CGS International analysts note that the Singapore-listed shipbuilder appears to offer a compelling risk-reward profile, highlighting a projected dividend yield of roughly 6.6 % for 2027. The analysts also raise their earnings forecasts for the 2026-2028 period by 3 % to 8 %, reflecting confidence in the company’s upcoming performance.

The firm is expected to sustain robust revenue growth as it fulfills contracts awarded in 2023 and the majority of 2024. Analysts point to stronger revenue recognition practices and a gradual capacity expansion at the Hongyuan yard in China as key contributors to improved profitability. These operational enhancements are seen as underpinning the upward revision of earnings estimates.

The combination of a high projected dividend yield, upgraded earnings forecasts, and a modest increase in target price positions Yangzijiang Shipbuilding as an appealing option for investors seeking exposure to the auto and transport sector’s shipbuilding segment. The anticipated capacity expansion at the Hongyuan yard may further support earnings growth through 2028, reinforcing the analysts’ “add” recommendation.
