[SINGAPORE] The following companies saw new developments that may affect trading of their securities on Friday (May 30).
IHH Healthcare : The integrated healthcare operator on Thursday posted a 33 per cent fall in net profit to RM514 million (S$156.3 million) for its first quarter ended Mar 31, from RM768 million the year before. The drop came mainly from a lower net monetary gain from the application of MFRS 129, and the recognition of a deferred tax credit in 2024 arising from the revaluation of certain assets in Turkey, the mainboard-listed group said. Shares of IHH Healthcare closed flat at S$2.09 on Thursday, before the results were announced.
Keppel : The company has appointed former DBS chief executive Piyush Gupta as deputy chairman and non-executive independent director of its board, effective Jul 1. Gupta will also be appointed a member of the nominating committee, remuneration committee and the board’s sustainability and safety committee in July. Shares of Keppel closed at S$6.85, up S$0.06 or 0.9 per cent on Thursday, before the announcement.
