Credit Suisse raises Keppel Corp's (BN4.SG) target to $13.50 vs $12.10 and Sembcorp Marine (S51.SG) target to $6.20 vs S$5.80 as the brokerage remains Overweight on the offshore & marine sector.



It says market trends indicate that a new rig replacement cycle is possible and that newer generation rigs are increasingly required to enable conversion of more challenging reservoirs.
