- 1Q26 PATMI met 23% of FY26e forecast. PATMI grew 11.1% YoY to S$5mn in 1Q26 driven by margin expansion due to lower finance costs alongside favourable exchange rate effects. With a healthy orderbook of S$213.5mn (+8% YoY), there is strong earnings visibility, with potential pipeline conversion from the defence, semiconductor and marine segments.
- Orderbook grew to S$213.5mn, with a well-diversified pipeline of S$135mn in defence, S$142mn in semiconductor quotations (S$55mn mid-to-high conviction) and S$61mn in the marine sector across 152 vessels. Delivery is primarily expected between 2026 and 2028. YTD contract wins of S$54.5mn were dominated by semiconductor (48%) and marine (15%), with a medium-sized defence contract of between S$6mn - 20mn expected to be awarded.
- We maintain a BUY rating with higher TP of S$0.68 (prev: S$0.63) as we adjust our long-term growth rate assumptions. Nordic trades at an 8.4x FY26e P/E. We expect further growth from FPSO deliveries (aiming for c. 3 deliveries per year), and Avitools Thailand mass production of battery storage frame components.
