Frencken quietly makes the complex parts and equipment that chipmakers rely on, so it can benefit from the surge in demand driven by AI without having to bet on any single chip brand.

At the same time, moves into logistics, property, digital platforms, and electric mobility could broaden where profits come from—if the transition doesn’t get bogged down by competition and execution hurdles.Read more

Keppel is reshaping itself around cleaner energy, greener cities, and the digital infrastructure needed to power data-heavy services, while selling off older businesses to fund the shift. The big question is whether it can execute those sales and make its newer income streams reliable enough to offset weak spots in property and telecoms.Read more

Seatrium’s future may hinge on a small set of big-ticket offshore projects, where a pause in customer spending or a stumble in delivery could quickly ripple into weaker results. At the same time, a growing push for cleaner energy equipment and a large backlog could keep work flowing, making the next few years a test of execution and demand.Read more
