Analysts’ Opinion
Last month, analysts from UOB Kay Hian and CGS-CIMB expressed their bullish views on the stock.
Adrian Loh from UOB is predicting a 20.5% upside in the share price. According to Loh, Singapore’s offshore sector is anticipated to maintain a positive outlook in 2023. This projection is supported by the limited global supply resulting from years of underinvestment. He observed that there is considerable upside potential for production assets in the coming years, which would serve as a supportive factor for Seatrium.
Last month, CGS-CIMB analyst Lim Siew Khee also confirmed her Buy rating on the stock, forecasting a growth of 32% in the share price. Although Lim predicts that the company will continue to experience a net loss of S$45 million, she is confident that Seatrium is in a favorable position to secure additional significant contracts.
She also expects that the company, with its existing order book exceeding S$20 billion, has the potential to secure an additional S$7 billion in contracts during the upcoming fiscal year of 2024.
