Jardine Cycle & Carriage reported lower overall earnings for the first quarter of 2026, as weaker contributions from Indonesian units Astra and Tunas Ridean and the regional Cycle & Carriage business outweighed stronger results from Vietnam’s THACO. Astra’s performance reflected softer new car, heavy equipment, gold mining and mining services operations, though this was partially offset by higher profits in financial services, agribusiness and infrastructure, alongside ongoing share buyback programmes by Astra and United Tractors that signal confidence in future cash generation. The Group’s Vietnam portfolio continued to grow in line with the local economy, with THACO benefiting from increased property sales and higher passenger and commercial vehicle volumes, while REE’s performance supported JC&C’s diversification. During the quarter, JC&C also cut corporate net debt by divesting a 3.5% stake in Vinamilk and selling half its holdings in Toyota Motor Corporation, moves that reinforce balance-sheet strength as the company prepares to navigate an uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop. The most recent analyst rating on (SG:C07) stock is a Buy with a S$38.50 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Jardine Cycle & Carriage stock, see the SG:C07 Stock Forecast page.
