Sime Darby Property (SDPR MK)
On Track To Multiply Long-Term Value; BUY
Analyst
- Maintain BUY and MYR2.33 TP, 54% upside with c.3% FY26F yield. Sime Darby Property’s 2Q25 earnings fell below expectations, as some projects are at the initial stage of construction. Property sales were fairly strong, with MYR2bn booked in 1H25, ie on track to meet its full-year MYR3.6bn target. Looking ahead, SDPR will start developing three more warehousing facilities in Bandar Bukit Raja, as Metrohub 1 and 2 are already 100% and 88% occupied. This should strengthen the company’s long-term recurring income base and expand its asset portfolio for the upcoming REIT listing exercise.
- 2Q25 results review. As expected, property development revenue improved QoQ, as construction works accelerated after a slow 1Q25. The property investment segment continued to grow, with full-quarter contributions from the warehouse in Bandar Bukit Raja following the completion of the acquisition of the remaining 50% stake, back in March. The performance of the leisure & hospitality segment was boosted by increased banqueting activities, especially during the Aidil Fitri festive season. Meanwhile, net gearing increased to 0.31x from 0.28x in 1Q25, driven by funding requirements to grow income-generating investment properties. Just like in 2Q24, a 1.5 sen first DPS was declared.
- Stronger property sales in 2Q25. 2Q25 property sales amounted to MYR1.07bn, vs MYR927.5m in 1Q25. 1H25 total sales of MYR2bn were mainly contributed by industrial products (MYR803m, 40% of total), followed by residential landed (MYR506.2m, 25% of total), residential high-rise (MYR449m, 22% of total), and commercial products (MYR211.6m, 10% of total). Among all the segments, residential landed grew the most QoQ – chiefly due to the strong take-up rate in Elmina Ridge 2. About MYR2.2bn worth of projects were launched in 1H25, and the major ones include Elmina Ridge 2 (a premium landed residential phase with a GDV of MYR272m), SJCC East One (a residential high-rise transit-oriented development with a GDV of MYR533m), and Karya (2-storey shophouses in Bandar Bukit Raja 2 with a GDV of MYR151m).
- MYR1.6bn launches for 2H25. Management plans to roll out another MYR1.6bn worth of launches. In addition to the current bookings of MYR1.6bn to be converted into contractual sales, SDPR should be able to meet (or surpass) its MYR3.6bn sales target by the year-end.
- Forecasts. We make minimal changes to our earnings forecasts. Unbilled sales stood at MYR3.9bn, from MYR3.8bn as at 1Q25.
- Maintain TP. Our TP (with a 4% ESG premium) is based on a 25% discount to RNAV.

Prop Dev. | 925.6 | 908.1 | 808.3 | (11.0) | (12.7) | The lower revenue was mainly due to lesser launches in 2H24 and lower financial progress from industrial products, as these have yet to meet the revenue recognition criteria. |
Prop Investment | 29.1 | 43.3 | 38.7 | (10.6) | 33.3 | Revenue was higher in 4Q24 due to higher turnover under the concession arrangement, while the retail sub-segment benefited from higher rent from gross turnover and the boost from festive period promotions. |
