Singapore, Jan 7, 2026, 15:14 SGT — Regular session
- ST Engineering shares rose 1.8% in afternoon trade after its U.S. unit TransCore announced a new tolling back-office rollout in Delaware.
- Investors are looking for signs overseas service contracts can support steadier earnings ahead of the group’s full-year update window.
- A key macro catalyst this week is Friday’s U.S. jobs report, which could sway global risk appetite.
Shares of Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd (ST Engineering) climbed on Wednesday after its U.S. tolling unit TransCore announced a new system rollout for Delaware’s statewide toll operations — a back-office platform that handles toll transactions and customer accounts. ST Engineering was up 1.8% at S$8.84 by 3:08 p.m. Singapore time. 1
The update matters because TransCore sits within a business line that targets longer-dated public-sector and infrastructure work, which can bring recurring service revenue alongside ST Engineering’s aerospace and defence exposure. ST Engineering operates across Commercial Aerospace, Urban Solutions & Satcom, and Defence & Public Security, according to company profile information. 2
It also lands as investors look toward the group’s next major financial milestone. ST Engineering’s half-yearly results follow a “consistent schedule” and its second-half or full-year results are typically posted in February, the company says in its investor FAQ. 3
TransCore said Delaware’s Department of Transportation had “successfully gone live” with the latest generation of its Integrity back-office system and that it had already received system acceptance. Delaware Transportation Secretary Shanté Hastings said: “This upgrade improves the customer experience,” while TransCore CEO Whitt Hall called the platform “proven technology designed to meet the demands of tolling today.” 4
The move outpaced a flat broader market. The Straits Times Index was down about 0.01% in afternoon trade, ShareInvestor data showed. 5
On the numbers, analysts’ consensus remains constructive but tight after the stock’s recent run. MarketScreener data showed a mean “outperform” rating from 15 analysts, with an average target price of S$8.925 versus a last close of S$8.680. 6
But investors may hesitate to read too much into the headline: TransCore’s statement did not disclose contract value or financial impact, and large-scale public-sector technology rollouts can still face execution risk, change requests or slower-than-expected benefits.
