0059 GMT - Singapore semiconductor-components maker UMS Integration could see multiple valuation re-ratings, UOB Kay Hian's John Cheong says in a note. Cheong expects UMS to meet its 2Q earnings guidance of S$11 million, thanks to healthy orders from a new customer and after resolving 1Q supply disruption issues. The company's dual listing in Bursa Malaysia, commencing on August 1, has received strong investor interest. UMS, trading at around a 25% discount versus its Malaysian peers, expects to narrow the valuation gap with its peers after the dual listing, Cheong notes. UOB KH increases the stock's target to S$1.73 from S$1.32 to reflect valuation re-ratings from the dual listing and better earnings quality, and maintains a buy rating. Shares last closed 1.4% higher at S$1.43. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
