SATS Ltd 4QFY23 the first of many hurdles to clear
■ 4QFY3/23 core net profit of S$7.2m (ex. S$1.7m of impairment in associates) was ahead of our S$2.5m expectation, but below BBG consensus’ S$10.1m. ■ We believe 0.5% qoq revenue growth highlights aviation industry recovery, but weak macroeconomic conditions could derail the pace of recovery. ■ We expect pressure on share price as the market awaits more clarity from its analyst briefing on 30 May 2023. Reiterate Add and TP of S$3.10.

Kimly (KMLY SP) 1HFY23: Results Within Expectations; Macroeconomic Challenges Remain
For 1HFY23, Kimly’s PATMI remained steady (+0.7% yoy), forming 53.4% of our full-year forecast. Revenue from the food retail segment fell 6% yoy, driven by the normalised demand for delivery sales. Kimly maintained its high net cash balance of S$53.9m (+30.2% yoy). We opine that there is limited upside at current levels in the absence of near-term catalysts. Maintain HOLD with a target price of S$0.36.

Frencken Group Ltd (FRKN SP) AI hype: worth watching
Maintain BUY with unchanged TP of SGD0.94 Amid the recent AI craze following Nvidia’s forecast raise due to strong demand for its AI chips, semi-con related stocks have mostly rallied, even in Singapore. Our channel checks show that orders are yet to be positively impacted but inventory could be depleted faster if the trend persists. We believe that most of Frencken’s weak outlook for FY23E is priced in the shares and it’s one of the few semi stocks trading below its NAV of SGD0.93. As a result, we maintain our BUY with an unchanged TP of SGD0.94, pegged to 9x FY24E PE.
