ST Engineering: All-time high order book of S$13.0b - IOCBC
Singapore Technologies Engineering (STE) reported 1Q13 results that were generally in line with ours and consensus expectations. Revenue grew 0.2% YoY to S$1.54b, and PATMI fell 0.3% YoY to S$134m. Highlights include: 1) lack of the biennial Singapore Airshow in 1Q13, which contributed to a S$6.1m drop in share of results of associates and jointly controlled entities, 2) growth in administrative expenses by S$7.9m (7% YoY) due to increased headcount from new Aerospace subsidiaries. STE's order book reached a new high of S$13.0b as of end-Mar 2013 (4Q12: S$12.1b), of which S$3.6b is expected to be delivered in the remainder of 2013. We forecast FY13F EPS of 19.8 S cents. Raising our P/E peg to 22x from 20.7x, given the increased visibility from the record order book, we raise our fair value to S$4.36 from S$4.12. We maintain a HOLD rating on STE and estimate a FY13F dividend yield of 4.1%.

1Q13: Flat Net Profit But Guidance For Full-year Growth
OrderBook At Record High Of S$13.0b
Excluding the absence of contribution from a bi-annual air show, PBT would
have risen by 5% yoy. We are encouraged by the growth in its orderbook and
raise our target price by 9% to S$4.50. Maintain HOLD. Entry price is S$4.10.
ST Engineering Ltd – Results (Philips) Recommendation: Accumulate
DBSV- ST Engineering’s 1Q13 net profit of S$134m is in-line with
estimates, after adjusting for one-off items. STE announced a
record order book of S$13bil as of end-1Q13, up from
S$12.1bil at end-FY12, as they took in big orders in 1Q13.
Our analyst assumes YTD order wins to be S$2bil in FY13,
which is about half the figure recorded in FY12. This
underpins steady 6% growth in earnings over FY13/14.
Operating cash flow is strong, gross cash levels exceeded
S$2bn and future dividends appear secure. Maintain BUY
with higher TP of S$4.80 (prev. $4.40).
STE reported net profits of S$134.0mn in 1QFY13 on sales of S$1,544.7mn. Revenue was little changed on year as higher sales from other segments were offset by a 6% decline in sales for the Electronics division. Profit growth was the strongest at the Aerospace segment as the division benefitted from a 2.6% improvement in PBT margins. Management guided for higher revenue and comparable PBT in 1H2013 compared to 1H2012, while maintaining their full year guidance for higher revenue and PBT.
How do we view this?
While the results were slightly disappointing as compared to the same period last year, we believe that seasonal contributions from the biennial Singapore Airshow did create a higher basis for comparison. By maintaining their guidance of profit growth for the full year, management have implicitly guided for a strong set of 2HFY13 performance.
Investment Actions?
We expect a neutral stock reaction to the results and maintained our Accumulate rating and TP of S$4.50. With our assumption of a 90% dividend payout, we expect the stock of STE to yield an attractive 4.1% in FY13E.

Singapore Tech Engineering (ST Engg) is moving on a strong uptrend, its 20, 40 and 100 day MAs are all sloping up. The commodity channel index (CCI) is now overbought and so far, the pullback has been very shallow. The CCI is now above 100 and is overbought. One may consider buying when the CCI drops to the oversold level and turn up again. There were 3 previous occasions of such since June last year. The immediate support for this stock at $4.35. In April-13, it secured $480 million worth of orders in the Aerospace industry.
Technically and Fundamentally ST Engineering does not look like an attractive stock for long term investing base on current price.

Hi,
Anyone know why is it not doing well? Seems like going downhill faster than inching up.
