0517 GMT - Incoming AEM CEO Amy Leong has a strong semiconductor background to support her role, says CGS International analyst William Tng, citing a CEO transition chat with the Singapore-listed company. The brokerage would like to see Amy work with the AEM board to explore higher standards of investor disclosure, Tng says. With AEM competing with global players, the CEO and the board should also consider whether the semiconductor and electronics test solutions provider can achieve better valuation in other financial markets, he adds. The brokerage adjusts its model for AEM's 1-for-100 share bonus issue and trims the target price to S$1.82 from S$1.84 with an unchanged reduce rating. Shares are 2.1% higher at S$1.96.
