Brokers' Take

Offshore & marine Market weight UOB Kay Hian | Jan 15

ALL companies are re-evaluating ways to optimise costs following a fresh round of oil price declines. We cut our Brent crude benchmark from US$60/barrel to US$50/barrel. Following a rerun of our regression analysis, we cut offshore support vessel target prices by 22-39 per cent. We benchmark Singapore rig builders to Asian financial crisis trough price/book value of 0.85 times, but provide alternative valuations based on South Korean yards' lower valuations. Our top picks remain Ezion Holdings and Triyards. Maintain "market weight".
