When a company with Revenue of $55 283 000 is able to generate huge Gross Profit of $39 157 000, I have no confidence to buy their product. The product cost is too miniscule.

if the income of member only depend on the down line he can bring in, but not goods he sell then it is considered pyramid.

The loophole is, MLM company will sell overpriced goods to disguise. If you have friends in Nuskin, Herbalife, etc, you know what I mean.

The 2 co-founders seem to have control over most of the shares:

Best World said Dora Hoan, one of its founders and group chief executive officer, has bought 200,000 of the company' s shares for S$239,000 in the open market. The purchase boosted her direct stake in the company to 5.66 per cent, from 5.61 per cent previously. As a result, her total interest now stands at 40.73 per cent, up from 40.69 per cent previously.

On the same day, co-founder and president, Doreen Tan, also bought 200,000 shares at S$237,750, boosting her direct interest in the company to 5.65 per cent, from 5.61 per cent. Including her deemed interest, her total interest in Best World is now at 40.73 per cent, up from 40.69 per cent.

Singapore' s Ezion suspends shares, seeks restructuring

SINGAPORE, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Singapore-based oil services company Ezion Holdings said trading in its shares would be suspended temporarily as it is in talks with stakeholders such as bank lenders and creditors about its financing and capitalisation structure.

Triyards Holdings: Tough Times

Poor 3QFY17 Amidst Challenging Period



It has been a challenging period for Triyards Holdings, despite starting its product diversification efforts a few years ago. Oil prices are still hovering around the US$50/bbl level, and demand for offshore oil and gas activities remains weak, resulting in an extremely competitive market for industry players. The group has actually been profitable every quarter since listing in 2012, except for the past two quarters which saw net loss of US$6.3m in 2QFY17 and net loss of US$63.3m in 3QFY17 (dragged by significant impairments).

In 3QFY17, the group had a gross loss due to
  1. lower revenue in the quarter, affected by the delay in delivery of two MPSVs on owners&rsquo requests,
  2. cost overruns for the chemical tankers project, and
  3. compressed margins under a competitive environment.


Management is seeking recourse from parties for the chemical tankers project, in the hope of some compensation subsequently. For the US$45.1m allowance for asset impairment, the Houston properties accounted for a part of it, with some also from the reassessment of carrying value of certain assets which were acquired or developed previously for the O& G industry. The group&rsquo s net order book stands at about US$140-160m, and this excludes the two liftboats for Ezion that are unlikely to continue beyond the initial engineering stage.

Low New Order Flow



Looking ahead, in the absence of a positive catalytic industry development, management expects the next twelve months to be a challenging period for the industry and also the group. In the event that any material changes occur in relation to any of the existing banking facilities of the group, management will review and assess its ability to continue as a going concern.

Meanwhile, concerns remain over
  1. any impact from Ezra,
  2. possibility of further write-downs,
  3. low new order flow, and
  4. the tight credit situation in general.


With a reallocation of resources, we are ceasing coverage on the stock.

GLP' s CEO has such grand plans for the company to conquer the world once it' s delisted. Wonder why this grand plan is not on the table while GIC is the top shareholder:

GLP to delist from SGX after privatisation deal

Nesta eyes expanding GLP' s platform to new markets.
The Global Logistics Properties is planning to delist from Singapore Exchange following a privatisation deal led by Nesta Investment Holdings.
" Nesta Investment Holdings &ndash a vehicle jointly owned by SMG held by GLP CEO Ming Z. Mei, HOPU, Hillhouse Capital, Bank of China Group Investment and Vanke Group &ndash intends to work with GLP to expand its platform in existing and new markets," the report said.


In a statement, Nesta said it will be able to strengthen GLP Group&rsquo s global leadership position by creating a logistics ecosystem that utilises the latest technology and data to provide solutions for GLP Group&rsquo s customers.

More so, the investment firm said it will actively build upon GLP Group&rsquo s fund management platform in existing and new markets and extending partnerships with leading global institutional investors. Such growth initiatives may include establishing a new China income fund, continuing to sell assets to the J-REIT and potentially expanding into Europe.

Wonder why DBS keeps trumpeting this counter nonstop:
Sembcorp' s marine business orderbook to hit $2b



This would be a recovery from last year' s $320m.

Sembcorp' s marine business should overcome rough seas this year as it is expected to rebound from the dismal new orders it had last year.

According to DBS Group Research, the group managed to record only $320m worth of new orders last year. This year, the value of new orders is expected to hit around $2b.

And over the past 2 years, DBS continues to broadcast " potential merger  between Keppel&rsquo s O& M arm and SMM" just like a broken record player that refuses to stop tuurning:

" Since Aug-2015, we have flagged the potential merger between Keppel&rsquo s O& M arm and SMM during the structural downturn. The spin-off of its marine arm could re-rate SCI&rsquo s undervalued utilities business that is currently overshadowed by the weak marine outlook. We believe in the long-term growth prospects of SCI&rsquo s utilities arm, which has expanded its global footprint and recently made forays into key emerging markets &ndash India, Bangladesh and Myanmar."

I personally feel that most forumers in stock forums (not only in SG but everywhere in the world) are momentum traders so talking about a company' s fundamentals in such forums is really irrelevant to most here. The only thing relevant is how to ride the multpile waves to reap maximum profits.
Just look at the Noble Group thread -- all the constant negative publicity, news, analyst reports etc over the past 2 years resulted in even more " investors" and forumers in the thread. 

Conversely, look at the threads for stable blue chips such as OCBC, UOB etc whose company fundamentals are impeccable -- those threads are practically ghost towns with cobwebs all over.

Quote correctly mah.
Pp say EPS negative, you say shd use FCF.
I give u FCF mah. Negative also.
Then u say cash flow is not negative, but audited financials show negative also leh.
Then now u say cash flow from operating activities only...
IC. Keep changing leh, i confused already, so thats probably why i didint digest properly lah!!!

Extracted from the quoted papaer at aspire.sharesinv.com:
APTT has reported positive cash flow from operating activities consistently every year. However, if we were to take capital expenditure as well as interest costs paid into consideration, the available free cash flow will not be sufficient to cover the distribution to unitholders. 
Just take note!!! --> The big CAPEX is an one-time event, it ends after 2018. After that, NO big CAPEX is needed at least for the short-to-mid term.
Pls make sure you digest the content before you quote

OCBC' s Q2 profit up 22% to S$1.08b

An interim dividend of 18 Singapore cents per share has been declared for the first half of 2017, unchanged from the 18-cent interim dividend declared a year ago.

OCBC on Thursday posted a 22 per cent increase in its second-quarter net profit to S$1.08 billion, from S$885 million a year ago.

The group attributed this to strong year-on-year performance by its banking, wealth management and insurance operations - driven by growth in net interest income, fees and commissions, net trading income and profit from life assurance.

Net interest income rose 7 per cent to S$1.35 billion in the second quarter ended June 30, 2017, from S$1.26 billion a year ago, due mainly to strong lending growth across the group' s corporate and consumer businesses, said OCBC.

Customer loans grew 11 per cent from the previous year to S$229 billion, led by broad-based growth across most industry segments and key markets.

Net interest margin (NIM) for the quarter was 1.65 per cent, marginally lower than last year' s 1.68 per cent, primarily on a fall in loan yields, which was partly offset by higher gapping income and a drop in funding costs.

Broker' s take: Daiwa issues ' buy' call on NetLink NBN Trust



A " BUY" call has been placed on NetLink NBN Trust with a target price of S$0.970 by Daiwa Capital Markets. The stock fell half a Singapore cent, or 0.62 per cent, to an intraday price of S$0.805 on Thursday.

In an analyst report on Thursday, Daiwa said that the primary appeal for investors in the fibre network firm lies in the diversification benefits that it brings to a portfolio, due to its unique attributes: good quality assets with strong competitive advantages a predictable return regime and attractive risk-adjusted distributions relative to other " defensive" stocks.

" Its underlying assets appear competitively well positioned for the delivery of fibre broadband services due to their extensive network reach, including a monopoly in some areas. As such, we expect NetLink to gain market share in both residential and corporate markets by capitalising on two trends: customer migration from legacy to fibre broadband and the entry of a new service provider, TPG Telecom." http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/stocks/brokers-take-daiwa-issues-buy-call-on-netlink-nbn-trust
