Ezion Holdings +2.8% in good volume; Buy: OCBC

Ezion Holdings (5ME.SG) +2.8% at $0.74 at 10:52 a.m.; stock among SGX’s top-10 most traded today, still benefiting from news late Wednesday provider of marine logistics, support services to oil & gas industry has entered JV with Germany’s BBC Chartering for ownership of multi-purpose vessel, has chartered vessel to BBC for US$28 million ($36.3 million) over 6 years, says Dow Jones.

OCBC, which has Buy rating, says “though the impact (from deal on Ezion earnings) may not be significant, we are positive on this development as it paves the way for larger contracts going forward, if execution is smooth. We are expecting more clarity by Feb 2011.”

Raises fair value to $0.82 vs $0.79 after tweaking FY11 earnings to account for deal; tips FY11 net profit of $56.7 million on revenue of $151.1 million. Shares off day’s high at $0.75, orderbook quotes suggest minimal upside beyond there for now.
