0705 GMT - Hong Leong Asia has multiple growth drivers supporting an estimated 26% earnings-per-share compound annual growth rate 2025-2027, say CGS International analysts in a note. Data-center demand is likely to boost the Singapore industrial company's powertrain segment, the analysts say. The building material segment's profit is also likely to gain after Hong Leong acquired Yong Tai Loong, one of only five companies approved to build shelters in Singapore public housing, they say. The deal is expected to be accretive to Hong Leong's 2026-2027 EPS while offering two to three years of orderbook visibility, the analysts add. CGSI raises its 2026-2027 EPS estimates by 3%-11%. The brokerage lifts its target price to S$5.50 from S$4.50 and retains an add rating. Shares rise 2.4% to S$3.37.(megan.cheah@wsj.com)
