SINGAPORE (Aug 15): The latest wave of fintech innovation is beginning to change the way we transact. More banking services are now accessible from our mobile phones and making payments from e-wallets is no longer a foreign concept. These highly visible fintech services are bringing innovation closer to home and are seeing ever increasing adoption, usage and availability.
Globally, fintech investment amounted to US$55.3 billion in 2018, with Singapore receiving US$365 million ($492.4 million), up from US$180 million in 2017 [1].
UOB Kay Hian analysts Llelleythan Tan Yi Rong Heidi Mo believe that amid the escalating trade war, ComfortDelGro C52 Corporation will not see any significant impact to its earnings, given the defensive nature of its businesses.
"We also expect increased overseas contributions in 2025 from recent acquisitions, new bus contracts and ongoing contract renewals.
DBS Group Research has kept its "buy" call and $1.12 target price on Grand Venture Technology Jlb after the manufacturer reaffirmed its 1HFY2025 revenue guidance amid wider sell-down of tech stocks.
According to GVT, US exposure accounted for less than 10% of its revenue and that the bulk of its output is shipped from Singapore, which is hit with the baseline 10% tariff that is lower than other regional markets.
The bulk of GVT's end demand comes from semiconductor, life sciences and aerospace customers in the rest of Asia and Europe.
The inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula once believed that their land was the only land in the world while half of the world was the sea. They thought a quarter was the inhabited lands around the peninsula’s edge and that the middle quarter, being a vast desert, was “empty”. Thus, the name Rub Al Khali or Empty Quarter.
Covering almost 650,000 sq km, including parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen, it is the size of France, the Netherlands and Belgium combined and features sand dunes up to 800m above sea level.
Yik Ban Chong of PhillipCapital has initiated coverage of Soilbuild Construction Group S7p with an "accumulate" call and 97 cents target price.
In his April 14 note, Chong notes that the company's order book of $1.26 billion as at Dec 2024, will provide visibility for revenue and profit growth over the next two financial years.
For this current FY2025, Chong estimates that Soilbuild can grow its revenue and earnings by 20% and 28% y-o-y, thanks to progress payments.
The Trump administration's flip-flop on tariffs is a nightmare for analysts, strategists and economists but something of a boon for short-term traders caught on the right side of the flip-flop.
The tariffs announced on the so-called Liberation Day would have been a huge shock to both the global economy and the US itself, which economists have said could cause the US to go into either a recession, stagflation or depression.
More than the comments, the bond market pushed back on the Trumpian tariffs. The Trump administration can ignore the pundits, but not the bond markets.
UOB Kay Hian analyst Adrian Loh has raised his target price on Centurion Corporation Ou8 to $1.48 from $1.16 previously as the stock is deemed as a “safe harbour” amid US President Donald Trump’s “tragic tariffs”.
“Centurion remains a key stock for investors in turbulent times, in our view,” Loh writes in his April 14 report.
Shekhar Jaiswal of RHB Bank Singapore has reiterated his "buy" call and $7.80 target price for Singapore Technologies Engineering S63 after it won a $1.4 billion contract to provide turnkey rail services for the new Taichung MRT Blue Line in Taiwan.
The 14-year project is set to begin in 2Q25, expanding STE’s strong rail presence in Taiwan.
This latest win adds to the company's already all-time high outstanding order book of $28.5 billion, which provides three years of revenue visibility.
Maybank Securities, citing how fundamentals have changed, has downgraded Aztech Global 8az from "buy" to "hold" along with a sharply reduced target price of 63 cents from 82 cents previously.
Aztech generates 79% of its revenue selling to US via its single largest customer, according to analyst Jarick Seet in his April 11 note.
On the other hand, the 145% tariffs that US is slapping on China will impact Aztech given its sizable manufacturing footprint in both China and Malaysia, is going to hurt.
