Anyone has thoughts on SIA or palm related stocks?

Been using SGX stock screener for a couple of years, and SIA had never landed in my filtered results. Looking at its financial, it got sieved out by one or more of these

• low profit margin: was 8.5% at best in past 5 years
• low return on equity
• higher than average debt equity

Its a capital intensive business, highly cyclical and low margin... Difficult for me to justify holding it vs a lot of other stocks. I would be interested to compare, but I think even SBS would have a better 5 year average net margin.

For palm, I assume you mean palm oil and related. Some of those did turn up in my screening but I deliberately avoid them because
a) none of them has a Governance Transparency score more than 70
b) I am convinced they are involved in the haze we experience periodically so I just avoid them.
