Petrochemical Better days for olefins still further away
■ ASEAN integrated PE/PP spread recovery seen during Jul-Aug 23 was shortlived, given abundant spare capacity in Asia. ■ We believe SCC’s chemical EBITDA should be able to hold up better than Thai peers’, thanks to resilient PVC spread.

Siam Cement Difficult outlook likely to continue in 2H23F
■ ASEAN integrated PE/PP spread remains weak at US$89/t in Sep 23, likely leading to operating loss for SCC’s two naphtha crackers, in our view. ■ We expect stronger integrated spread and higher PE sales volume to be the key EPS driver in 2024F. Reiterate Hold.

The Business Times reported on CSE Global (S$0.44, unchanged) is fresh from a successful pivot into clean energy projects, the systems integration solutions provider is hungry for more avenues to drive further growth. ] One area that the group has been actively growing is the provision of critical communications services – or closed networks – to government agencies and large multinational corporations. In February, it acquired Florida-based communications solutions company Radio One, in a bid to further its expertise in the area. Radio One provides voice, video and data solutions to consumers. CSE Global’s market cap stands at S$266.0mln and currently trades at 13.2x forward PE and 1.1x PB. We continue to like CSE Global as a stable and proven yield play that is re-experiencing growth with their latest acquisitions and strong order book which provides earnings visibility. Despite their latest rights issue to fund earnings accretive acquisitions, CSE Global has continued to pay a stable dividends of 2.75 S cts/share (translating to 6.3% yield). Order book visibility ($480.3mln) will continue to drive earnings and the easing of global supply chain issues should help accelerate order book recognition moving forward. As such, we maintain a BUY call on CSE Global with a target price of S$0.60, representing 36.4% upside to current share price.
