    ST Engineering Terminates Discussion with Cubic Corporation Singapore, 31 March 2021 – Further to the announcement made on 30 March 2021, Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (“ST Engineering”) today updated that following the decision made by the Board of Directors of Cubic Corporation (“Cubic”) (NYSE-CUB) to accept a revised proposal i from Veritas Capital and Evergreen Coast Capital Corporation, ST Engineering has terminated acquisition discussions with Cubic. ST Engineering noted that Cubic determined to accept an offer of US$75 per share in cash that is lower in value than ST Engineering’s US$78 per share in cash offer, which we continue to believe is compelling. "We appreciate the engagement of the Cubic Board and management team throughout this process. ST Engineering is well positioned for further value creation and will continue to execute on the many other opportunities we have to be a key Smart City solutions provider on the global stage. This offer demonstrated our steadfast focus in seeking opportunities for sustainable global growth, and we will continue to maintain a disciplined approach as we pursue our strategic objectives,” said Vincent Chong, Group President & CEO of ST Engineering. ***** ST Engineering is a global technology, defence and engineering group with offices across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the U.S., serving customers in more than 100 countries.

  • Model Portfolio
    Singapore Traders Spectrum Model Portfolio Refer to important disclosures at the end of this report DBS Group Research . Equity 19 May 2017 Portfolio changes 1. Add Thai Beverage to Blue Chip category Overview The benchmark Straits Times Index edged up a tat 0.2% to 3232 since our previous update on 19 May. Signs of moderating growth and a resumption of downward earnings revision in the conclusion of the 1Q17 results season put a lid on the STI. While a year-end objective of 3350 remains possible, we maintain our view for STI 3274 as a near-term cap. The trend is turning sideways from 3185 to 3275. In the event the 3185 fails, weakness to 3130 is seen before the correction ends. Over the course of the past month, we had added Far East Hospitality Trust to the Dividend category and removed POSH from the Growth category. Far East Hospitality Trust gained 2.4% since inclusion on 30 May, outperforming STI’s 1.5% rise over the same period. We removed POSH on the same date in view of its weak performance as it had fallen below our threshold 5% stop-loss with little sign of a price recovery. Our current portfolio picks gained an average 7.9% (cum dividends). Top performer Croesus Retail Trust returned 23.6% since its inclusion on January 11, outperforming STI’s 7.7% gain over the same period. ST Engineering and Frasers Logistics and Industrial Trust performed well with double digit returns. Portfolio changes We add Thai Bev to the Blue Chips category.
