SCM was in no financial position to acquire any of the KOM businesses it planed to exit. This would have meant any deal would have hit shareholders one way or the other unless KOM was taking over. Not that this has been resilved. We left with a few positive outcomes 1) is the loss of a huge local competitor 2) A potential merger in future. As mentioned SCM cannot afford to buy Dev. Co. or Rig Co. so a possible solution is for TH to acquire, what' s left of KOM, the price tag of which has just become even smaller and then buy out minority shareholders of SCM, before they merge the two. |

I have never been optimistic about this merger. I never believed that it would happen after the 100-day review. I said a few times I am probably the odd ball here who doesn' t think the merger is necessary or good atm. Future maybe hard to say. Hence let nature take its course.

Merger is not needed now. We can expect a lot of business channel to SM and SM has the Tuas mega yard in place.

It is good to see Keppel move up rather than ALL compete for the downstream jobs. Huat ah!

I would say let nature take its course. Do not buy SMM just hoping that there is a merger. In fact it' s still my view should there be a merger today, it would have been disastrous to SMM SH.

This is a win-win situation for Singapore in the long run depends on which angle you look at. Just like nobody buy slippers, does not meant they do not need.  Meanwhile, a lot of ships are overdue for repair works.

I am not sure. I only see over exuberance optimism of this merger in this forum. The news stopped talking about it long ago, and even then they were just speculating SMM price move was due to that. If you buy a stock based on that kind of information, good luck is all I can say.

A merger of KOM and SMM has definitely not been ruled out.  It is still very much alive. Just that it may take longer. But the silver lining is that no time is being wasted as KC has already started streamlining KOM operations, removing the loss making arm. Meanwhile SMM should also be in the process of doing so. So when the merger eventually takes place, the merged entitiy will be up and running very quickly and make a very quick turnaround. Meanwhile the prospect of SMM winning some of the 10 contracts it has bidded, for would provide a  floor to SMM' s price.

I just checked their projects. SMM has only 2 ultra deep water drillship from their advance drilling rig solutions. And I think these 2 were from back in 2012 or 2014. Had been delayed multiple times, and are scheduled for delivery this year. Other than that, there is no more rigs projects. According to better, SMM has been moving away from rigs. I know China co is capable of doing at least semi-sub cat (and I think thanks to KC).

The merger news turned out to be a lose-lose situation? Both will tank when mkt opens?

Keppel Corp has already announced it will exit from its rig business. Sembcorp M waiting for merger for share price support is likely more impossible. No synergy & both are heavily loss making & more staff redundancy overhead costing if merge.

Quite true. The company will just I don' t know anything. Or perhaps we are negotiating but outcome is not guaranteed, which actually may send the price further up in good times. But SGD20m is not enough IMHO. The shortists will most likely double down. But let' s say SGD40m, and assuming 10k each, you need only 4000 people to do that. Or just one crazy wealthy believer. ![]() Dream on ...

SGX can ask all the questions they want but cannot prevent a Gamestop on SCM as there is nothing illegal about retail investors buying into a share. When they can permit corporates that don' t own the share to sell 160 million shares based on speculation they sure cannot stop genuine retail investors buying shares with money they have. But that said for a Gamestop moce on SCM the retail will need a capacity and will to buy $15-20 million worth of shares and hold forcing shorts to close  | ||||

Interesting to see how Sembmarine will react later. Will market buy the inorganic action that Keppel ceo mentioned. Or sell on the news that rig business is no longer good business  | ||||
