Chartered Semi At 2-Yr High On Rosy 2H Outlook, Upgrades
SINGAPORE (Dow Jones)--Shares of Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd., (C27.SG) the world's fourth-largest contract chipmaker by revenue, hit a two-year high Monday, boosted by analysts' rosy outlook on the second half following a set of better-than-expected first-quarter results last week.

At 0655 GMT, the company's shares were up 4.2% at S$1.73, after earlier touching a two-year high of S$1.74, taking their cue from a series of analysts' target price upgrades. The broader index was down 0.6%.

The stock closed 5.1% higher Friday.

Factoring in Friday's first-quarter results and positive outlook on the second half, several analysts have raised the stock's target price, with at least one brokerage upgrading its rating.

UBS, which is keeping its "buy" rating, increased its target price to S$2 from S$1.70. Merrill Lynch also raised its target to S$2 from S$1.60.

DBS Group Research upgraded the stock to a "buy" rating from a "hold," while raising its target price to S$1.92 from S$1.59.

Widening margins and an expanding product mix in the first and second quarters "support our turnaround thesis and position the company for significant earnings upside in the second half of 2006," Merrill Lynch research analyst Daniel Heyler said in a report Monday.

"Chartered has improved its efficiencies on core facilities while expanding its offerings at Fab 7 (plant)...This should enable the company to expand margins in the second half," he added.

He also noted that the company is likely to get a boost from a ramp-up in production for customers including International Business Machines Corp. (IBM) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).

The Singapore-based foundry, partly-owned by Temasek Holdings Pte. Ltd. (TEMAH.YY), Singapore's state-owned investment company, makes microprocessors for U.S. computer chip maker AMD. Also, together with IBM, Chartered Semi supplies the central processing unit chips for the Xbox 360 game console.

UBS said in a research note Friday that while the "diversification to AMD is positive...the actual order size remains uncertain."

Still, analysts believe that the AMD contract could prove to be as important as Chartered Semi's game console chip orders which helped to turn around the Singapore foundry's business.

The company Friday said it swung to a first-quarter net profit, beating analysts' expectations and its own guidance, due to steady demand for Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) Xbox360 game consoles amid a delay in the launch of Sony's Playstation3 game console.

For the three months ended March 31, Chartered Semi posted a net profit of $25.3 million, compared with a net loss of $84.5 million a year earlier.

Revenue almost doubled to $355.2 million from $181.4 million a year earlier.

Chartered Semi's second consecutive quarterly profit follows a string of losses last year due to factors including seasonal weakness and startup expenses for a new plant.

Analysts said the recovery, underpinned by a healthy pipeline of orders for chips used in electronic gadgets, is likely to be sustained in 2006 - helping Chartered to swing to a full year profit.

The company said it expects second-quarter net income of $11 million - $21 million and revenue of $359 million - $367 million.

Merrill Lynch expects the company to post a 2006 full-year net profit of $180.82 million, and has projected it to be profitable over the next three fiscal years. Last year it posted a net loss of $159.6 million.

In an interview with Dow Jones Newswires Friday, Chief Executive Chia Song Hwee said he expects a positive second half for the semiconductor industry, dismissing concerns of a possible slowdown in demand for chips.

"The second half looks quite positive, given a good first quarter and as most of the large semiconductor companies are guiding a positive second quarter," he said.
