\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\nStructural Industry Tailwinds, Though Near-Term Macro Conditions Have Softened<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The global footwear market is projected to grow from US$495bn in 2025 to approximately US$790bn by 2032, driven by emerging market consumption, sportswear penetration and lifestyle shifts. Rising labour costs, tariffs and supply-chain diversification continue to shift production from China into Vietnam and Indonesia, benefiting regionally embedded suppliers such as Infinity. Still, the ongoing Middle East conflict has raised near-term energy, freight and input costs, which may moderate factory activity across Asia even as the longer-term relocation trend remains intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\nValuation & Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Based on our discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation, we initiate coverage on Infinity Development Holdings with an OUTPERFORM<\/strong> rating and a target price of S$0.62.<\/strong> Our DCF-based valuation utilises employs a WACC of 8.03% and a blended terminal value approach, derived based on a 1.5% terminal growth rate and a forward P\/E multiple of 4.3x, reflecting a conservative risk assessment amid heightened macro uncertainty and near-term cost pressure across Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n\n\n\nRisks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Customer concentration, OEM footwear production cyclicality, volatile raw material costs, currency and macroeconomic risks and Indonesia expansion execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
