MIBG Sustainability Research: Singapore ESG Trends

MIBG Sustainability Research analyzed 54 Singapore companies, about 57% of the country’s market cap, on various ESG parameters. The key findings are:
Emission intensity is declining in value terms but rising in absolute terms
Renewable energy usage is increasing
Nearly half of the companies under coverage have better-than-median scores across different ESG parameters
Social and governance indicators suggest improvement
Maximum improvement seen in REITs, real estate and tech companies [[Page 1]]

Centurion Corp: Initiate Coverage with BUY Rating

We initiate coverage on Centurion Corp with a BUY rating and target price of SGD1.45, based on 1x forward P/B. Despite the share price’s outperformance, we believe the current valuation of around 10x forward P/E is not excessive given its recurring earnings visibility from positive demand-supply dynamics due to strong construction demand in Singapore, coupled with a clear pipeline of capacity expansion. Potential re-rating catalysts include the spin-off of some of its accommodation assets into a REIT, and inorganic growth via JVs/M&As. [[Page 1]]
