0334 GMT - Marco Polo Marine's earnings outlook appears positive as charter rates are likely to rise further, RHB Research analyst Jarick Seet says in a research report. The analyst notes that the company's 3Q FY 2022 revenue and gross profit surged because of a substantial increase in charter rates, utilization rates and expanded capacity of its shipyard. The Singapore-listed marine logistics company, which provides ship chartering among various services, should see charter rates rising by a further 10%-20% in the near term because of limited supply and strong demand, the analyst says. RHB slightly raises the stock's target price to S$0.05 from S$0.04, while maintaining a buy rating. The shares are 5.4% higher at S$0.039. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
