Company Overview
LHN Ltd is a Singapore-based company operating in the co-living and property development sectors. Through its Coliwoo brand, the company has positioned itself as a key player in the growing co-living market, while also maintaining interests in property development and other business segments.
Strong Financial Performance Drives Optimism
LHN Ltd delivered impressive results in the second half of 2025, with earnings exceeding Phillip Securities Research’s expectations. The company’s full-year 2025 revenue and profit after tax and minority interests reached 100% and 109% of forecasts, respectively. This strong showing was primarily driven by a substantial jump in co-living earnings, highlighting the company’s strategic focus on this growing market segment. The company also announced an increase in dividend distribution, with final and special dividends totalling S$0.03, up from S$0.02 in the previous fiscal year.
Aggressive Expansion Plans for Coliwoo
The expansion trajectory for LHN’s Coliwoo co-living platform remains exceptionally strong, with significant room inventory growth on the horizon. Currently, 714 rooms are undergoing renovation, with an additional 1,500 rooms in the planning pipeline. This expansion represents a remarkable 75% increase from the existing base of 2,933 rooms. The company has identified diverse opportunities across multiple property types, including hotel licenses, student accommodations, commercial buildings, and management contracts. LHN’s management has set an ambitious target of adding approximately 800 rooms annually, translating to a compound annual growth rate of around 27%.
Investment Recommendation and Valuation
Phillip Securities Research maintains a BUY recommendation for LHN Ltd, though it has adjusted its valuation methodology following the listing of Coliwoo. The research team now employs a sum-of-parts valuation approach, moving away from its previous 13 times price-to-earnings ratio method. Under this new framework, Coliwoo is valued on a mark-to-market basis with a 10% discount, property development assets at book value, and other remaining business operations at 10 times price-to-earnings. The target price has been revised from S$1.13 to S$0.85. Despite this adjustment, the investment case remains compelling, supported by higher expected dividend yields and new growth areas, including storage space and facilities management businesses. The stock offers attractive valuations with a dividend yield near 6% and an adjusted price-to-book ratio of 0.9 times.
