Alam will continue up trend like Perdana since Perdana now closed at Rm 1.23 and Alam price is far behind and cheaper than Perdana this will attrack more investor and retailer focus on Alam. I forecast this counter will touch 0.90 cents and above. Expected more securities firm will revalue higher TP for Alam. Any good comment from securites will help to boot up buying interest on this counter. If got holding power can hold until Chinese new year. 2013 year for Oil & Gas .... pre-Chinese New Year Ang Pow coming soon........
I did not give your Chinese New Year "Ang Pow" is Petronas carigali the one give us "Ang Pow". Petronas award contrac to Perdana and Alam give a positive impact to this counter causing the price surge to yearly historical high. We always remember when we buy a counter try to buy a counter related to a sector. example Perdana and Alam are belong to Oil & Gas sector as we know this year Petronas going to award many contrac for this sector company just but this sector counter and keep forget about other counter .... We must follow the direction of the wind is blow... If this year the wind is blow on Oil & Gas sector then we lah simple at that.
I bought Alam 100,000 share and Perdana-wa 100,000. I did not buy Perdana but i buy warrant because any up trend on Perdana mother share the warrant will follow too. I can buy 3 lots warrant instead 1 lot Perdana but if both mother and warrant up example mother share up 5 cent warrant may up 3 cent ( 3 lots x3 cent =9 cent )

tomorrow big gap up....news out later evening...
Just wonder who is this mysterious99 . Seems he/she knew about the news earlier than us. Congrats to all Alam investors. Better keep this stock until chinese new year for more angpau.. smiles...
I don't think so Anulus coz Alam never fall under PN17 co. Investors and analysts are more confidence towards Alam, even Petronas Carigali dare to awards Alam with such a huge contract @ RM576m . Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! buybackma...if 90c can break with huge volume...hohohoho...
There are other PSCs in operation in Malaysia. More contracts will be given out until we ran out malaysian flagged vessel. The Pan-malaysia transportation/installation to be awarded to winning contractor Q2 this year.
In my opinion, 1.25 TP is achievable. All those fund that have striked out ALAM earlier will be buying them back.
kytan Alam is not speculation counter like Patimas... Alam is fundamental counter and profit counter. A fundamental counter with good news release will enhance share performance. Moreover many securities firm give Buy call with higher TP so is worth to hold med term for Chinese New Year " Ang Pow" Only speculation counter like Patimas will happen buy in rumours sell in fact.
IB research - Our target price is 1.42, still pegged to our CY14 target market P/E of 13.3x. Maintain Buy. Improved charter ... We understand that the fleet consists of anchor handling, towing and supply (AHTS) vessels - four 5,000HP ones and two 10,000HP ones. For the marine spread portion of the contract, we estimate that Alam fetches a charter rate of around US$2/HP, slightly higher than US$1.92-1.95/HP that Perdana (PETR MK, Outperform) makes from its recent win. It is also a substantial improvement from US$1.75-1.80/HP a year ago.most operators have reported a pick-up in utilisation and charter rates. Alam's utilisation rate is expected to average 86% this year, up from 76% in 2012 and 70% in 2011. Order book doubles. Alam and Perdana have clinched a combined five new wins worth RM1.1bn - all in just 15 days. The latest contract doubles Alam's marine support order book to RM1.1bn, its highest ever. The jobs in hand will last five years, not inclusive of a charter contract for two vessels that spans 14 years.
wow.... Very big bite lah.... as i mention yesterday Alam become another target after Perdana due to lower price Announcement yesterday attrack more securities firm upgrade higher TP for Alam.... Pre-Chinese new year "Ang Pow" for those who bought Alam and Perdana.. I guess afternoon session will be more excited.... 2013 for Oil & Gas Counter.
Come on Alam chase Perdana ma!!!!!! Perdana 1.26 already!!!!!! You are lagging behind almost 40c ma... shame ur self lor...Alam won't dissapoint you investors out there..buybackma.. don't miss the speedboat..smiles..
Who knows one day Alam and Perdana might look for possible merger since both involved in the same business. Buyer coming in at 89.5c ..wow ...the road block of 90c will disappeared in few minutes times.. patience ma..
