Keppel Corp (KEP SP) Small But Important Order
KEP reported a S$200m order win which, while relatively small, is an important one in the current bearish industry environment as it enables the company to continue to generate much-needed cashflow for its O&M division. We lower earnings for 2020-22F. Maintain BUY. Target price lowered slightly to S$6.30.

Thai Beverage Back to Happy Hour
■ Thai alcohol volumes rose yoy in Jul 20; we think upcoming government packages may aid consumer purchasing power in FY21F. ■ The number of new daily Covid-19 cases in Thailand and Vietnam (THBEV’s major markets) is dwindling. This bodes well for a recovery in those markets. ■ The share price is trading below its -2 s.d. levels, making it an opportune time to accumulate the stock, in our view. Upgrade to Add with unchanged TP.

Singapore Strategy Returning to the new normal
■ Singapore is easing the Phase 2 circuit breaker as employees can return to the office from 28 Sep with limitations (not more than half of the working hours/staff strength). ■ This move is not a surprise given the low community cases (about 1/day). Some beneficiaries: CD, SBS Transit, LREIT, CMT, MCT, FCT, Koufu. ■ FSSTI trades close to -0.5 s.d. of mean with c.40% of the stocks at -1 and -2 s.d. of mean. We think the easing of measures could re-rate some value stocks (Fig 1).

ComfortDelGro (CD SP) Steering into a green economy
Rising exposure to public transport As a global land transport operator, CDG is exposed to multiple ESG risks, particularly environmental risks. CDG is focused on tackling emissions issues through a fleet replacement programme. It is also exposed to social risks through welfare initiatives for its taxi drivers, especially during the current COVID-19 environment. Nevertheless, ESG imperatives will continue to structurally favour public transport over private vehicle ownership, we believe. CDG offers exposure to this theme and is trading at 1.2x P/B, or 2 s.d away from mean. Maintain BUY with DCF-based TP of SGD1.76 (WACC: 8.2%, LTG: 1%).
