DBS slashes ST Engineering sales and net earnings forecast

In spite of stronger 4Q13 ahead.

Commenting on ST Engineering's 3Q13 results, DBS announced that "while we cut FY13 sales and net earnings by 3.8% on account of weaker Land Systems earnings, 4Q13 will be a seasonally stronger quarter, which will lift Marine, Aerospace and Electronics profits to outperform 2012."

ST Engineering saw net earnings dip 10% yoy for the quarter to S$131.4m, slightly disappointing DBS. But the research firm sees Marine as offsetting the declines being seen in other divisions.

"Marine will be the brighter spot, riding on ongoing project deliveries for AHTS/OSV vessels for Swire Pacific and Hornbeck Offshore, and patrol vessels for Oman," said DBS.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
