Why ST Engineering's profits could soar by at least 50% in Q3

It has a low base, which saw $54m in provisions at ST Kinetics.

Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering) is releasing results on November 8 and despite a profit guidance of "comparable" in Q3, its profits could soar by at least 50%, UOB Kay Hian said.

According to a report, ST Engineering has a low base, which saw $54m in provisions at ST Kinetics. It also has a lower quarterly provision for the shipbuilding division, when in Q2, the segment had a $22m loss.

ST Marine’s wholly-owned US subsidiary, VT Halter Marine, could benefit from higher defence-related ship repair contracts.

UOB Kay Hian analyst K Ajith said, "A potential quid pro quo arrangement between the leaders of Singapore and the US might not be far-fetched following SIA’s $19b order of Boeing aircraft."

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.
