DBS upgrades PropNex and APAC Realty to ‘buy’ amid strong pipeline of new launches in 2025
PropNex is the leading property company in Singapore with approximately 12,000 representatives representing 34% of the nation’s market portion. APAC Real estate is among the top players in the property brokerage firm industry. It has a presence in 17 Asia Pacific (APAC) countries and one of the biggest company presences in Asia via its ERA franchise business organization.
The recoil will largely be pushed by three primary aspects: lower home mortgage rates; home owners, upgraders and long-term individuals getting homes for themselves; as well as the introduction of a wider range of projects with strong traits.
” We have transferred the multiple towards +1 standard deviation (s.d.) (versus [a] five-year standard of 12 times), as the marketplace and the company’s profitability are at an inflexion point,” the analysts write.” [PropNex’s] FY2025/FY2026 dividend turnout of 7.7% (80% payment percentage) is appealing, with potential benefit if the group opts to disperse its money reservations (16 cents per share) to shareholders.”

Their new target price for PropNex is secured to 15 times the company’s P/E on rolled-forward and changed FY2025 revenues. PropNex’s FY2025 revenues price quotes were reduced to represent lesser entire sales and margins assumptions.
” We anticipate a revive in general volumes in 2025, driven by brand-new sales going back to [around] 8,000-8,500 units annually. This is sustained by steady property costs, with variations assumed in the series of +1% to +2%,” say Derek Tan and Tabitha Foo in both files dated Jan 6.
At The Same Time, APAC Realty’s new target price stands for a higher P/E multiple of 13 times in line with its four-year historical standard on rolled-forward FY2025 revenues.
” The group’s industry share in discreet new sales and resale has actually boosted to 56% -60%, significantly more than pre-pandemic levels,” note Tan and Foo for PropNex particularly, including that these figures suggest that one in every 2 purchases is made by a PropNex agent. With this in mind, a potential surge in market share as PropNex contributes to its sales force, would present upside potential to the analysts’ assessments.
an and Foo have actually enhanced their target rate estimates for both PropNex and APAC Realty to $1.15 and 50 cents from 95 cents and 48 cents respectively.
DBS Group Research has enhanced its claims on PropNex and APAC Real estate to “acquire” from “hold” as both counters are tipped to take advantage of a sturdy pipeline of brand-new release in 2025.
In 2025 to 2026, the analysts also see special resale purchases remaining “stable” at 13,500 to 14,000 units. Sell-through rates might average between 30% to 50% during release weekends, which might support a continuous turnaround in success for both agencies.
