Nam Cheong (NCL) has secured sale contracts for two vessels - a Platform Supply Vessel (PSV) and an Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessel (AHTS) - for a combined sum of USD43.1m.

The PSV was sold to a repeat customer in West Africa, E.A. Temile and Sons Development Company of Nigeria Limited, while the AHTS vessel went to a new customer, Kayfour Development Corporation Sdn Bhd in Malaysia.

NCL's order book is maintained at a strong MYR1.4bn.

We expect both vessels to be delivered in the next three months, giving a boost to 1Q/2Q FY14 figures. We continue to like NCL for its dominant position in the shallow-water OSV market. Maintain BUY with an unchanged TP of SGD0.48.

UOB Kay Hian downgrades Boustead to 'hold'


Analyst: Andreas Isabel Co, CFA

Boustead.uob3.14

Downgrade to hold with a higher target price of S$2.00 after outperformance.

We value Boustead Singapore (Boustead) using a SOTP model and at 16.9x FY15F PE (ex-cash 13.4x).

After share price climbed by as much as 18% since Feb 14, the upside to our target price is now less compelling. Nonetheless, we continue to like the group’s business model and see potential catalysts.

We raise our FY14-16F net profit forecasts by 7% after tweaking our margin assumptions and imputing some contribution from the water division. Entry price is S$1.74.
