0515 GMT - Singapore Airlines is likely facing increased competition from peers, UOB Kay Hian analyst Roy Chen says in a research report. SIA's passenger load factor stayed below prepandemic levels in August for the second straight month and was weaker than the brokerage expected, the analyst notes. Hence, SIA's passenger yield, the company's most important earnings driver, is expected to remain under pressure in the medium term, the analyst adds. However, the brokerage lifts its FY 2025 earnings forecast for SIA by 13% to reflect the recent decline in jet-fuel prices. It also raises the target price to S$5.83 from S$5.71 while maintaining the stock's sell rating. Shares are unchanged at S$6.60. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
