Target price: S$3.86 Previous target: S$4.66 ■ We now expect STE’s earnings to decline by 3% yoy in FY20F (previously Up/downside: 13.3% growth of 12%) as we reflect -30% yoy in aerospace revenue. Reiterate Add. CGS-CIMB / Consensus: -12.5% ■ Our TP is cut to S$3.86, still on blended valuations. YTD share price (-15%) could have priced in concerns of growth pressure. Wait for weakness to buy. Reuters: STEG.SI Bloomberg: STE SP S$1.6bn order win in 1Q20, electronics positive surprise Market cap: US$7,483m STE announced S$1.6bn of orders in 1Q20, comprising S$730m (+62% qoq) of S$10,643m electronics contracts which include smart mobility in India (new market), and data Average daily turnover: US$17.49m analytics from Singapore’s PUB.

Perennial pick in the index STE has always been able to perform in line/outperform the MSCI in previous crises, mainly due to diversification of businesses.

EFA Platform Conglomerate │ Singapore ST Engineering │ April 21, 2020 Deferring growth 1Q20 order win could be the peak for 2020 We commend STE’s strong order momentum in 1Q20 but believe most of the contracts were secured pre-global lockdown. Aerospace contracts of S$838m included those announced during the Singapore Airshow in Feb 2020. We note that contract wins typically were stronger during the biennial event. We also note that during the GFC (2008-2009), aerospace contract wins dropped from S$2.1bn in 2007 to S$537m in 2008 and S$394m in 2009.

Specifically for aerospace, maintenance work is charged by the hour on scheduled flight hours clocked in. As airlines are grounded during the Covid lockdown, we believe there could still be a certain amount of maintenance required in 2Q20, keeping aircraft flight worthy in the event of a recovery. However, judging from the steep global cuts in airline capacity expected by IATA of a 48% yoy decline in RPK in 2020, we do not think MRO services would be unscathed. In addition to Covid, IATA expects the second order of events - recessionary global economy to push global by 33% yoy by 4Q20. This takes into account the reopening of domestic markets by 3Q20 and a much slower restart in the international markets. Therefore, managing costs in order to cover this unprecedented loss in revenues will 2 Conglomerate │ Singapore ST Engineering │ April 21, 2020 continue to be the main concern of the airline industry in 2020, pushing aircraft maintenance to the right.

    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.

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.
