Stocks to watch:
*Riverstone. MKE believes that recent share price correction due to Malaysia’s new FX repatriation policy has been overdone, as it has a limited earnings impact. Maintain Hold with TP of $0.92 (pegged to 16x FY17e P/E), as current valuation of 15x is not compelling.
*Citic Envirotech/ Sunpower: A consortium comprising the two, together with Guangdong Keying Zhiran Environmental has been awarded a Rmb3.2b PPP project consisting co-gen power and steam facilities, an industrial wastewater treatment plant, water cycling plant and other ancillary assets in Guangdong, China.

*Mermaid Maritime: Terminated a contract to construct a DP2 dive support and construction vessel for China Merchants Industry on mutual terms. The pre-paid installment of US$20.4m has been impaired in FY15, and no further obligations are due. Trading at 0.5x P/B.
