ST Engineering - Meeting Expectations
ST Engineering (STE)'s 2Q13 PATMI edged up 3.3% y-o-y to SGD148m, within our expectations. Its orderbook of SGD12.7bn supports our 6.7% earnings growth forecast for FY13. We continue to like STE for its solid fundamentals, with a 31% ROE and a 4.2% yield. Maintain BUY, with a DCF-derived TP of SGD4.70. The company will distribute an interim dividend of three cents a share on 13 Sept 2013.
- 2Q13 results within expectations. STE's 2Q13 results were in line, with 2Q13 and 1H13 PATMI accounting for 24% and 46% of our and consensus' FY13 estimates respectively. Given that 1H has historically been weaker than 2H, Management expects higher revenue and PBT in 2H13 compared to 1H13.
- Broad-based growth. 2Q13 PATMI grew 3.3% y-o-y and 10.3% q-o-q to SGD148, while PBT margins remained stable, declining by a marginal 0.1ppt y-o-y to 11.9%. STE recorded growth across all its business segments on a PBT level. Its key aerospace segment's PBT growth was muted (+0.9% y-o-y), partly due to a SGD7m disposal of property gain in 2Q12.
