Analysts have kept their SGD fair value estimate for Keppel Infrastructure Trust steady at about SGD0.57 per unit. They cite modest tweaks to inputs such as a slightly lower discount rate, marginally higher revenue growth, and a small adjustment to forward P/E assumptions that largely offset each other in their price target models.
