0341 GMT - BRC Asia's earnings are likely to peak in FY 2027-FY 2028, says CGS International's Natalie Ong in a note. The Singapore steel fabricator's order book hit a high of S$2.2 billion at end-December, she says, noting the company is likely benefiting from Singapore's elevated construction activity from 2025-2029. While labor bottlenecks and safety-related work stoppages could result in construction delays, BRC Asia is managing these risks by taking on smaller projects and reducing its exposure to large projects, she says. This in turn enhances its earnings resilience, Ong adds. She raises her FY 2026-FY 2028 earnings per share estimates by 8%-19% to reflect higher sales volume estimates. CGSI raises its target price to S$5.40 from S$4.90 and maintains an add rating. Shares rise 1.1% to S$4.71. (megan.cheah@wsj.com)
