0141 GMT - PropNex's 2025 outlook appears solid on likely higher transaction volumes and prices in Singapore's private and public housing markets, UOB Kay Hian's Adrian Loh says in a research report. The brokerage expects new-home launches to sequentially increase from 2H 2024 and into 1H 2025, contributing to better earnings for the real-estate agency in the near- to medium-term. The Housing & Development Board segment remains robust, the analyst says, noting long waiting periods for build-to-order public housing that has spurred buyers opting for resale units. The brokerage raises its 2025-2026 earnings estimates for PropNex by 2%-3%. It lifts the stock's target price to S$1.18 from S$0.98 with an unchanged buy rating. Shares are unchanged at S$1.05.
