  • Occidental Petroleum Corp (OXY US) and Marathon Oil Corp (MRO US) shares both rose 8.5% yesterday. Crude Oil WTI increased 2% to 114.36 USD/Bbl, amid reports about the EU’s potential ban of Russian petroleum imports. European Union governments will consider whether to impose an oil embargo on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine as they gather this week with US President Joe Biden for a series of summits designed to harden the West’s response to Moscow. On Monday, both WTI futures and Brent futures had settled up more than 7% as the potential for more supply disruptions weighed on the market following attacks on Saudi oil facilities by Yemen’s Houthi group.
  • Nielsen Holdings Plc (NLSN US) shares fell 6.9% yesterday after it rejected a $9.13 billion takeover bid, worth $25.40 per share, from a private-equity consortium. Nielsen said the bid significantly undervalues the company, best known for its TV ratings.
  • Boeing Company (BA US) shares fell about 3.6% yesterday after a Boeing 737 passenger jet crashed in China with 132 people on board. China’s civil aviation agency lost contact with the flight over Wuzhou, and the number of deaths is currently unknown.
  • General Motors (GM US) shares fell 2.7% as Morgan Stanley lowered its price target to $50 per share and reiterated the auto company as equal weight. Analysts said they were concerned about inflation and ongoing supply chain disruptions which could affect demand.

  • Pan-United Corporation (PAN SP) shares surged 13% on Monday after Lim & Tan starts coverage on the company with a BUY recommendation and a TP of S$0.54. The research firm expects the company to enjoy YoY earnings growth in FY2022 due to upcoming infrastructure projects and rising ready-mix-concrete (RMC) prices. 
  • Golden Energy & Resources Ltd (GER SP) shares surged another 12% on Monday after gaining 28% on Friday. We issued a company update on Golden Energy last Thursday, maintaining our Outperform recommendation and raised our TP to S$1.29, taking into account the acquisition of BMC. Golden Energy & Resources is on track to significantly expand its production capacity and profits with the acquisition of BHP Mitsui Coal Pty Ltd (BMC). The acquisition will cement GEAR, through its ASX-listed Stanmore subsidiary, as a major metallurgical coal (coking coal) provider in the region. Metallurgical coal is the key ingredient in the steel industry, whose demand is driven by China now and India in the future. Read our full report here.
  • Samudera Shipping (SAMU SP) shares added another 12% to last Friday’s 9.3% gains. SAC Capital analyst Lim Shu Rong is optimistic about Samudera Shipping Line as it rides on a “bumper year” for shipping lines. In an unrated report dated March 15, Lim notes freight rates are still “buoyant and favourable” to shipping companies as the capacity imbalance persists, adding that the China containerized freight index was up 76% y-o-y as at March 11. However, Lim is less upbeat on Samudera’s operating margin, which is expected to come under pressure, due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
  • Uni-Asia Group (UAG SP) shares surged 12% on higher-than-average trading volumes after the Baltic Handysize Index continued its rise to 1662 points, after finding a trough at around 1,000 points in February 2022. We have an OUTPERFORM recommendation and a TP of S$1.66. 
  • Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust (MAGIC SP) units rose 9% on Monday after activist fund manager Quarz Capital Management sent a letter to MAS asking to ensure that the manager of MAGIC fulfils its fiduciary duty to unitholders.
