SAC Capital - Sanli Environmental Limited (SANLI SP, S$0.163, TP:S$0.182, BUY)

Sanli Environmental Limited reported mixed financial results for FY2026. The Group’s FY26 revenue declined by 11.4% YoY to S$139.6 million due to extended project timelines and resulting delays in revenue recognition. The Group’s overall gross margin increased 18.7% to 11.1% in FY26 from FY25 mainly due to improved margins from its Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) segment. As a result, the Group’s net profit increased 31.3% to S$2.25 million in FY26. The Group announced a proposed final dividend of 0.189 Singapore cents per share, constituting approximately 30% of net profit attributable to owners of the Company in FY2026.

The Group’s order book stood at S$741.8 million as of 31 March 2026 a compared to S$228.6 million at the end of FY25, providing significantly stronger revenue visibility for FY27 and FY28. The Group was awarded with multiple contract wins in FY2026, accumulating approximately S$590 million of new EPC contracts. The S$590 million includes a maiden LTA project with a contract value of S$281 million, and a new project by PUB with a contract value of S$205.0 million, demonstrating PUB’s continued trust in Sanli Environmental Ltd. Most recently, the Group was awarded new contracts across private and public sectors worth circa S$14.0 million, announced on 15 April 2026. The robust project pipeline reflects the Group’s strong foothold in the industry and provides an encouraging outlook for the next financial year.

Continued delays in revenue recognition. The Group’s FY26 revenue of S$139.6 million came in below our expected forecast of S$170.5 million, primarily due to delays in revenue recognition. Despite the elevated orderbook, we have conservatively revised our FY27 revenue forecast up 11.4% to S$225.8 million from our previous published number. Our FY27 and FY28 forecasts have taken into consideration 1-year delays on the Group’s short-term projects, as Sanli looks to clear its backlog of current projects and break ground for its new projects. Due to extended project execution timelines and associated delay-related costs, we lowered our expected gross margin for FY27 to 11.0% from 12.5%. Therefore, we adjust our FY27 net profit forecast down by 35.4% to S$5.3 million. Looking ahead, we expect project execution and delivery to improve in FY28 as new projects gain momentum. Accordingly, we forecast a modest recovery in gross margin to 11.5% in FY28.

Dividends for FY2026 amounted to 0.189 Singapore cents per share, constituting 29.9% dividend payout ratio. This is consistent with the dividend payout of FY24 and FY25, with dividend payout ratios of 30.0% and 29.8% respectively. Following this, we forecast a dividend yield of 2.2% for FY2027. 

Risks Rising cost pressures increasing the prices of raw materials, freight rates and labor costs pose challenges, potentially eroding Sanli Environmental Limited’s gross margins.

Investment Recommendation To account for project delays, we have revised down our FY27 net profit forecast by 35.4% to S$5.3 million. With the substantial pipeline of EPC projects over the next few years, we expect the Group to regain its footing in producing timely project execution and delivery. Sanli is currently trading at a one-year forward P/E of 10.3x. Using the Catalist board valuation as a reference, the median P/E of the Catalist board is 12.0. We maintain our BUY call with a revised price target of S¢18.2, a 20.2% reduction from our previous price target. This represents a 11.6% upside from current levels.

Reclaims Global Limited -(RGL SP, S$0.198, TP:S$0.22, BUY)

Revenue visibility improves meaningfully. Reclaims’ wholly owned subsidiary, Reclaims Enterprise, was recently awarded two earthworks contracts with an aggregate value of approximately S$9.55m. Together with contract wins announced since November 2025, these projects expand the Group’s order pipeline and improve revenue visibility across FY2027–FY2028.

Margin resilience supports earnings conversion. Gross margin improved from 44.3% in FY2025 to 48.3% in FY2026, driven by stronger project execution and a more favourable project mix. Reported FY2026 net margin was 14.7%, including a divestment gain; excluding this item, underlying net margin was 12.1%.

Recommendations. We maintain a BUY rating with a Target Price of S$0.22, representing a 11.1% upside from current price. The target price is derived by applying a 25% discount to the peer- average P/E to reflect Reclaim's smaller scale and lower trading liquidity.
iX Biopharma: For years, we have advocated for ketamine’s potential in treating depression, particularly treatment-resistant depression. Today, the clinical reality is catching up.

The Institute of Mental Health (IMH) is now using intravenous ketamine successfully for patients with hard-to-treat depression, with more than half responding to treatment.

This is especially significant because racemic ketamine is not specifically approved to treat depression and is being used "off-label". Even though intravenous treatment requires a needle and multiple 40-minute infusions, clinicians are choosing ketamine because of the meaningful difference it can make. It shows that clinicians will adopt a treatment when the evidence and patient need support it.

The United States is already well ahead. Ketamine therapy is widely used in specialist clinics, and the US ketamine clinics market was estimated at US$3.77 billion in 2024.

At iX Biopharma, we recognised this potential years ago. Wafermine is our sublingual ketamine wafer - non-invasive, needle-free and designed to allow flexible dosing. While we are pursuing its approval as a pain treatment, the IMH report reinforces ketamine’s broader therapeutic potential, including its off-label use for depression. Better delivery could broaden its impact.

This marks meaningful progress in addressing a significant unmet need, as depression continues to affect a growing number of people.

*Asia’s AI boom has a dirty secret: the coal that powers it*

https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/health-environment/article/3360977/asias-ai-boom-has-dirty-secret-coal-powers-it

In the rush to build the digital future, regional tech hubs are digging up the past

Asia sits atop vast amounts of coal, nearly three-fifths of the world’s known reserves by some estimates.

Cheaper and more reliable than imported oil and gas, and far less vulnerable to disruptions caused by foreign wars, coal is also dirty, polluting – and the region’s No 1 “stopgap source” to power the AI infrastructure roll-out.
*Beng Kuang Marine (BKM SP/BUY/S$0.485/PE-Based TP of S$0.750)*
 
*Deepening FPSO Exposure, Orderbook On The Rise*
 
_By Tang Kai Jie UOBKH_
 
*Key takeaways from SG Small & Mid Cap Corporate Day.* Management outlined BKM's strategy to strengthen its position as an FPSO-focused oil & gas player through lifecycle services, capacity expansion, and growth in managed FPSO assets.

*1H26 contract wins and purchase orders.* BKM secured S$85.2m of new contracts in 1H26, including major FPSO tank service awards in West Africa that underpin a multiyear life extension programme and future recurring work.

*Orderbook continues to grow.* BKM's outstanding orderbook stood at S$70.7m as at end-Jun 26, supported by recurring FPSO opportunities and selective replenishment across its engineering and equipment businesses.
 
*Maintain BUY with an unchanged target price of S$0.75,* pegged to 14.0x 2027F PE. We expect re-rating to continue as BKM continues to deepen its FPSO exposure and strengthen its orderbook. BKM currently trades around 9.2x 2027F PE, below peers’ average of 11.8x 2027F PE, highlighting BKM’s undervaluation.
