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 $54.61)The stock has been flat. A conglomerate across SE Asia. It's a big conglomerate which includes BMW/ Mercedes dealerships, financials, hotels, supermarkets, parts of Ikea and Starbucks franchises. They are also sitting on a ton of cash. Likes this company because they make smart acquisitions.
There are 2 big conglomerates in south east Asia, and this is an easy way for Canadian investors to have access to the south-east market with a big conglomerate. The stock has done nothing for the last 5 years, because of the rise in the US$. They report their numbers in US$, but currencies in Indonesia, China, etc. have been falling, so they’ve been hurt. This has a clean balance sheet and they can make acquisitions. 10-year dividend growth rate has been 15%. Dividend yield of 2.5%. (Analysts' price target is $67.)
