Boustead Singapore Ltd Brighter outlook in FY3/24F
■ Earnings recovery started to take shape in 2HFY23, with core PATMI growing to S$18m (+32% hoh, +35% yoy); but results was a slight miss. ■ We forecast a 52% core PATMI growth in FY24F, driven by strong order win momentum for energy engineering and a higher stake in Boustead Projects. ■ Geospatial segment steady despite FX headwinds. Reiterate Add; TP raised to S$1.40 as we account for the earnings-accretive stake increase in BP.

Oil & Gas – Malaysia Petronas Shows Signs Of Cost Increases And Structural Capex Shifts In 1Q23
Petronas’ 1Q23 results show two key takeaways that reiterate our sector theme. It is increasingly focusing on scrutinising cost inflation (despite lower product costs). Secondly, its five-year forward local O&G capex reflects its decreasing local capex mix over time vs East Malaysian oil majors, and necessitates overseas expansion. Overall, we see higher activity levels, along with higher earnings volatility amid the structural changes. Retain OVERWEIGHT with selective investments.
