I think in this yield hungry environment, companies like BBR that have low distributions are given the cold shoulder.
Yield is still likely to be around 2-3%, maintained for 2014, similar to previous years even though profitability has jumped up in 2013 and likely to be even higher in 2014.
This is because they are expanding large amounts of cash for property developments, particularly the ECs. It was Bliss @ Kovan, and now its lake life in Jurong.
I personally am happy with the company's direction as long as FCF holds up.

I am puzzled, what is this residential segment vs retail segment gotta do with BBR?
Bliss@Kovan is private Residential.
Lake Life is EC (semi private Residential).
So? Do you mean EC margin is lower than Private Residential?
I bet that is so, but who cares?
"We don't care whether the color of the cat is black or white, as long as can catch mouse, it is a good cat".
For those interested in BBR's latest EC JV, Lake Life EC.
Yesterday's article carried mention of it, with the managing partner of Eviva (one of the JV partners) mentioning breakeven cost is about $800 psf (unconfirmed rumours puts cost at $790 currently). It seems Lake life is pricing its units at in the region of $880 psf. So lets make simple assumptions of sales ($880 psf) and cost ($800psf).
GFA of area is 60500 sq metre or 544900 sq feet. Thus profit of EC is about $43.59M @ 100% sales. BBR has a 35% stake in this project, thus profit is $14.53M or 4.7 cents EPS
Good news for BBR GREENTECH.

In Singapore, the government is focused on scaling up the use of solar energy – the country’s most viable renewable energy option – to 350 MW by 2020, up from 20 MW last year under its SolarNova programme, which aims to accelerate the uptake of solar technology in Singapore by having public agencies procure PV installations across government buildings and spaces.
The first aggregated tender will be launched early next year, said Iswaran, who is also Second Minister for Home Affairs and Trade and Industry.
The EMA and Singapore Power (SP) have also shortened the grid connection process for solar PV installations from 27 to seven working days and eased administrative requirements imposed on solar PV owners, he added.
