Singapore Technology Off to a good start
Decent start to 2021 Reports and announcements of capex plans for various chipmakers corroborate the view of continued upswing for semiconductor equipment spending (positive for UMS, Frencken). Meanwhile, AEM is acquiring CEI, and we believe more M&A may be on the cards. While Malaysia has announced MCO, we see limited impact to our coverage as manufacturing is an essential industry. We stay POSITIVE with BUYs on UMS, Frencken, Venture and AEM.

Compelling value for a morphing China behemoth. We maintain our BUY recommendation on CRCT with a 1-year target price of S$1.70. The yield accretion to our revised FY21 forecasts is attractive at 5.0% post acquisition of sponsor’s business park portfolio, while forward yields are at a compelling 7.4% on current price levels.
