FY2016 Outlook


The global downturn in the oil and gas sector and competition in the Singapore power market is expected to continue in 2016. With sound strategies and strong capabilities, the Group is committed to creating and delivering long-term value and growth.

Currently , Sembcorp Industries is trading at $2.53 which is about PE 8.66 times. Price is fairly on the high side as compare to Keppel Corp of PE 6.19 times ( EPS $0.84) at $5.20.

Dividend of 11 cents which translate to a yield of 4+% seems fairly decent.

From TA point of view it is on a Reversal trend as the current price of $2.53 is hovering above both 14SMA & 25SMA lines which is generally quite positive.



Also both MACD & RSI are trending higher which may provide further indication that the share price may continue to head higher.

Breaking out of $2.65 with good volume that may propel to drive the share price higher towards $2.90.
Short term TP of $2.90 which is pegged at PE 9.9 times seem quite possible.
