Report Summary

  • CapitaLand Investment Ltd (CLI) reported mixed FY25 results, with strong fund management growth but pressured margins due to elevated costs and revaluation losses.

  • CLI’s funds under management (FUM) grew 7% to SGD125b, with a strategic target of SGD200b by 2028; management is confident of reaching SGD150-160b organically, leveraging both organic growth and acquisitions.

  • The report maintains a BUY rating, raising the target price to SGD3.40, reflecting confidence in CLI’s strategy and long-term growth potential, though near-term earnings may remain under pressure.
