According to DBS, Singpost intends to invest up to S$100m in infrastructure, services and enhancements over the next three years. About S$45m would be spent to replace its existing sorting machines to achieve greater operational efficiency.

A big amount would be spent on laying down PopStation network, a new delivery mechanism to serve customers 24/7. Overall, we estimate S$40m capex in FY14F followed by S$35m in FY15F & 16F each. Despite the higher capex, the free cash flow should allow it to meet dividend commitments easily. After three years, we expect capex to scale downwards again.
