CapitaLand Investment Limited Stock (SGX: 9CI) News, Share Price, Forecasts and Analyst Outlook

CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) stock (SGX: 9CI; also commonly shown as CAPN.SI on some platforms) is in focus heading into mid-December as the Singapore-listed real asset manager pushes deeper into its China “domestic-for-domestic” strategy and continues to emphasise fee-driven, recurring income streams. On 12 December 2025, CLI shares were trading around the S$2.60–S$2.63 area on widely followed quote and market-data pages. ^[1]

Below is a full, publication-ready roundup of today’s most relevant CLI stock news, what the company has recently announced, and what analyst-consensus forecast trackers are currently implying as of 12.12.2025.

What CLI stock is doing today (12 Dec 2025)

Market data aggregators tracking SGX trading show CLI around the mid-S$2.60s on 12 December:

Beansprout displayed S$2.60 (timestamped in the morning, SGT). ^[2]
MarketScreener showed ~S$2.63 (delayed quote), and lists CLI with a market capitalization around S$12.9 billion. ^[3]

Small moves matter for real-estate and real-asset managers right now because investor appetite tends to swing on (1) the interest-rate outlook, (2) fundraising momentum, and (3) management’s ability to recycle capital without blowing up risk.

The headline catalyst: CLI closes a second onshore RMB sub-fund in China

The most immediate corporate development shaping the current news flow is CLI’s announcement that it has closed its second onshore sub-fund under its RMB Master Fund.

What was announced

In an SGX-filed news release dated 11 December 2025, CLI said it closed China Retail RMB Fund I (CRF I):

Total fund size:RMB1.0 billion (S$183 million) after securing onshore institutional investors in addition to the master fund’s equity commitment. ^[4]
Expected FUM impact: CRF I is expected to add RMB1.48 billion (S$271 million) to CLI’s funds under management when fully deployed. ^[5]
Seed asset: the fund is seeded with CapitaMall Xinduxin in Qingdao’s Shibei District, described as having a gross floor area of 141,000 sqm and “committed occupancy” of about 99.6%; CLI will continue to manage the property and earn recurring fees. ^[6]
Capital recycling: CLI said it has “unlocked” close to RMB6.7 billion this year as part of the broader domestic-for-domestic strategy. ^[7]

This matters for the stock because, in plain English, it’s a playbook for turning mature assets into investable product—raising third-party money, earning management fees, and freeing balance-sheet capital for redeployment.

Why the market cares: it reinforces the “domestic-for-domestic” strategy

CLI positioned the fund close as another step in scaling its China onshore platform. The same SGX release states that since 2021, CLI has raised nearly RMB55 billion of domestic capital across nine onshore funds, pointing to depth of local investor demand and repeatability of execution. ^[8]

Connection to earlier China platform milestones

This December fund close fits into a sequence of China platform milestones in 2025:

May 2025 (Reuters): CLI launched its first onshore master fund in China, backed by RMB5 billion in equity commitments, targeting sectors including business parks, retail, rental housing and serviced residences; CLI said it expected the platform to add RMB20 billion to FUM once fully deployed. ^[9]
September 2025 (Reuters): a CapitaLand-sponsored China retail C-REIT (CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT / CLCR) raised RMB2.29 billion in a Shanghai IPO, with subscription demand heavily oversubscribed; Reuters tied the deal to CLI’s domestic-for-domestic fund strategy and recurring fee-income ambitions. ^[10]

If you’re trying to model “what could move CLI stock,” this China pipeline is one of the most concrete answerable drivers: successful product creation + fundraising + repeatable fee lines.

What CLI said about scale: funds under management and business profile

CLI’s SGX-filed release also summarises its scale and positioning:

Headquartered and listed in Singapore in 2021, CLI describes itself as a “leading global real asset manager” with a strong Asia footprint. ^[11]
The same release states CLI had S$120 billion of funds under management as of 5 November 2025. ^[12]

For investors, FUM isn’t just a vanity metric. It’s a proxy for how much fee base CLI can monetise (especially if management is pushing toward “asset-light” economics).

Financial and operational snapshot: CLI’s 3Q 2025 business update highlights

The latest detailed financial operating snapshot available in the current cycle is CLI’s 3Q 2025 Business Updates presentation released via SGX on 6 November 2025. ^[13]

Key disclosed highlights include:

Total revenue:S$1,568 million for YTD Sep 2025. ^[14]
Fee-related revenue: described as growing to S$882 million, driven by higher event-driven fees from listed funds and contributions from new funds. ^[15]
Real estate investment revenue: described as lower at S$753 million, which CLI attributed to deconsolidation of CLAS and divested assets. ^[16]
Fundraising: CLI reported S$3.7 billion total equity raised by listed and private funds YTD 2025, with ~S$2.1 billion from private funds fundraising. ^[17]
Capital recycling/value unlocking: CLI reported monetising S$2.2 billion YTD 2025 across different strategies. ^[18]

This is the kind of disclosure equity analysts typically map into a “quality of earnings” view: the more the earnings engine tilts toward fee streams (rather than lumpy property revaluation/divestment gains), the more the stock starts to resemble a scaled asset manager rather than a classic developer/landlord.

Other current corporate developments investors are tracking

Share-based incentives: grant of share awards (Dec 2025)

CLI also filed an SGX announcement dated 1 December 2025 covering a grant of share awards under its Restricted Share Plan:

Shares comprised in awards:21,728
Market price (last done) on date of grant:S$2.66 per share
Awards to directors/controlling shareholders:Nil, per the filing
Vesting note: time-based awards with 50% slated for release in March 2026 and the remainder in March 2027. ^[19]

These are small numbers relative to CLI’s share base, but they still matter to some investors as governance “texture”: retention, incentives, and alignment.

Leadership: CEO of Alternatives/Private Funds and CLI India chair appointment (Nov 2025)

On 18 November 2025, CLI announced it appointed Kishore Kamlesh Moorjani as CEO, Alternatives, Private Funds and Chairman, CLI India, with the role covering expansion of its alternatives business (including credit strategies). ^[20]

This is strategically relevant because “alternatives” (including credit) is where many global asset managers have been chasing higher-fee products—especially in a world where traditional real estate cycles can be choppy.

India growth angle: REIT exploration and FUM ambition (Dec 2025 interview)

In an interview published 1 December 2025, India-focused business press reported that CLI is positioning India as a critical growth engine and is evaluating a REIT in India, with an ambition to scale and potentially double FUM as part of broader growth plans. ^[21]

That’s not a signed deal, but it’s a live strategic narrative investors are likely to price in—or discount—depending on how quickly concrete transactions emerge.

Merger speculation with Mapletree: what was said and what wasn’t (Nov 2025)

In early November, media reports surfaced about a possible combination involving Mapletree and CapitaLand/CLI. CLI responded through an SGX-filed clarification:

CLI said it “regularly explores and evaluates various investment opportunities” in the ordinary course of business, but as a matter of policy does not comment on rumours or speculation, and would make announcements as required under SGX rules. ^[22]

Separately, business press described the discussions as preliminary and noted a deal “may or may not materialise.” ^[23]

For CLI stock, merger talk can create temporary “option value” in the price (investors daydreaming about synergies, scale, re-rating). But it can also inject uncertainty (integration risk, governance design, and whether minority shareholders capture value).

Analyst forecasts and price targets for CLI stock (as of 12.12.2025)

Analyst-consensus trackers are broadly constructive on CLI, with “Strong Buy” consensus labels and target prices generally above the current trading area—though the exact upside varies by data source and analyst set.

Investing.com consensus (12-month targets)

Investing.com’s consensus page shows:

Overall consensus: Strong Buy
15 Buy / 0 Hold / 0 Sell
Average 12-month price target: about S$3.43 (shown as 3.43 / 3.428), implying roughly +30% upside from the reference price used on the page
High estimate:S$4.30, Low estimate:S$3.03 ^[24]

TipRanks forecast (12-month targets)

TipRanks’ forecast page shows:

Highest price target:S$4.30
Average price target:S$3.87
Lowest price target:S$3.65
TipRanks also labels consensus as Strong Buy (based on 3 buy ratings, 0 hold, 0 sell) and states the average target implies meaningful upside from the current price level shown on that page. ^[25]

SGX-focused aggregator snapshot (Beansprout)

Beansprout’s CLI page (timestamped on 12 Dec 2025) shows:

A consensus share price target of S$3.75 “as of 12 Dec 2025,”
Based on a reference price around S$2.60, it frames this as about 44% upside potential, and displays multiple local brokerage “BUY” calls and target prices (DBS, Maybank, OCBC, Phillip, UOB Kay Hian, etc.) with report dates earlier in 2025. ^[26]

Putting the targets together (without pretending precision)

Across these sources, the “center of gravity” sits roughly in the S$3.4–S$3.9 zone, with a recurring S$4.30 high-end figure appearing on multiple consensus pages. ^[27]

That’s a wide enough span to matter. It suggests analysts generally believe CLI can (a) keep scaling fee income via product launches and fundraising, and (b) continue capital recycling without sacrificing resilience—while markets eventually become more comfortable with rate/valuation headwinds.

Valuation and dividend context investors often cite

Valuation snapshots differ by provider and update frequency, but MarketScreener’s CLI page lists metrics such as:

Estimated P/E ratios (e.g., ~19x for 2025 estimates on its page)
An indicated yield figure (shown as an estimate on that platform) ^[28]

On dividends, CLI’s FY2024 reporting cycle included a core dividend and also a distribution-in-specie component involving CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) units, as reported by Singapore press at the time. ^[29]
Separately, SGX-tracked corporate action listings and corporate-action pages record CLI dividend events and dates (ex-date, record date, payment date), which investors use as a factual reference point when modelling yield. ^[30]

What to watch next for CapitaLand Investment stock

As of 12 December 2025, the “next move” debate for CLI stock usually collapses into a few measurable questions:

Can CLI keep scaling China onshore fundraising?
The second RMB sub-fund close is a positive data point; further closes would reinforce the narrative that “domestic-for-domestic” is not just a slogan. ^[31]
Does fee-related growth outpace the drag from portfolio repositioning?
CLI’s 3Q update explicitly framed fee-related growth as a driver, while real estate investment revenue reflected deconsolidations and divestments. ^[32]
Do India expansion plans become transactional?
India REIT exploration and FUM growth ambition are attention-grabbing, but markets will likely demand evidence: launches, seed assets, capital partners, and timelines. ^[33]
Does merger chatter re-emerge—or does it fade?
CLI’s formal stance is non-commentary and compliance with SGX disclosure rules, but the topic can resurface with any new reporting. ^[34]
