0244 GMT - ST Emgineering's earnings outlook appears robust, says RHB Research's Shekhar Jaiswal in a report. The technology, defence and engineering group's record order book of S$32.6 billion provides roughly three years of revenue visibility, the analyst says. Net gearing is expected to fall to 81% by end-2027 from 183% in 2024. The restructuring of its aviation asset management into a fund platform could lift assets under management to US$3.5 billion by 2029, the analyst says. Upside could come from stronger international defense orders and lower interest costs. Key risks include the pace of aerospace recovery, margin pressure, delivery delays and acquisitions. RHB maintains a buy rating on the stock and a target price of S$9.40. Shares are up 2.1% at S$8.35. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
