0712 GMT - AEM Holdings may have to wait for a meaningful earnings recovery after reporting a loss in 2Q, says CGS International's William Tng in a note. He expects the semiconductor solutions company's earnings outlook to improve over 2026-2027, thanks to rising demand from new customers. However, their earnings contribution could be slow, leading Tng to reduce his 2026 net profit estimate by 30.8%. He also lowers his 2025 net profit forecast by 56.6% to reflect the company's guidance. "In our view, investors need to see earnings delivery from the new customers to further re-rate the stock," he says. CGS International resumes coverage on AEM, raising its rating to hold from reduce. The brokerage lifts its target price to S$1.44 from S$1.27. Shares gain 2.1% to S$1.44. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
