ST Engineering's orderbook hit $13.5b

Its aerospace recorded strong orders during the past quarter.

After a strong revenue growth in the past quarter, ST Engineering is poised to be supported by its strong orderbook over the near-to-medium term.

According to OCBC Investment Research, the group will be buttressed by its order book of $13.5b as the aerospace and electronics sectors recorded strong new orders during the past quarter.

"However, on weak performance from the marine sector, ST Engineering has revised its guidance for FY17 profits before taxes from higher to comparable to FY16, whilst maintaining its guidance for FY17 revenue to be comparable to FY16," analyst Eugene Chua said.

Over the longer-term, Chua said the outlook remains positive especially for the group's electronics sector due to the high-growth areas relating to Singapore’s smart nations initiatives, cyber security, and smart city business.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
