Phillip adds SGX, Keppel Corp to Singapore top picks

PhillipCapital removes Boustead Singapore (F9D.SG) and SIA Engineering (S59.SG) from its top picks list for Singapore and replaces them with Singapore Exchange (S68.SG) and Keppel Corp. (BN4.SG).

The house likes Singapore Exchange for three reasons: higher securities revenue; continued derivatives revenue growth; an expected increase in free cash flow and dividend yields. It has an Accumulate rating and $8.00 target on the stock.

The house believes that Keppel Corp. "will continue to benefit from the robust O&M outlook, which is well-supported by high dayrates and utilizations for both jack-up and semi-sub rigs." Keppel's 4%-5% dividend yield should also not be ignored, it says. It has an Accumulate rating and $12.34 target on the stock.

Boustead is flat at $1.32, SIA Engineering gains 0.8% to $4.93, Singapore Exchange is up 1.1% at $7.34 and Keppel Corp. is 1% higher at $10.68.
