股价25年新低 新加坡报业控股成MSCI表现最差股票

过去由于媒体业务表现欠佳,新加坡报业控股分散投资进军房地产,但如今它却成为MSCI新加坡之数种表现最差的股票,股价徘徊在25年来最低点。 作为新加坡最大的媒体集团,其股价今年跌了4.3巴仙,而MSCI指数25个成员(包括星展银行、吉宝、丰益国际等等)都取得12巴仙增长。 除了报业控股,另两家表现欠佳的股票包括胜科工业和新加坡云顶。 事实上,新加坡报业控股有一半的销售来自媒体业务,尽管网络和手机用户增加,但该集团在数码领域大颠覆的环境下备受冲击,越来越多企业选择把广告资金投入在脸书或谷歌。 为应对数码科技颠覆的冲击,该集团总裁伍逸松把集团的投资拓展到房地产和数码业务领域。 兴业银行(RHB)证券中小型股研究主管Jarick Seet,接受彭博社采访时分析,其实拓展业务到房地产固然有帮助,但是“报业控股的老本行却在以更快速度衰退”,而其他投资部分又未能补上减少的营收。 而根据彭博社的数据,新加坡报业控股的净收入在八年内已连续七年下跌。据该集团在本月12日的声明,2019财年第三季的营收同比略减1.6巴仙至2亿4610万元。媒体业务的销售额(包括海峡时报和商业时报)截至5月31日的九个月内,跌12巴仙至4亿3970万新元。 市值曾超越《纽约时报》 而该部分的税前盈利,也跌32巴仙,至5千210万元。 就市值而言,报业控股曾一度超越《纽约时报》,但其价值近两年已缩水。再者,该公司股票已经历连续五年下跌,自2014年以来,已折损近半市值,相当于32亿新元。 基于表现欠佳,对于该公司增加数码业务或收购有增值潜能的房地产的举措,分析师都不甚乐观。…
