Most capital goods companies poised for double-digit earnings growth in FY25F

Most defensive growth is expected from STE, which is projected to deliver approximately 15% growth.

Several large-cap capital goods companies, except YZJSB, is expected to achieve double-digit YoY earnings growth in FY25F.

In its report, CGS International (CGSI) said the most defensive growth is expected from STE, which is projected to deliver approximately 15% growth, driven by the execution of defense and urban solutions projects.

Additionally, it said the market has underestimated SCI’s core earnings growth, which could potentially reach around 10% due to annual contributions of S$50-60 million from Senoko Power.

It anticipates the largest earnings growth from STM, with a projected increase of 50%, as revenue rises by 26% in FY25F.

Amng the capital goods companies under its coverage, CGSI said Keppel Corporation (KEP) will need to accelerate its efforts in FY25F to meet its cumulative asset monetisation target of $10b to12b by 2026F.

For STM, the resolution of ongoing investigations by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) is a critical re-rating catalyst.

CGSI said additional drivers include the delivery of legacy projects and achieving the target FY25F EBITDA margin of 8%.

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.
