GuocoLand should shrink its geographical footprint and focus purely on Singapore
GUOCOLAND : F17 0% has built a substantial footprint overseas, but with very little return to show for it. At the company’s upcoming annual general meeting on Friday (Oct 27), shareholders may want to push the company on its strategy overseas.
Unless the company can come up with a way to improve the profitability of its overseas operations, it may be better off focusing on Singapore.
Undoubtedly, the Singapore property market has waned in attractiveness over the years.
