Agree with DFI. Sheng Siong is impressive as well, but they are not in the same sector. Vicom is a great example of being in the same sector but benefits differently. I'm not so sure of Boustead sustainability.
Nonetheless through your quick job do you think 10% ROA is rare in the transport/ Industrial sector, or you think it is equitable for SMRT to get 10% ROA vs the industry?
ROA of 10% is respectable, but not excessive as a duopoly company. This even so after factor in the regulating restrictions in pricing and operation. Furthermore SMRT accounted asset is only operating asset, while non-operating assets are owned by LTA. Both operating and non-operating assets are essential for operation.
