Hyflux in for another weak quarter after disappointing Q1

Activities will only pick up in 2H.

Hyflux is in for another subpar quarter after suffering an 85% profit crash in the first three months of the year.

A report by OCBC Investment Research noted that Hyflux's operational activities will only pick up in the second half of the year.

These activities include a ramp up in Magtaa Desalination Plant in Algeria, the commissioning of Tuaspring Power Plant in Singapore, and the full-scale development of QIWP, Oman.

"And until these activities kick in, we suspect that the group could face another pretty lackluster quarter ahead. But to be fair, the company’s revenue tends to be quite lumpy, given the project-based nature of its business," stated OCBC.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
