Technology – Malaysia EMS: On New Avenues To Spearhead Growth
Our Johor trip suggests that the worst is behind for cEMS with sectorial risk-reward calculus tilting towards the favourable side. Besides margin improvement from higher operational efficiency, we see additional impetus stemming from: a) a higher degree of vertical integration; b) a wider market reach; c) technological advancement; and d) new prospects from trade diversion, suggesting that the sector could gain further traction even after the recent V-shaped earnings recovery. Maintain OVERWEIGHT.

Marco Polo Marine (MPM SP) Opportunity to accumulate
Maintain BUY and TP of SGD0.09 MPM’s recent share price weakness (-20% since Apr 2024) does not appear to be related to its fundamentals. In fact, the outlook for MPM has improved as chartering rates continue to rise. Its first CTV was delivered to South Korea this week and is already in operation. We still expect the CSOV for Taiwan to come on stream in Oct’24, with no delays and that utilisation across its fleet will remain high. This would make up for the drop in repairs and maintenance revenue from its yard, which is now recovering. As a result, maintain BUY and TP of SGD0.09, based on 11.2x FY24E P/E.
