ST Engineering's Q2 profit up 10% despite revenue dip
Singapore
ST Engineering's second-quarter net profit rose 10 per cent year on year to S$117.5 million on the back of a better sales mix, the absence of additional cost provisions from a maritime project, and a gain from the divestment of its stake in an associate.
