Strong FY23: Maintain BUY with SGD0.71 TP
CSE Global beat consensus and our expectations (SGD21m NPAT) with FY23 revenue rising 30% YoY to SGD725m and NPAT surging 372% YoY to SGD22.5m. Cash generated from operations improved significantly to SGD72m from SGD9m in FY22 and net gearing is now at 0.35x.
Order book is 52.2% higher YoY at SGD730.6m. Going forward, we expect margins to continue to improve as CSE executes its order book and enjoys more operating leverage. In addition, we expect CSE to secure more communications and electrification orders. We expect about SGD1.1b of orders in FY24.
In addition, we expect potential accretive acquisitions in Australia and the US for expansion in both key segments. As a result, we raise our FY24/25E PATMI by 10% and 23.4%, and revise up our TP to SGD0.71 from SGD0.65, based on 15x FY24E P/E. CSE is one of our conviction SMID picks, maintain BUY.
