The Edge - Blog Heads "Week Ahead Comment Apr 19: Full steam ahead
THE STRAITS TIMES Index fell 0.4% from its high of 3,019.74 in the middle
of the week, but managed to close the week above 3,000. The market’s
bullishness was driven by better-than-expected GDP growth of 32.1% in 1Q2010
(Singapore’s strongest quarter of growth ever), but later simmered down as
investors took profit from the week’s gains.
With the government forecasting growth of between 7% and 9% this year, DBS
has singled out United Overseas Bank, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp, Singapore
Airlines, Singapore Airport Terminal Services, Tiger Airways, Singapore Press
Holdings, Sembcorp Marine, Neptune Orient Lines and CapitaMall Trust as
beneficiaries of the anticipated upside. In the small-cap arena, its picks are
Broadway Industrial Group, CDL Hospitality Trusts and Frasers Centrepoint Trust.

Mid-Week Comment 31 March: Shipping industry starts to turn

............ Elsewhere, Kim Eng Research is bullish on Singapore Airlines and is raising its
target price to $18.90 from $16.20 earlier because of improved assumptions for passenger
loads from FY11. Analyst Rohan Suppiah believes that higher visitor arrivals into
Singapore, a recovery in the global aviation sector and a rebound in premium travel should
underpin better yields. SIA last traded at $15.20.
CHART WATCH
Leading offshore stocks Sembcorp Marine ($4.25) and Keppel Corp ($9.27) moved up
strongly in the past few sessions, and are experiencing a temporary retreat in the next two
sessions. For SembMarine, the breakout of $4.00 indicated a target of $4.70 and this remains (^.^ )
valid. Keppel’s retreat is also likely to be short-lived. It had broken out of a six-month
sideways range in March indicating a target of $9.93, and this too remains valid.
