Repost a good write-up from another shareholder.
Quote
Quote 1:  Referring to the historic financial report, Bani explained that the revenue target of USD 1 billion was realistic. &ldquo Earlier data explained that there would be  higher financial growth in the second half, compared to the first half,&rdquo he said.  Bani explained that Samudera enjoyed high demand from any shipping sector, including container shipping, dry bulk, and liquid bulk.
Quote 2: 12 month Outlook. Freight rates are expected to remain higher than pre-pandemic levels due to  the lag in container vessel supply to meet demand.
I am still holding some shares of Samudera Shipping, and I have been  interested to bridge the Bani optimism of the 2H to the current gloomy global shipping index (Drewry, SCFI).    Though management has guided that the freight rates  are  well supported by the contracted rates, I cannot help feeling apprehensive on the  spot rates for the regional markets that it operates, have these correct sharply  (after-all the spot rates  will have some influence over the contracted rates upon contracts renewal).

Regional liner trades are being squeezed further  (with the impact of higher freight rates on consumer prices now five times stronger)  in many less well connected countries.
Despite a year-on-year cellular fleet growth of 3.8% as of August 1, three trades have shown a significant reduction over the past 12 months, according to Alphaliner. The intra-Europe trade was the worst hit as the total capacity of cellular ships deployed in dedicated intra-European services was down 14.2% on August 1 compared to last year.
The two other regions with a reduced offering are  intra-Asia services, down by 10.3%, and all Africa-related services, which are down by 4.3% year-on-year, according to data from Alphaliner.
The ongoing shift of tonnage to the bigger tradelanes  was hurting smaller and developing countries.

Healthy freight rates for shipments to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia  have convinced South Korean intra-Asia carrier Namsung Shipping to order more containerships to meet  the rising demand.
Namsung confirmed to The Loadstar today it had ordered a pair of 2,500 teu ships fitted with scrubbers from compatriot shipbuilder Hyundai Mipo Dockyard, costing $43m each.
Currently, freight rates for shipments from South Korea to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia are averaging between $1,100 and $1,200 for a 20ft container &ndash   a nine-fold increase on pre-Covid levels.
Somehow, I felt more at ease after reading, having the impression that the South East Asia feeder  markets (consists of about 75% revenue) current supply conditions is still  favourable to the demand, as such the spot rates do  not face the same sharp  correction as the global freights (For NOW)

CEO is very quick to re-invest div. Other big shareholders may do the same. The share seems well supported at $1 at the moment

The CEO bought another 49,000 shares at $1.02 yesterday.
Another big drop in rates this week. Peak shipping rates is over. Don't be caught holding the stock at peak. Remember shipping is cyclical stock. If you get caught, you have to wait till the next cycle to cash out.

Heading down towards $0.94.... Be Cautious...
Also be careful of some app chat asking people to buy. This group is doing P& D tactics. Think they are stuck with the counter and desperately want to get out and sell. Retailer investors don' t get caught with this tactics. A safe buy will be near support level at around $0.95.

Support level at $0.95. Now trading at $1.02 and no strength. Likely to retract back to $0.9x before finding the next support level. 
 
 
Your glass is half empty, mine is half full. Happy investing 👍

People re-investing div. Smart
The CEO going to give himself fat dividend. So he better accumulate more when the price is still dirt cheap. For those still haven't vested. Don't miss the price opportunity.
