A typical short rebound that is unable to hold as it has again came falling down after touching above $1.00.
Current price of 90.5 cents is looking rather shaky and may likely move down to retest 89 cents.

Breaking down would be super Bearish and may likely see the price going further down towards 80 with extension to 75.

Not a call to buy or sell.
Pls dyodd.

8th June 2018
A nice rebound has taken place after hitting the low of 90 cents and rises to touch $1.04.
It has since taking a breather and it may likely retest the critical level at 1.00.

Breaking down of $1.00 would be rather bearish and may likely see further selling down pressure.
Immediate resistance is at 1.04 and the next resistance level is at 1.08.
The support would be at 95.5 follow-by 90 cents.

Dow jumps more than 300 points after banks rebound; small caps hit new record.

The company bought back 5m share at 90-91.5 cents, looks like we may see a strong rebound today especially with Dow gaining 300+ points overnight.

• The Dow Jones industrial average rose more than 300 points, with Boeing, Chevron and Home Depot leading the blue-chip stocks higher. The Russell 2000 hit a new high.

• Crude oil futures settled higher Wednesday, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) up $1.48, or 2.22 percent. (Cnbc.com)

Chart wise, we have witnessed the price Gap down from 95 cents to touch the low of 90 cents . It has manage to bounce-off from this level and closed higher at 92.5 cents .



Looks like we are seeing a hammer shape candlestick bar is appearing on the chart, seem like bull is able to take control of the situation.

Short term wise, we may likely see a reversal play taking place it it is able to overcome 97.5 cents and rises back to $1.00 and above .

Not a call to buy or sell.

AIMSAMP Cap Reit

NAV of $1.3725

DPU for FY 2018 is about 10.3 cents , down 6.8% as compared to last year 11.05 cents.

Gearing is about 38% which is staying within the acceptable level of below 45%.

The DPU for FY2018 was lower compared to FY2017 partly due to the increase in Units arising from the private placement of 42,145,000 Units in December 2017. Excluding the effects from the private placement, DPU for 4Q FY2018 and FY2018 would be approximately 2.75 cents and 10.46 cents respectively. 

The placement share was being offered at $1.305 per share. Representing a 6.9% discount for the market traded share price of $1.405 as in Nov 2017. 

Yield is pretty good at the current price of $1.38 which is 7.46% based on DPU of 10.3 cents.

Gross revenue is slightly lowered in FY 2018 of 116.9m versus 120m in FY2017. A decreased of 2.7%. 

Net Property Income came in slightly lowered in FY2018 of 76.4m versus 79.4m in FY2017. A decreased on 3.8%.

Looking through their past DPU for the past five years, we can notice that the DPU had been fluctuating from 10.3 to 11.4 cents. Giving a average yield of 10.8 cents.

Comparing to previous year, DPU seems to be declining slightly . Hopefully, it will stay within the current range . 

I think investor may want to monitor to see what would be the coming quarter result to determine the DPU to be declared for April - June period to see if DPU can staying withing the range of 10.3 to 11 cents.

TA wise, seems like it is being traded in a consolidated mode. Nothing to shout about!

The support level is at 1.35.

It would be good if it can re-conquer 1.42 price level with ease and rises towards $1.45 level.

Not a call to buy or sell.

DBS Bank

Downtrend prevail!
Looks like it may likely breaking down the recent low of $26.31 and slide down towards $26.00 which is also coincide with it's 200 days moving average.

Failing to hold on to this support level would be super Bearish!
I think
price could  see further selling down pressure and continue to slide down towards 25.00 then 24.50 and below .

14 June 2018
TA wise Looks rather bearish !
It has broken down 100 days moving average and continue to slide further down with high volume.

Short term wise, I think it may continue to go down to revisit 26.28 then $24.95 with extension to 24.38.

Not a call to buy or sell.

I think similar chart patterns are also reflected on the other 2 local bank counters.

Please do your own due diligence.

The 3 local bank counters are having quite similar chart patterns as shown on the daily candlestick chart patterns.

All 3 counter current price are trading below its 20, 50 & 100 days Moving average.
Looks rather bearish!

OCBC Bank:

It has experienced a Gap down on 30th May 2018 from the previous closing price of $12.99 to touch the low of $12.51 before manage to close slightly higher at $12.66 price level.

The current price of $12.53 is staying slightly above its 200 days moving average at about $12.36 level. Breaking down of $12.36 level , it would be super bearish and may likely continue to slide down to test $12.25 then $11.90 with extension to $11.40.

DBS :

Similarly for DBS , it is having a Gap down scenario on 30th May 2018 whereby the price went down to touch the low of $28.140 before closing slightly higher at $28.23 level as compare to previous day  closing price of $29.15 level.

Looks rather bearish and it may continue to go lower to test $28.14 then $$27.60 with extension to $26.30.

UOB:

It has gone down to touch the low of $28.16 before closing slightly higher at $28.36 price level as compare to the previous day closing price of $29.29 .

This is rather bearish and the price may likely to go lower to test $28.00 then $27.45 with extension to $26.00.

Reply to @AllenYip : The answer is simple. Fund managers pushing up bank stocks or any stock prices are not here for charity. They would not wait for ordinary investors to take profit before them. As bank stocks reached few 52-week highs, it was natural to take profit thereby causing corrections. Besides, there are too many uncertainties/volatility this year. It is wise to take money off the table. With nice capital gains & dividend, why shouldn't they take profit? Furthermore, the reporting season for banks is over. Wait till the next reporting season, the games will repeat again..

SGX

I am waiting for it to go down to revisit $7.00 but seems like market doens't want it to come down!

Have been monitoring this counter seeing it sliding down from a high of $8.50 to a low of $7.07.
Dividend of 28 cents for the past five years, yield of 4% would be nice to have if price is trading at $7.00 and below.

Let's see if market will bring it down to $7.00 again!
I think patience is needed for the right price to appear.

From TA point of view, it is still on a downtrend mode .

The current price of 7.17 is trading below its 20, 50, 100 & 200 days moving average, this is rather bearish.

I think price may likely move up to retest 7.23 level which is also the 20 days moving average.
Reclaiming of this 20MA and staying above would be quite positive.

Failing which, it may continue to retest the recent low of 7.05. Breaking down of 7.05 with high volume that may continue to see the price sliding down towards 7.00 then 6.80 level.

This counter is currently under my watchlist.
I am thinking to slowly accumulate if price goes below $7.00.
I think value is creeping up with a yield of 4% which is quite good for a nice dividend income.
It might be a good idea for me to use DCA .
I think overtime, this counter would still be around as it is the only Stock exchange authority for the local market.

NAV of 0.949.
Trailing EPS of 34.1 cents.
I think PE is about 21x.

Not a call to buy or sell.

SingTel

Looks like we may see a replay of the same chart patterns being happened in 2012.
The price was being pushed down near closing yesterday to close lower than previous low of 3.10.

We may likely see the price moving up to reclaim $3.10 level and rises higher from the current level.
Yield is getting attractive now!
Please dyodd.


Are you loosing sleep with your SingTel invested share price keep heading lower?
The whole telco industry sector has been overly punished with the incoming of the 4th operator that may begin its operation on Dec 2018.

I think market has overly reacted and the price has been driven into oversold territories.

I think wise income investor may view this as a golden opportunity to slowly accumulate.

Plus point:

I think SingTel has a stronger balance sheet, stronger free cash flow and it pays out a fraction of its earnings as dividends to shareholders.

If the price on a good investment goes lower, I think it is presenting a good value .

Current price trading at $3.12 , Yield at 5.6% base on annual dividend of 17.5 cents. 

It is looking rather attractive..

Not a call to buy or sell.

23rd May 2018
SingTel - Chart wise, it is rather weak and may likely continue to trend lower.
The current price of $3.34 is staying below its 20,50,100 & 200 days moving average. This is rather bearish.

Short term wise, I think it may likely move down to retest the recent low of 3.30.


Breaking down of 3.30 with high volume that would be super bearish and may likely see it slide further down towards 3.19 with extension to 3.08.

Not a call to buy or sell.

Please do your own due diligence.



18 May 2018 - long time didn't see company buying back share ! Looks positive!

Singtel posts record full-year earnings on NetLink Trust divestment and strong core business 

Financial year ended 31 March 2018




 Record net profit of S$5.45 billion, including divestment gains from NetLink Trust  Operating revenue up 5% to S$17.53 billion

 Strong core and digital businesses drive growth




 Free cash flow up 18% to S$3.61 billion on strong operating cash flow

 Q4 revenue stable and net profit down 19% on weaker associates’ earnings

 Proposed final dividend per share of 10.7 cents; total dividend per share of 17.5 cents

DIVIDENDS

The Board is recommending a final ordinary dividend per share of 10.7 cents, bringing the total ordinary dividend per share for the year to 17.5 cents, representing a payout of approximately S$2.86 billion.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Group expects to maintain its ordinary dividends of 17.5 cents per share for the next two financial years and thereafter, will revert to the payout of between 60% and 75% of underlying net profit.

“These results reflect the strong execution of our digital transformation strategy in both our core and new digital businesses. Optus gained market share in Australia underscoring its network and content strategy while our ICT and digital businesses now account for 24% of revenue, with digital marketing arm Amobee achieving growth and positive EBITDA for the year,” said Ms Chua Sock Koong, Singtel Group CEO. “We remain focused on what is important to both our consumer and enterprise customers – premium mobile networks, secure high-speed connectivity, innovative products and services, and excellent customer service. Besides strengthening our competitiveness, this allows us to deliver even greater value to customers.”




 Across the region, all of the Group’s regional associates continued to drive growth in data. However, Airtel’s results were impacted by intense competition with very aggressive pricing led by a new player and further aggravated by mandated cuts in mobile termination rates in India. This is despite recording its highest quarterly net customer adds and strong data usage growth in India, and continued positive growth momentum in Africa. Last month, Airtel announced the merger of Indus Towers and Bharti Infratel to create the largest tower company in the world outside of China, subject to regulatory and shareholder approvals. Telkomsel’s earnings were impacted by the decline in legacy services and heightened price competition particularly during the SIM card registration implementation. Profit contributions from AIS grew on revenue improvement and cost management. Globe also delivered strong earnings growth due to robust data revenue growth and cost control.

Competition remains intense in India but the right regulatory policies and sector consolidation should lead to a more stable market structure in the mid term. In Indonesia, Telkomsel Singapore Telecommunications Limited 2 of 8 Company registration number: 199201624D continues to expand its network to create significant capacity and grow its digital business.

 To forge new areas of growth, we are accelerating collaborations with our regional associates to build an ecosystem of digital services by leveraging the Group’s strengths and customer base across 21 countries.” Recently announced initiatives include a cross-border payments service to connect the Group’s telco wallets in Asia, and strategic partnerships in the areas of e-payments, e-sports and sports content. The Group’s cash position remains strong.

Free cash flow for the full year rose 18% to S$3.61 billion, and for the quarter grew 5% to S$800 million.




GROUP CONSUMER

 In Australia, Optus gained market share as it successfully differentiated itself through its network and content strategy. For the full year, it added a total of 384,000 new mobile customers and 225,000 new NBN broadband customers.

Revenue grew 3% in the quarter as higher equipment sales and strong customer growth offset lower NBN migration revenues due to NBN’s temporary suspension order while EBITDA declined 5%. Excluding NBN migration revenues, revenue would have grown 6% and EBITDA increased 3%. Mobile service revenue grew 1%, impacted by higher service credits. Postpaid ARPU was affected by an increased mix of SIM-only plans, higher device repayment credits and data price competition. Mass market fixed revenues excluding NBN migration revenues increased 6%.

In Singapore, for the quarter, consumer revenue was down 4% and EBITDA declined 14%. Mobile communications revenue was impacted by voice to data substitution, declines in roaming services and a higher mix of SIM-only plans.

The launch of premium handsets presented an opportunity to increase customer recontracting numbers, strengthen customer relationships and reduce churn. Around 18% of new and recontracting postpaid customers signed up for SIM-only plans during the quarter. Home revenues declined with the cessation of Premier League sublicensing and lower fixed voice usage but was partially mitigated by continued growth in broadband services.

Singtel relaunched its flagship store at Comcentre with state-of-the-art features and integration of online-offline channels to give customers greater ease of use.




In the content space, Group Consumer scored broadcasting rights for all the 2018 FIFA World Cup matches in Singapore and Australia. Optus also secured exclusive Premier League rights for three more seasons, solidifying its position as a leading multi-media entertainment company.

GROUP ENTERPRISE

 Group Enterprise revenue was stable for the quarter as growth in ICT revenues offset the continued erosion of the carriage business. ICT services was boosted by strong contributions from cyber security and cloud services.

Cyber security revenue rose 16% on the back of strong growth in managed security services and momentum in the Asia Pacific region.

In Australia, Optus Business maintained its revenue momentum at 5% growth this quarter, driven by sustained growth in mobile revenue and major ICT contract wins.

GROUP DIGITAL LIFE 

Group Digital Life continued to scale and make progress towards profitability. Revenue grew 54%1 for the quarter with EBITDA at breakeven, lifted by one-off content cost credit and government grants.




In my opinion, SingTel has again shown it ability to grow its business and total revenue for the Full Year rises 4.9% to 17,532m.

Underlying Net profit is down 7.8% ( excluding divestment gains) was 3,544m.

Underlying Net profit if included divestment gain of 1,908m , Up 42.2% to 5,451m.

What an outstanding result.

Looks like we may see a rebound happening on a Friday !

Three major indexes higher.

The Dow Jones Industrial Averagerebounded 98.46 points to finish at 24,216.05 after briefly falling 100 points earlier in the session, with Boeing as the best-performing stock in the index. The S&P 500 closed 0.62 percent higher at 2,716.31 as financials, technology and telecoms outperformed. The Nasdaq composite finished up 0.79 percent at 7,503.68 as Amazon rose 2.4 percent after buying an online pharmacy.

oil prices rose to a three-and-a-half year high on Thursday, bolstered by supply concerns due to U.S. sanctions that could cause a large drop in crude exports from Iran.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures settled at $73.45 a barrel, up 69 cents, or 0.95 percent. It reached $74.03 earlier in the session, highest since Nov. 26, 2014.

The United States this week demanded all countries halt imports of Iranian oil from November, a hardline position the Trump administration hopes will cut off funding to Tehran.(cnbc.com)

26 June 2018

US crude surges 3.6%, settling at $70.53, after State Dept says oil buyers must cut Iranian imports to zero

• Oil prices spiked after the State Department signaled the Trump administration will take a hardline approach to cutting off Iran's oil exports.
• A State Department official told reporters the administration expects oil buyers to completely cut off purchases of Iranian supplies in early November.




• Oil prices were already facing upward pressure due to declining production in Venezuela and elsewhere at a time of high global demand.(cnbc.com)

With oil price crossing the $70 mark again, looks like it may attract investor investing in Oil drilling business and hence may boost the demand for new Rigs order.

This may likely benefit both Sembcorp Marine & Keppel Corp.

With this piece of good news, I think Sembcorp Marine may Gap up and retest $2.10 then $2.20 level. 

Keppel Corp may retest $7.20 then $7.40 .

Sembcorp Marine:

NAV of $1.157.

EPS is down 86% to 0.25 cents versus 1.77 cents .

PE is rather high at current price of $2.03 that is a PE of 45.1x ( estimated full year PE of 4.5 cents).

I think The current price of $2.03 is running ahead of its financial fundamentals.

Dividend of 2 cents per annum.

Yield is rather low at 0.98%.

 KepCorp - Looking through their financial results for the past 5 years , we can notice that the Total revenue has been declining substantially from 13,282.979m in 2013 to 6,185.668 in 2017.

 I think it is still quite far away for them to grow and increase their total revenue to hit the 10B value. Similarly , the Total net income has also been decreasing from 1,884.798m in 2013 to 301.668m in 2017.

 Diluted EPS has also been going downhill from 0.504 in 2013 to 0.231 in 2017.

 Dividend is almost below half of what has been declared in 2013 of 0.48 versus 0.22 in 2017.

 Diluted EPS of 0.231 , PE is about 35.2 times. I think it is still quite a little bit high as compare to its usual PE of about 13-15 times.

Looking at the latest 1st quarter result which was being released on 

Singapore, 19 April 2018 – Keppel Corporation Limited (Keppel) reported a net profit of S$337 million for the first three months of 2018, 34% higher than the S$252 million net profit for 1Q 2017, bolstered by higher contributions from the Property Division. 

The Group achieved revenue of S$1,470 million for 1Q 2018, which was an improvement of S$222 million or 18% over 1Q 2017. The increase was underpinned by higher revenues achieved by the Property and Infrastructure divisions, which mitigated the impact of lower work volume in the Offshore & Marine Division.

I think the total net profit has also factored in the divestment gain of 289m from the property division.

I think without this divestment gain, net profit may be about the same level as in 1st quarter 2017.

So my observation is that, it may still take quite sometimes for the company to achieve the same level of  net profit as in year 2013.

The current price of $7.09 seems to be trading at a premium level as compare to its NAV of $6.311.

On a positive note , the total order book has generally increased to 4.3B as per the table below:

Another piece of good news is that they have been able to secure a first newbuild drilling rig order in 3 years.
