Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) (YZJSGD SP)

Recent Concerns Overblown – Near-term Order Wins May Take Centre Stage

We recently met with YZJ’s management for an update on the company’s operations and commentary regarding its chairman. In our view, the latter is a non-event as it does not involve the company or its funds, while the mid-term shipbuilding outlook appears positive. Its inexpensive valuation of 0.56x P/B (-2SD below 5-year average) and potential near-term newsflow on order wins has led us to upgrade YZJ to a BUY with a P/B-based price target of S$1.46.

As such, we expect FY20 to be better than FY19, and lift our TP after increasing FY20-21F earnings by 5%.
