It is good to get the proposed merger settled once and for all.
I am cautious confident of overwhelming approval and am planning to buy more KC.
DYODD.  It is your money

Yes.  He fears he will be fully demolished.
Anyway there was a guy in the old SCM thread who was posting his daily buying of 40,000 SCM shares at very high prices and predicting that SCM will go to 40c.  Maybe he is the guy.  Poor chap.  Must have lost his pants

Agree.
These people are insidious.
They dare not back up with facts.  Only dare speculate and insinuate to the point of lying.  Only fools can agree with such baseless, factless speculations.
If they show facts, their speculations will be utterly demolished

These envious minority SHs speculated, without facts, that KC (KOM) won the $2.8B and $2.9B contracts based on bidding below costs. Laughable speculation. Does KOM appear like a company which goes after contracts that will end up losing money?  Does SCM Mgmt want to merge with such a company? Or does SCM Mgmt know better than these envious minority SHs?

Some SCM minority SHs are envious of KOM winning big contracts. This envy results from SCM not able to win good and big contracts.  KOM having $11+B contracts is a testimony of its good track record and confidence rig owners have in KOM.
Facts are:
1. 1H2022: KOM' s revenue was $503m, up 22% from 1H2021.  EBITA was positive
2. 1H2022: SCM lost $142,9m. FY 2021, loss $1.175B.  FY 2020 - Loss $587m. FY 2019 - Loss $137m
Rig owners dont trust given contracts to a builder which has been losing money over the years and facing problems like SCM.
KOM, bidding for contracts, bid under the solid umbrella of KC.   
Which builder, KOM or SCM has better credibility?
The above are facts which no minority SHs can deny |

China and Korea builders are formidable competitors.    If SCM or KOM think they can stand alone against Chinese or Korean yards, they have to reexamine themselves

China made huge breakthrus in ultra deep sea oil rigs. Just now flexing on CCTV as part of celebrations for their national day.

In the present competitive environment, to win contracts, past records and reputation are very important.
KC has been making money and giving good dividends. Its share price is rising meaning market has confidence in KC
SCM has been losing money over the last few years.  Its share price has hit historical lows.  Can such a company compete against KC, Korean and Chinese companies on the world stage?
