DBS upgrades PropNex and APAC Realty to ‘buy’ amid strong pipeline of new launches in 2025
DBS Group Research has actually upgraded its calls on PropNex and APAC Real estate to “get” from “hold” as both counters are tipped to gain from a sturdy pipeline of new launches in 2025.
At The Same Time, APAC Real estate’s brand-new target rate represents a greater P/E multiple of 13 times in line with its four-year historical average on rolled-forward FY2025 incomes.
In 2025 to 2026, the analysts also see nonpublic resell sales standing “steady” at 13,500 to 14,000 units. Sell-through rates might average between 30% to 50% during debut week ends, which can sustain a continuous turnaround in earnings for both companies.
” We have actually transferred the multiple towards +1 standard deviation (s.d.) (versus [a] five-year average of 12 times), as the market and the company’s profitability are at an inflexion point,” the analysts publish.” [PropNex’s] FY2025/FY2026 dividend revenue of 7.7% (80% payment percentage) is attractive, with potential benefit if the team chooses to allocate its cash money reservations (16 cents per share) to shareholders.”

PropNex is the leading real estate agency in Singapore with around 12,000 brokers making up 34% of the nation’s market share. APAC Realty is just one of the leading players in the realty broker agent sector. It has an existence in 17 Asia Pacific (APAC) places and among the biggest brand footprints in Asia through its ERA franchise business network.
” We expect a rebound in total quantities in 2025, steered by brand-new sales returning to [near] 8,000-8,500 units every year. This is assisted by steady property costs, with variations anticipated in the range of +1% to +2%,” state Derek Tan and Tabitha Foo in both files dated Jan 6.
” The group’s market share in discreet new sales and resale has raised to 56% -60%, significantly higher than pre-pandemic stages,” note Tan and Foo for PropNex specifically, adding that these figures show that one in every two sales is made by a PropNex representative. With this in mind, a prospective raise in market share as PropNex adds to its sales force, would present upside potential to the analysts’ quotes.
The recoil will mostly be pushed by 3 main factors: lower mortgage rates; house owners, upgraders and long-term people getting homes for themselves; as well as the intro of a wider range of ventures with sturdy features.
an and Foo have raised their target price quotes for both PropNex and APAC Realty to $1.15 and 50 cents from 95 cents and 48 cents specifically.
Their new target rate for PropNex is fixed to 15 times the company’s P/E on rolled-forward and revised FY2025 revenues. PropNex’s FY2025 profits estimates were reduced to make up lesser total sales and margins presumptions.
