As of Jun 18, 2026. Market Open.
Are exposed only 25% to China; rather, Indonesia is their greatest exposure where they collet revenues in the Indonesia rupee, but must show profits in US dollars. In the past year, the rupee has fallen then come back, but this isn't reflected in their earnings yet. It will in the next report. If interest rates fall, then the USD will and Jardine's profit will rise. The dividend grows 6-10% yearly (and could rise higher with a weaker USD), paying 5.5% now. It's like a bond proxy. Lots of room to buy companies.
(Analysts’ price target is $54.61)The stock has been flat. A conglomerate across SE Asia. It's a big conglomerate which includes BMW/ Mercedes dealerships, financials, hotels, supermarkets, parts of Ikea and Starbucks franchises. They are also sitting on a ton of cash. Likes this company because they make smart acquisitions.
A very unique company. It started as a trading company and now owns a number of businesses throughout the Asia Pacific. On a fundamental valuation perspective, the stock has rallied really hard and it is expensive. Dividend yield of 2.4% is safe and there is possibly room for it to be hiked in the next 12-18 months.
