With a "stellar" run of more than 65% year to date, Jason Sum has downgraded his call for Singapore Technologies Engineering (SGX:S63) from "buy" to "hold", but with a slightly higher target price of $7.70, up from $7.50 previously.

"We believe the risk-reward has turned neutral, given that its strong earnings visibility and momentum are already baked in," writes Sum in his May 27 note.

For him, ST Engineering's 1QFY2025 revenue was largely in line but "uneven", with the defence and public security segment growing at a much faster pace compared to the other major business lines.
