DBS Group Rising risk-on sentiment
■ Delayed Fed fund rate cuts (DBS expects two in 2H24F) and further asset repricing should support stronger NIMs in FY24F. Loan growth could taper. ■ DBS guides for FY24F ROE to trend at c.17%. Release of excess capital supports dividend upside (via core/special or M&A), but timing is uncertain. ■ Reiterate Hold with a higher TP of S$35.90. While its c.6% yield is attractive, we think that sequential earnings growth over FY25-26F may be challenging.

This represents a 16.7% year-on-year growth in new orders as compared to S$159.6 million in 1Q2023 and was mainly driven by stronger demand for Electrifi caƟ on and AutomaƟ on soluƟ ons in the Infrastructure and Energy industries.

Consensus target price stands at $0.61, represenƟ ng 43.5% upside to current share price. We conƟ nue to like that CSE Global will benefi t from their record order wins towards the end of last year as management believes that the normalizaƟ on of their supply chain should allow them to execute and accelerate the delivery of their orders. Their businesses are also plugged into the current “Hot” sectors such as data centers, oil & gas, mining & minerals and serving the governments in Singapore & Australia (infrastructure segments). Management is confi dent that 2024 will be a growth year and consensus is expecƟ ng another 25-30% growth this year aŌ er last year’s 100% growth rate. We see potenƟ al for upside earnings surprises given the strong order momentum, Maintain “ACCUMULATE”. |
