UOB KH Strategy - Singapore | OVERWEIGHT
Financial Conditions Have Tightened
Our STI target of 6,682 is based on an equity risk premium of 3.0%, which is 1x SD below the long-term mean, and risk-free rate at 2.5%. The target represents a fair 2026F PE of 18.2x and upside of 18% for the STI.
We position defensively due to near-term headwinds from fiscal strains in the US and Japan and elevated inflation from a prolonged conflict in the Middle East. Our investment themes: a) beneficiaries of higher bond yields: OCBC (Target: S$32.50); b) value creation through asset recycling and monetisation: Keppel (Target: S$13.26), SingTel (Target: S$5.50) and CityDev (Target: S$11.50); c) growth from Singapore as an Aviation Hub: SATS (Target: S$5.00) and SIA Engineering (Target: S$3.75); d) S-REITs with yields significantly above government bonds: NTT DC REIT (Target: S$1.31) and UI Boustead REIT (Target: S$1.16); e) value-oriented technology picks: Venture Corp (Target: S$21.10) and Valuetronics (Target: S$1.88); and f) SMID Gems: Beng Kuang (Target: S$0.75) and BRC Asia (Target: S$5.30).

Maintain BUY with target price of S$0.88. While Soilbuild's order book has fallen below management's own S$1 billion target, management is taking a disciplined approach to tendering rather than competing on price, and is seeing a pick-up in private-sector construction tenders compared to a year ago.
Valuations are also not expensive, in our view. This implies 35.4% upside from Soilbuild's closing price of S$0.65 on 17 Aug 2026. At our target price, Soilbuild would trade at 9.7x 2026 P/E and offer a 4.1% 2026 dividend yield.

Soilbuild Construction - Record margins with order book in focus
Soilbuild Construction's revenue grew 6.5% year-on-year to S$290.6 million, while net profit attributable to shareholders increased 25.8% to S$35.6 million.
Beng Kuang Marine’s (BKM) 1HFY26’s revenue were broadly in line with our expectations although underlying profitability was softer on a yoy basis as a result of the timing and mix of project execution, with delayed access to higher-margin offshore work in the West Africa Basin and a greater contribution from early-stage shipbuilding projects. However, these projects have now commenced and we expect a materially stronger 2HFY26 as offshore activity ramps up and ASOM’s earnings become fully attributable to BKM. Commercial momentum also remains health with BKM securing c.S$85.2mln of new contract during 1H26 and outstanding contracted work stood at S$70.7mln, providing improved revenue visibility heading into
2HFY26.
With BKM trading below the recent S$0.48 institutionalplacement price, we believe the risk-reward remains attractive given the expected 2H earnings ramp and FY2027 consolidation uplift. We maintain our BUY recommendation with an unchanged TP of S$0.535, pegged to 12.0x blended FY26F/FY27F P/E.

Geo Energy Resources' MBJ road and jetty project has been operational since July and coal from the massive TRA mine is being efficiently moved.
The next major catalyst is evidence showing its value.
A key validation is expected to come soon from Resource Invest AG (ResInvest), a reputable Swiss investment firm, based on a 1H2026 results briefing this week.
ResInvest is in advanced talks to buy a partial MBJ stake from Geo Energy at the US$1.5 billion MBJ valuation agreed to in a May 2026 term sheet.
The transaction not only monetises part of Geo's 71.3% MBJ stake but, more importantly, establishes an external price for what Geo still owns
