Key Team of Skylink Holdings build stakes
Skylink Holdings’ : XZB -3.92% executive director and CEO, Wesley Shen, acquired 100,000 shares at an average price of $0.260 per share on Apr 8. He acquired a further 100,000 shares at an average price of S$0.240 per share on Apr 9.
Non-independent non-executive chairman Teh Wing Kwan also acquired 100,000 shares, at an average price of $0.245 per share on Apr 9. Skylink chief financial officer Leonard Teh acquired 100,000 shares at an average price of $0.245 per share on Apr 9.
Indicative of their confidence in the business, this followed the group providing key business updates for H2 FY2026 on Apr 7.
Skylink, on its operational resilience, highlighted more long-term commercial vehicle leasing contracts, the addition of new hire-purchase financing loan books, and the completion of more repairs and maintenance and bodywork customisation jobs.
Given the structural roles of the group’s core businesses within Singapore’s economy and the recently announced electric vehicle initiatives, Skylink’s business volume increased during H2 FY2026, and remained resilient despite heightened geopolitical risks.
The majority of the group’s leases are under long-term contracts with a diversified base of customers, which serve as a strong safeguard against market concentration and business risks.

*Reclaims Global (RGL SP/BUY/S$0.22/Target: S$0.27)*
_FY26: Earnings Beat Along With Strong Balance Sheet_
By Kai Jie Tang, Heidi Mo UOBKH
*Earnings beat.* Reclaims' FY26 net profit of S$6.8m (+23% yoy) beat our expectations by 13%, driven by improved project mix and stronger demand. GPM expanded to 48.3% (+4ppt yoy) and revenue rose 5% yoy to S$46.5m.
Revenue growth was led by excavation with S$35m (75% of FY26 revenue, +15% yoy) and logistics/leasing (23% of revenue, +33% yoy), partially offset by weaker recycled waste sales.
*Payout ratio almost doubled.* A final and special DPS of 1.0 cent each was declared, bringing total FY26 dividends to 2.5 S cents or 54% payout ratio (FY25: 28%), backed by a strong net cash position of S$28m (~28% of market cap).
*Partial cost pass-through from higher diesel prices* of 40-60% will help mitigate margin pressures.
*Strong order win momentum to drive earnings growth.* Reclaims secured new contracts of up to S$18.6m in 4QFY25 (Nov-Jan), which are expected to contribute in FY27.
*Maintain BUY with a target price of S$0.27,* pegged to 12x FY27F PE. Reclaims trades at only 10x FY27F PE despite its high ROE of 17%.

Beng Kuang Marine (BKM SP/INITIATE BUY/S$0.48/Target: S$0.64)
Asset-Light O&G Player Well-Positioned To Capture FPSO Servicing Demand And See Multifold Earnings Jump In 2027

https://research.uobkayhian.com/content_download.jsp?id=90245&h=2c2f296b71dfd73cea9435d24de06153
Well-positioned market leader. Beng Kuang Marine (BKM) is a leading corrosion prevention and offshore asset integrity service provider, benefitting from strong demand across SEA, the Middle East and Latin America. Corrosion-related services remain critical and non-discretionary, supporting resilient margins and pricing power.
Ageing FPSO fleet supports demand. With over half of the global FPSO fleet >30 years old, ongoing repair and life extension, as well as high replacement costs and long newbuild lead times underpin demand for BKM’s services.
Recurring nature of business. BKM derives around 80% of its revenue from recurring, non-discretionary services for ageing FPSO and FSO assets. These services are essential and provides revenue visibility, with the proportion of recurring revenue expected to increase further following ASOM’s consolidation.
Transformational ASOM acquisition. The S$60m acquisition of the remaining 49% of ASOM (by end-Jun 26) could drive 3-4x earnings growth to ~S$20m in 2027 (vs ~S$5m in 2025).
Shift to higher-quality earnings. BKM's transition to an asset-light, service-led model under BKM 2.0 with ~80% recurring revenue is expected to rise further post-ASOM, supporting stronger ROE and cash flow.
Solid start to 2026. BKM secured S$51.2m in revenue with an orderbook of S$55.9m as at end-1Q26, providing good earnings visibility.
Initiate BUY with a target price of S$0.64, pegged to 12x 2027F PE (+1.5SD above mean). Trading at only 9x PE or a steep 60% discount to peers (14.6x), we see scope for re-rating as the market recognises BKM’s transition to a higher-quality, recurring earnings model and the full impact of ASOM consolidation.

*Beng Kuang Marine is no longer scrap metal. UOB thinks the market has missed it*
For years, Beng Kuang would have been viewed as another offshore engineering name tied to yards, contracts and the mood of the oil market.
That description is becoming dated.
The group has been shifting towards higher-margin services such as corrosion prevention, maintenance and offshore asset life-extension work.
These are less glamorous businesses than shipbuilding or fabrication, but they often produce steadier cash flow.
I learnt early in broking that boring earnings are regularly mispriced.
Markets love excitement. They reward consistency much later.
Still, the market often pays best when old labels are wrong.
At 48 cents, Beng Kuang Marine is no longer obscure, but it may still be misunderstood.
There is a difference, and sometimes that difference is where money is made.

BENG KUANG MARINE LIMITED : 06-May-2026
General Announcement::Beng Kuang Attracts Strong Institutional Demand and Reputable Investors in Founder's Share Sale
*Offshore & Marine - The Accidental Gift: How The Iran War May Become Offshore Energy’s Most Powerful Catalyst*
From Adrian Loh & Heidi Mo, UOBKH
Top picks in the sector. We prefer the small/mid-cap plays in the offshore & marine sector as we believe their respective growth options appear more exciting compared to the larger industrials that we cover. Key stock picks include our recent initiation Beng Kuang as well as ASL Marine and Marco Polo Marine.
Predictable unpredictability. The Middle East conflict is now in its ninth week with almost daily speculation on the on-again/off-again re-opening of the Straits of Hormuz. Energy shipping charter markets have been strong ytd in 2026 as a result of the conflict and rates mostly above pre-conflict levels. In particular, Clarksons data indicates that Very Large Gas Carrier earnings have risen to two-year highs with many Asian countries struggling to refocus their LNG requirements from the Middle East to the US or Australia.
Offshore rates have surged. Since the start of the Iran war, the key North Sea an SE Asia markets have seen a firm to stronger earnings trends. Relevant to the companies we cover in Singapore, SE Asia’s term rates for Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) units remained extremely steady, holding at nearly US$8,500/day while in the drilling rig market, there has been positive momentum for high-spec jack-up units where rates saw a notable increase in April, jumping 18% to US$100,000-140,000/day.
Impact of the Iran war. Given the energy supply risks exposed by the Iran war, we expect a) increasingly diversified project sanctioning to happen in the longer term (eg offshore Africa/South America) and b) more offshore engineering solutions to extend the life of existing facilities as domestic production and energy security is prioritised. The latter will benefit Seatrium due to its world-class skills in upgrades and conversions of second-hand assets, and Beng Kuang for its repair and life extension services.

Top picks in the sector. We prefer the small/mid-cap plays in the offshore & marine sector as we believe their respective growth options appear more exciting compared to the larger industrials that we cover. Key stock picks include our recent initiation Beng Kuang as well as ASL Marine and Marco Polo Marine.
Predictable unpredictability. The Middle East conflict is now in its ninth week with almost daily speculation on the on-again/off-again re-opening of the Straits of Hormuz. Energy shipping charter markets have been strong ytd in 2026 as a result of the conflict and rates mostly above pre-conflict levels. In particular, Clarksons data indicates that Very Large Gas Carrier earnings have risen to two-year highs with many Asian countries struggling to refocus their LNG requirements from the Middle East to the US or Australia.
Offshore rates have surged. Since the start of the Iran war, the key North Sea an SE Asia markets have seen a firm to stronger earnings trends. Relevant to the companies we cover in Singapore, SE Asia’s term rates for Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) units remained extremely steady, holding at nearly US$8,500/day while in the drilling rig market, there has been positive momentum for high-spec jack-up units where rates saw a notable increase in April, jumping 18% to US$100,000-140,000/day.
