Perdana go higher as 48sen already.Sealink will the next break 40sen soon.500m issue share only,no any right issue what ever QTR loss.Good job management team.
M&G, Perdana and Key field al up... Sealink is the cheapest Osv player because the price is not moving up. Instead it is moving down. Capital is small. So Eps tend to higher than Perdana and M&G. Next few month there is a contract renewal. Managing director even buying the stock ... Many good new but share price still cannot move up
Financially improvement. Loan reduce. Profit increase. Daily charter rate also increase. ONow even monsoon period is over. Business should be very good. Only share price down... Time for accumulation
just US market sentiment kacau , sealink is growing tie with sarawak 2030 economoy plan , benefit from oil n gas expansion in sarawak . going big this round , demand is huge . any panic sell is an opportunity , will back to uptrend soon .
Sealink International Staging a huge comeback Sealink owns 19 active OSVs that are mainly chartered to the O&G industry, and provides shipbuilding and repair services. FY23 blended fleet utilisation was about 60% in FY23 and we believe it will trend upward to over 68% in FY24, driven by the robust offshore maintenance activities amidst an acute shortage of Malaysian-flagged OSVs. Sealink is aiming to secure a few vessels to be chartered under the POV program. Nearly all vessels are currently chartered under spot rates, until the POV awards are officially concluded. We expect Sealink to return to black in FY24f, backed by higher utilisation rate at 68% and blended DCR of RM30k/day. We value Sealink at RM0.52 based on 10x mid-FY25 EPS, a discount to 14x PE that we typically ascribe to OGSE players. We view Sealink as a laggard in the OSV space due to its undemanding valuation amidst an imminent earnings upcycle. Sealink is currently trading at 7x FY24f earnings.
Background. Based in Sarawak, Sealink owns a fleet of marine support vessels that are mainly chartered to the O&G industry, while also offering shipbuilding and repair services. The group currently charters 19 OSV fleets, including multi-purpose supply vessels (MPVs), AHTS, seismic support and straight supply vessels, with an average age of 12 years. We highlight that MPVs can be converted into other vessel types (i.e. PSV/utility vessel) by undergoing certain installations, therefore enhancing its portfolio versatility. For its shipbuilding division, it is supported by its shipyard in Miri, Sarawak, which has constructed 68 vessels since 1999.
Busy times ahead. Sealink’s FY23 blended fleet utilisation was about 60% in FY23 and we believe it will trend upward to over 68% in FY24, driven by the robust offshore development and maintenance activities amidst an acute shortage of Malaysianflagged OSVs. However, we flag that three vessels are currently inactive and awaiting spare parts for dry-docking exercises which are slated to be completed in 2H24. The return of these vessels should provide further utilisation upside in FY25. Meanwhile, its fleet DCR has also improved drastically. For instance, its 48-metre MPVs are now chartered at RM15-20k/day, having doubled from its trough few years ago. Readying for POV tender. We gathered from management that it is aiming to secure a few vessels to be chartered under the POV program (3 years firm period). Nearly all vessels are currently chartered under spot rates, until the POV awards are officially concluded, likely in 2H24. Our checks indicated that the DCR under the POV tender will be similar to the current market spot rates, which we deem positive for the winners due to earnings security enhancement in the coming years. To this end, Sealink has set aside a budget of c.USD10m to purchase one or two used AHTS while looking to dispose of two vessels with aged above 15 years.
Shipyard revival a rerating catalyst? We also expect the long-awaited Safina 2 program to finally be awarded next year. Although we are uncertain if Sealink will win any vessels, the rollout of Safina 2 could potentially spur its shipbuilding orders given its yard’s track record in building OSVs. Management shared that its yard has the capacity to produce 3-4 vessels at one time, which are to be delivered on a staggered basis. Furthermore, the Sarawak’s ongoing project of deepening the Kuala Baram Delta for Miri Port will enhance accessibility for larger cargo vessels. In our view, this will bolster its yard activities when the dredging project is completed in 2027. We note that the revenue contribution from its shipbuilding division is miniscule at this juncture as it mainly provides maintenance work for its own vessels and external parties. Therefore, any positive developments on this front could meaningfully elevate its revenue base and potentially rerate the stock.
Financials. We expect Sealink to return to black with core earnings of RM22.5m in FY24f, backed by stronger blended utilisation rate at 68% and blended DCR of RM30k/day as well as absence of lumpy one-off expenses that were incurred in FY23 (i.e. dry-docking costs and penalties). Subsequently, we project further earnings growth of 31% in FY25, lifted by higher fleet utilisation at 75% and DCR of RM33k/day. Balance sheet wise, Sealink’s net gearing stood at a sturdy 0.06 times as at end1Q24. We highlight that almost half of its total borrowings are revolving credits, which are all classified under current liabilities.
Non-rated, fair value of RM0.52. We value Sealink at RM0.52 based on 10x midFY25f EPS, a discount to 14x PE that we typically ascribe to OGSE players. At current price, Sealink is currently trading at 7x FY24f earnings. We view Sealink as a laggard in the OSV space due to its undemanding valuation amidst an imminent earnings upcycle.
