Singapore portfolio selling well.

- Oxley has raised prices in a few of its existing projects by 1-2% due to new launches around the same area likely to be selling at much higher prices. Management expects to clear most of its Singapore portfolio by the end of 2020.
A record FY20F, coupled with potential special dividends.
- Management guided that excess cash – after paring down gearing – will be used to reward shareholders with special dividends if there are no other suitable opportunities at that time.
- The counter is trading at a deep 52% discount to our RNAV of SGD0.74. This, together with an c.9% FY20F dividend yield, as well as a record FY20F compels us to maintain on the stock.
