAs and disciplined M&A. The latest numbers partly support that. Gas & Related Services now has about 80% of gas fired generation, excluding Senoko, contracted for more than five years. Taweelah C adds a 21 year PPA and the Micron PPAs are now at 600 MW. The Alinta Energy acquisition closed in June and would have added pro forma underlying net profit of SGD 231m in H1 with about SGD 1.4b of pro forma adjusted EBITDA for the group. However, renewables underlying profit of SGD 69m, which fell about 48% year on year, and the drop in trailing net margin to 9% indicate that the promised higher margin, renewables heavy mix is not yet flowing cleanly into group profitability. Bear concerns on margins and risk get support Bears have argued that margin pressure in legacy power and risk in overseas renewables could cap earnings quality even as Sembcorp grows. The latest print gives them some support. Underlying net profit is SGD 369m versus SGD 536m a year earlier and trailing net margin has compressed from 16.5% to 9%. Renewables are under strain from weak resource, curtailment, lower tariffs and the loss of VAT refunds in China, and UK batteries are softer. These are precisely the kind of structural and regulatory risks highlighted in the narrative. At the same time, management is leaning on a higher interim dividend of SGD 0.11 and pro forma help from Alinta to signal confidence. In combination, that suggests the balance sheet and cash flows are being used to offset, rather than fully resolve, the margin squeeze for now. Compare the bullish case around contracted gas, long term PPAs and the Alinta contribution with how institutions are reacting.
