Senoko Energy's attraction includes a direct gas pipeline from Malaysia and land for a new gas power plant. The brokerage expects the energy and urban solutions provider's 1H earnings to increase, partly thanks to the contribution from Senoko Power. It raises the stock's rating to buy from accumulate and the target price to S$8.10 from S$7.10. Shares are 0.15% higher at S$6.84. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
