Excerpts from analyst's report
DBS Vickers analyst: Alfie Yeo
![]() As one of the largest integrated specialist A&A and R&R service providers, we believe ISOTeam enjoys economies of scale in its resources and is able to bid for projects more competitively than its smaller rivals. Newly incorporated JV with Nippon Paint in Myanmar will be able to tap growth potential in infrastructure development and construction activities there. |

VALUATIONS
Growth loaded in Myanmar and renewable energy segment. The stock currently trades at its average of the last six years’ forward PE at 9.3x and slightly below its construction peers’ average of 9.5x.
However, given its growth potential especially in the renewable energy segment and Myanmar, we believe a 10x FY17F PE valuation (equivalent to +1SD) is fair. Our TP works out to S$0.35 per share, which translates to a 12% upside.
♦ Organically & through acquisitions |
