ST Engineering

Mainboard-listed ST Engineering will be reorganised into two main clusters from next year - commercial, and defence & public security. They replace the sector structure of aerospace, electronics, land systems and marine.

ST Engineering said in a bourse filing on Tuesday that it will position the group for its next phase of growth, and propel it towards becoming a global technology, defence and engineering powerhouse.

It said in a business update yesterday that it expects full-year revenue to be around 10 per cent lower for FY2020 than in FY2019. As at September, its order book stood at $15.8 billion.

Its business has two core segments, namely, the financial institution data business and the non-financial institution data business, covering both consumer and commercial credit risk information.
