Sembcorp Industries’ long-term contracts show optimism: broker

This despite concerns on its earnings tapering off.

Sembcorp Industries received a “buy” call with an increased target price of $4.35 amidst its growth prospects, Maybank Securities said.

The firm reported a net profit of $848m, 204% increase year-on-year (YoY), which surpassed estimates.

This is due to the company’s renewables segment that surpassed expectations, with a net profit soaring 150% YoY.

The company achieved its renewables target of 10GW well ahead of schedule.
