F&B, grocery players like Sheng Siong, DFI still whet appetite of investors

The thirst for yield has also drawn private equity interest to certain businesses in the F&B and grocery sectors.

RHB Singapore senior research analyst Alfie Yeo noted that as a whole, core earnings of Singapore’s consumer sector is expected to have a compound annual growth rate of 7 per cent from FY2023 to FY2026, driven by revenue and margin expansion.
