0214 GMT - BRC Asia's earnings may benefit from a strong project pipeline and other tailwinds, UOB Kay Hian analysts say in a research report. Its medium-term outlook seems favorable, given robust demand from the likely large number of public-housing projects being planned and upcoming infrastructure projects in Singapore. Order book of the provider for prefabricated reinforcing steel is robust at S$1.4 billion as at end-4Q FY 2024, and the steel market is expected to recover from 2025 onward, the analysts add. The brokerage lifts its estimates for BRC Asia's FY 2025-2026 profit after tax and minority interests by 1%-4%. It raises the stock's target price to S$2.52 from S$2.29, with an unchanged hold rating. Shares are unchanged at S$2.58. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
