Frencken: Robust 2H26E Should Offset Weaker 1H26

Frencken (SGX:E28) | SGinvestors.io
  • Frencken’s 1QFY26 PATMI fell 20% y-o-y to S$8m, in line with our estimates. We expected 1H26 to be weaker y-o-y, however, we see a ramp up for both its key semi-conductor customers in 2HFY26E to cover a shortfall in 1QFY26, accompanied by higher margin revenue mix from the semi-con segment and better operating leverage,

Semicon ramp up much stronger in 2H26E

  • We expect strong order growth from the deep ultraviolet (DUV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV segments), especially in 2027, for new products (NPI) which could add S$50-100m of revenue. There is currently strong demand and we expect 30-40% y-o-y growth in 2H orders from its Asia customer.

Life science orders likely bottomed and picking up

  • The life science revenue segment should have bottomed in 1QFY26 and with new NPIs being ramped up in the subsequent quarters; we expect q-o-q revenue growth from this segment.

Still a stronger FY26E
