STOCKS TO WATCH
-- SEMBCORP INDUSTRIES LTD
- Energy, water and marine group Sembcorp Industries posted
a first-quarter net profit of S$176.9 million ($144 million), up
just 0.1 percent from the previous year. The group attributed
the flat results to a decrease in its Singapore utilities
operations that was mitigated by higher contributions from its
China and Middle East utility assets.
-- EZION HOLDINGS LTD
- Ezion reported a net profit of $46.2 million in its first
quarter ended March 31, up 227.8 percent from a year earlier,
boosted by an increase in business activities and a gain from
the divestment of a joint venture in Australia.
-- KREUZ HOLDINGS LTD
- Offshore and marine services company Kreuz Holdings said
its net profit for the first quarter rose 5.4 percent from the
previous year to $10.8 million, boosted by an increase in
revenue from related companies.
-- SING HOLDINGS LTD
- Property development and investment group Sing Holdings
posted a net profit of S$15.8 million ($12.87 million) for the
first quarter, up 121.8 percent from a year earlier. The group
attributed the rise to higher revenue recognition from its
development project.
-- WBL CORPORATION LTD
- WBL posted a net loss of S$11.4 million in the second
quarter, following a net profit of S$20.1 million in the same
period a year earlier. It attributed the results to losses at
its U.S.-listed subsidiary Multi-Fineline Electronix Inc
.
-- CHINA FISHERY GROUP LTD
- China Fishery said net profit fell 13 percent to $41.9
million in the second quarter ended March 28, hurt by lower
sales contributions from its Peruvian fishmeal operations. In
its announcement, it said its tender offer for Peruvian fishmeal
company Copeinca remains "on-going" and noted there
was one competing offer. Norway-based rival Cermaq said
in April it had signed deals to raise its stake in Copeinca to
more than 50 percent.
-- PACIFIC ANDES RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT LTD
- Integrated frozen fish supply group Pacific Andes posted a
net profit of HK$322.2 million ($41.52 million) in the second
quarter, down 3 percent from the previous year. It attributed
the drop to lower sales volume and average selling price of
products.
