Weekly Recap | Singtel +1.9%, a choppy week with a fade

The Week

Singtel (SGAPY.US) closed the week at $35.40, up 1.9% from the previous Friday. The S&P 500 added 0.49%, so the stock outperformed the benchmark by about 1.41 percentage points. The path was choppy: a soft Monday, a gap up on Tuesday to hold above $35, a spike to $36.30 on Wednesday, then a pullback into the $35.30 area on Thursday and Friday. There was no major catalyst this week; the move was mostly driven by sentiment and liquidity.

Analyst Ratings

Only one broker covers the name, and it rates Singtel a buy. The consensus rating is strong buy, with a consensus target of $28.27, which is about 20.1% below the current price of $35.40. The target range is a single point at $28.27, so there is no dispersion. Within its telecoms peer group, it ranks 51st out of 57 names.

The Week Ahead

Macro data dominates next week. On Monday there is the Dallas Fed manufacturing business activity index. Tuesday brings final S&P Global manufacturing PMI, ISM manufacturing PMI (prior 55.6, forecast 55.2) and US JOLTS job openings. Wednesday has ADP private payrolls (prior 440k, forecast 470k), factory orders and two EIA crude inventory reports. Singtel itself has no scheduled results, so the focus is on how the macro prints shape risk appetite.
