I wonder is he is still on daily buying programme but din post here now. Looking back, he oso now suffer alot of losses too, so spare him lar. That time, i was a negative supporter of SCM as I dun think the counter can stand alone, but now reversed liaow, become supporter mainly due to the believe that the combined entity can do it plus TH won' t allow this counter to be gone, but I may be wrong about it as you can see the price keep dropping and majority of pp do not have confident in this counter anymore, not wrong too. I believe everyone of us got his own belief, no right no wrong. Just because I support this counter now does not mean I will bash anyone who is negative about this. Is a free forum. I still remember in the past alot of pp bash me here because I am negative about this counter. Har, time changes and time proof who make the right decision, if lose money so be it lor although is painful, but remember you make your own decision hor, dun blame others when losing money, remember DYODD.

SCM is a design and engineering firm for marine industry and I think the future is whether they can move away from oil and gas to high value innovation. Need the right people in chsrge | ||||

Above $80 may not be likely. OPEC+ does not want the shale producers to drill with no restraint again. The outcome of the OPEC+ meeting will be out soon. A merger is not helpful as SMM already has excess capacity, and the economies of scale and after restructuring are likely insufficient to make SMM as cost competitive as Korea or China as the labor costs there are cheaper (10-25%), they have domestic natural resources (e.g. steel) already, and the Chinese yards have orders from CCP for military vessels and SOEs for commercial ones while the Korean yards have govt subsidies etc. SMM does not have govt support like that, so it cannot fight on equal footing. If SMM is to be competitive, it needs to resort to offering flexi payment and credit, but this would require TH backing (bonds?) (otherwise there would be endless rounds of rights offerings that would drain ALL SH). I think Chagatai' s assessment of the current industry is most accurate. Demand (if any) likely comes from: (i) Countries seeking cheap oil/gas from their own marine deposits, and they can ill-afford to import at high oil prices. (ii) Countries seeking energy independence (iii) Countries that want to sell off their oil and gas supplies asap before peak demand. (iv) Countries that are desperate to fund their national budgets and/or shore up their reserves Hence, the countries are likely to accept low bid prices for companies to drill. Currently, many of such countries are in financial crisis and debt. Demand may also come from: (i) Deepwater drilling. The two ultradeep drillships for Transocean (Atlas/Titan) should have breakeven costs of about $35 when they are deployed to GoM. This is quite competitive against shale and OPEC prices. (ii) Large oil deposits that are cheap to drill (Namibia, South Africa, Guyana and Suriname). These African deposits are the latest craze and it seems that drilling investments there stand to be stably profitable for an extremely long period.

The offshore marine industry is not about oil or oil prices anymore. It is about renewables and or LNG conversions. Oil prices are immaterial. The profit margins are no longer spectacular either for renewables or carbon based fuels | ||||

Peak oil in a decade or so will be 110 MMB per day. Prior Covid in 2019 it was 99MMB per day. I start building rigs now for peak oil to bite me in 2032. Most tankers, RORO, Cruise ships, Container Carriers tug boats what have not are converting from bunker carbon based fuels to LNG and Hydrogen fuel cell cleaner or zero carbon emissions. I seen them converting at break beck pace as the 0.05% Sulphur rule kicked in months ago. It is a forced Transition. It Will happen just like public telephones disappeared from public. | ||||

This share reminds me of LionGold back in 2015/2016- everyone who owned it justified why it should go or be higher but it just keep dropping and dropping and dropping - best to avoid - cut losses and buy a different company. | ||||

When oil prices go up, E&P upstream costs also go up. Day rates charter rates For OSV equipment repairs maintenance and charters all go up. Wages too. Companies like Rex Will try best to mitigate costs. For E&P sell oil in the ground they get 2 bucks a barrel, 3 at most at today?s prices. It takes 3 years to build a rig and 2 years plus to do FPSO, FSU, FSRU etc conversions. Profit margins are thin THIN. Outsourced fabrication works steel and all material prices also increase when crude oil prices increase. | ||||

But where do you see demand-side coming from? Planes are not flying and cars are going EV. Even if it goes back above $80, it' s just an arbitrary number with no sustainable consumption. My take is that the merger will streamline some deadweight and syngeries the efficiencies from cost savings, but whether that will lead to meaningful ROE improvement remains a key challenge.  Happy to hear other opinions.

Crude oil price up and maintained at that high level will drive up more rig projects and oil related projects

Right now. crude above USD 75 and Brent has crossed USD 76. Goldman Sach' s target price is USD 80. Getting closer and seems could hit during q3 as GS had predicted. Not sure yet but could eventually have a beneficial impact on SMM and SMM+Keppel. See if SMM can announce more contracts secured while waiting for the rights issue. |

Got fresh article to read from " The Diplomat" titled: " The (Probable) Merger of Singapore' s Sembcorp Marine and Keppel Offshore and Marine, Explained" by Mr James Guild. Can google and read if anybody here wishes to.

TH must tread carefully afterall it has to report its revenue to govt of the day. causing losses to public shareholders will perhaps cause a backlash, think again how TH must ensure all are happy yet SMM is sustainable, DYODD as a singaporean | ||||

Totally agree.  For others if you think TH will make u a good offer, think again. If O& G future does rebound, they take the company private and you will be luck to walk away with some crumbs  if O& G future remains bleak, they let the co bleed and salvage themselves. Afterall they have shake out SCI & KEP for the long haul  My take..  tbh SMM is no longer significant in my portfolio hence I leave it there as a reminder not to fall into this situation ever again.
