Sheng Siong (SGX:OV8) Stock Climbs As Valuation Meets Slower Store Growth

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Sheng Siong Group stock came into this earnings day on a steady run, with the share price up about 10% over the past three months and closing at S$3.34. On the surface the headline looks simple. Q2 net profit was S$37.62m on revenue of S$402.58m and earnings per share came in at S$0.025. The real story for long term holders sits in the trailing 12 month figures, where net income reached about S$157.94m and earnings per share were S$0.105. Those numbers now have to work hard against a P/E of 31.8x.

Sheng Siong earnings keep the defensive story intact

For investors who see Sheng Siong as a steady defensive grocery play, these Q2 numbers broadly back that view. Revenue and net profit both moved in line at about 11%, while basic EPS rose slightly faster at about 12%. That points to stable margins rather than a squeeze. Same store sales growth stayed positive at 3.5% even as the rate eased. Add in a 90 day share price gain of about 10% and the market reaction so far looks consistent with a business ticking along as a dependable staple.

Growth pace and same store momentum cap the upside

The more cautious narrative around Sheng Siong also finds some support here. Same store sales growth slowed from 4.4% to 3.5%, which can feed concerns that the core Singapore base is maturing. Revenue and net profit moved in lockstep at about 11%. That suggests limited operating leverage in the latest quarter. For investors hoping for a faster growth story from new channels or markets, these results do not yet point to a clear acceleration beyond the steady supermarket profile.
