Marco Polo Marine Fleet expansion on the line
■ At its analyst briefing, Marco Polo said its CSOV is contributing well, with minimal setup issues. A second CSOV could be announced soon, we think. ■ We believe an easing bank financing landscape for OSV players could drive further fleet additions for MPM. ■ Management noted a pickup in yard enquiries for repairs. However, we think revenue contribution could be subdued due to lack of newbuild order visibility. ■ Reiterate Add with a higher TP of S$0.08 on the industry’s upward re-rating

Frencken Group Ltd Expect a stable 2H25e PATMI
▪ 1H25 revenue/PATMI were within our expectations, at 49%/48% of our FY25e forecasts. 1H25 revenue/PATMI increase of 20%/9% YoY was driven by strength in the semiconductor segment, due to stable sales growth to a key European customer and a rebound in Asia sales. Frencken’s outlook for its semiconductor segment is more muted due to potential order volatility from its customers. Nonetheless, we remain optimistic about the demand for advanced chip equipment components over the next two years, driven by Hyperscalers’ strong demand for AI chips and rising sovereign AI investments.
