  • Sembcorp reported stronger-than-expected net profit for 2022 with the highlights being its conventional energy segment as well as contribution from its new renewable assets in China.
  • In our view, Sembcorp is likely to undertake more M&As in the renewables space in 2023 as it has S$3.7b to capitalise on such opportunities – this could drive share price performance.
