Singapore Aviation Services- US Marketing Feedback; Overweight
On a recent marketing trip to the US, we shared with clients our views on the Aviation Services sector. They were generally receptive to our argument for a positive long-term trend. Some expressed concerns over valuation levels after the strong run-up in prices over the past year but most believed that the recent market correction has provided better entry points.

Overall, they were most excited about the recently announced plans to double Changi Airport’s capacity by the mid-2020s and believed that it is a good indicator of demand trends for the sector. Clients also highlighted the conservative balance sheets of the sector as a key feature of its defensiveness.

We remain Overweight on the aviation services sector and believe that SIAEC, SATS and STE will be winners of the positive long-term trend. The sector provides 19-34% upside to our valuation targets and offers dividend yield of 4.5-5.2% in the year ahead.
