Anti-competition objection
In March 2019,  Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI)  signed an estimated U$1.7B agreement with the state-run Korea Development Bank to buy its smaller rival  Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering (DSME). Following the deal, HHI and DSME will have a combined backlog in very large crude carriers (VLCCs) and LNG carriers accounting for more than 60 percent of the world total.
 
Due to the monopolistic status, the deal will need to get approval from fair trade authorities in European Union (EU), Japan, China, Singapore and Kazakhstan since these countries have shipping companies which are HHI and DSME&rsquo s biggest customers. One year has passed, the merger plan is still under review by the authorities in five countries. So far, only Kazakhstan has approved it.
 
 
Earlier in 2018, Japan had already lodged a complaint with the World trade Organization (WTO), claiming that Korean government has provide unfair financial support to Korean shipbuilders. South Korean and Japan held talks on the merger on 30 March 2020 but failed to iron out their differences.
 
Singapore regulators also said the deal between HHI and DSME threatens to remove competition in the supply of LNG carriers, container ships and oil tankers to Singapore customers. In turn, it will also create high barriers to entry for new players specifically with regards to LNG carriers.
 
It was reported last month that EU antitrust regulators have suspended their probe into the merger of the two South Korean firms until further notice, waiting for more information to be provided by the companies. Early last year, EU also rejected the transport rail services merger between two giants Siemens and Alstom citing concerns of competition fairness which may lead to higher prices for the passengers.
 
In view of the extreme difficulty to get approval from fair trade authorities, a possible merger between KOM and SCM, the world&rsquo s two largest rig builders will definitely face the same scrutiny and resistance from anti-trust watchdogs.

same sentiment, initially was worried about their short term debt but after reading following feel its ok. https://www.bondsupermart.com/bsm/article-detail/sembcorp-industries-ltd-credit-update-9-apr-20-RCMS_207240   Credit highlightsAs at 31 Dec 19, Sembcorp&rsquo s total debt load stood at S$10.8 billion, up slightly from S$10.7 billion as at 4Q18. Meanwhile, cash fell to S$1.8 billion from S$1.9 billion over the same period. Gross net gearing (net debt/ equity) climbed to 1.2x, up from 1.1x as at 4Q18. Including S$801m of perpetual securities as debt, adjusted net gearing would have risen to a high level of 1.4x. Short term obligations amounted to S$2.6 billion, of which S$674m are secured against net assets and stakes of its subsidiaries, property, plant and equipment and other assets. The cash balance of S$1.8 billion is insufficient to cover short term debt even if we assumed that the secured portion of S$674m can be refinanced. Included in the short term debt are S$1.4 billion undertaken by SCM. Per SCI, its marine subsidiary is working with lenders to refinance a loan that would lead to a change in its debt maturity profile. In addition, the group disclosed that it has at least S$1.0 billion in committed revolving credit facilities with final maturity dates beyond 2022 that can be drawn down to boost liquidity. In the longer term beyond one year, we see a manageable debt maturity profile with most of its debt coming due only in 4 to 5 years&rsquo time (see Figure 1). Figure 1: SCI&rsquo s debt maturity profile as at 31 Dec 19

Why not, If Dow Jones decides to undergo a major 10%-15% correction which could be underway and is overdue (NASDAQ much more so) anyway, $1.80 could be reached.

If $1.80, I will buy more. That's at least 20% returns come September. But, will we have the chance for $1.80 again? Unlikely. (But in stock market, anything is possible). I won't say a 100% impossible. I will just press the buy button if it does happen. Buying into future renewal energy business. Will get the rewards eventually. Dyodd.

Just share my story on SCI: I bought in Jan this year when those share buyback by SCI at about $2.20 to $2.35 happened. They bought quite some shares back. I also bought in at $2.20, $2.12, $2.04. Then with the virus situation and SCM dragging it down due to low oil prices and profits warning by SCI, prices kept declining down, week after week, to only stabilised at $1.50++. I bought some again at $1 54. Then come MSCI index issue, it dropped to a low of $1.36. My heart sanked. Imagine buying from a high of $2.20 to a low of $1.54 and the share price left $1.36, for a Temasek owed STI blue chip. That feelings really sucked big time. But I kept reviewing the NAV and PB of the counter and it is stated NAV at about $3.50 and trading at only about less than 0.4 times its Book Value. So I convinced myself everything will be fine eventually, and company will keep it's words to diversify or find a way out for its loss making SCM to unlock value back to shareholders. The most happy day came this Tuesday when it finally got "unlocked" and went above $2.00. I was so relieved that I waited and hold to it, never give up or cut my loss. One reason being I am supportive of SCI renewable energy sector and seeing the projects it signed with SIA, PUB and it's involvement in other countries such as India, Myanmar etc. This counter can only gets stronger into the future, especially now with SCM demerged. The company didn't play us out, it offer us 4200 to 4900 shares for every 1000 shares we bought. That will be the value unlocked and rewarded to us. We still continue to owe a piece of the pie in SCI with its profit making Renewable energy and urban development businesses. In the future, will it become better and stronger? To me, definitely. At current price tag of $2.00 (still with Free SCM shares), you make your assessment to buy or to sell. My decision is clear, it is undervalued. Be it now or for its future profitable businesses. There's a lot of potential for renewable energy in Singapore and in many asian countries for SCI to cooperate with. That's my two cents sharing. I will keep adding if the price go back down. Anything below $2.00 is reasonable cheap to me now. Anything below $1.90 is to add more. Below $1.80 is Lelong prices. Dyodd. All the best. Renewable energy is the new future. | ||||

human behavior...fear and greed...when SCI was dumped out of MSCI everyone said lousy and nobody bought at 1.36 to 1.40...i do concur that nobody knew GF death would shut DT mouth up and caused a bull run indirectly though
