- LHN Logistics Ltd (LHNL SP) shares rose 7.5% yesterday. CGS-CIMB is positive on LHN Logistics as it projects earnings growth for the logistics arm of LHN in the near term amid recovering trade activity. In a report on Thursday (Jun 2), analyst Kenneth Tan initiated coverage on the group with an “add” call and target price of S$0.22, which implies a 50% market size discount to peers based on its valuation of 9 times CGS-CIMB’s price-to-earnings estimates for 2023.
- Marco Polo Marine Ltd (MPM SP) shares extended their gains and rose 6.1% yesterday. RHB Group Research analyst Jarick Seet has maintained his “buy” call on Marco Polo Marine (MPM), with an unchanged target price of 4 cents as the company is on track for turnaround and better performance. In his June 3 note, Seet says MPM’s 1HFY2022 utilisation rate has recovered to pre-pandemic levels and rises YoY, driven by strong demand from both the oil and gas (O&G) and offshore wind farm sectors. RHB expects utilisation rates to pick up to 70%-80% from the current 60% by the end of the year.
- RH Petrogas Ltd (RHP SP) and Rex International Holding Ltd (REXI SP) shares rose 5.6% and 6.0% respectively yesterday. WTI crude futures jumped toward $120 per barrel on Monday after Saudi Arabia sharply raised prices for its crude sales in July, highlighting tight global supplies even after OPEC+ agreed to accelerate its output increases over the next two months. Saudi Arabia raised the official selling price for its flagship Arab light crude bound for its main Asian market and to northwest Europe, while holding the premium steady for barrels going to the US. Monday’s gains followed sharp moves last week when OPEC+ decided to increase output in July and August by 648,000 barrels per day or 50% more than previously planned. However, markets continued to doubt the group’s ability to meet demand as several member countries struggled to boost output, at a time demand is soaring in the US amid peak driving season and as China eases Covid lockdowns. Meanwhile, Brent crude futures jumped toward $121 per barrel on Monday.
- Geo Energy Resources Ltd (GERL SP) shares rose 2.4% yesterday. Newcastle coal futures, the benchmark for top consuming region Asia, consolidated above the $400-per-tonne mark and just 20 dollars shy of its record peak, supported by continued robust demand against a tightening market backdrop. Along with increasing demand for power generation with a resumption in economic activity after the coronavirus-induced slump, soaring natural gas prices in Europe and Asia in late 2021 boosted coal consumption.
