Here’s more from KGI Fraser:

We would accumulate high yielding dividend stocks (>7%), notably Croesus Retail Trust ($0.805; BUY TP $0.91), Soilbuild Business Space REIT ($0.755; BUY TP $0.87) and Valuetronics ($0.40; BUY TP $0.67).

Among the banks, OCBC's ($8.4; BUY TP $10.0) 4% dividend yield and trough valuations (i.e. P/B) may offer some support as it trades at its 3 years lows.

In the O&M sector, Triyards' ($0.49; BUY TP $0.55) record order book and revenue visibility for the next two years places it in an excellent positioned to weather the oil market downturn unscathed.
