Why prospects say .. 2018 can incoming back? Can trust him?
Generally, the offshore support vessels (“OSV”) market in the first three quarters of 2017 has been weak and for the last quarter of 2017, the Board envisages that the Group’s vessel utilization will continue to remain sluggish in view of the impending monsoon. However, going into 2018 it is expected that the Group’s vessel utilization rate will be better than that of 2017 as a substantial number of the Group’s fleet will be earmarked for Dayang’s offshore maintenance and hook-up contracts with various oil majors where activities are already projected to be ramping high. Currently, the few remaining vessels which are not earmarked for Dayang’s jobs are participating in bids for the OSV contracts domestically, regionally and also in international markets and the outcome of these tenders are still pending. Also, with the price of crude oil currently hovering near USD60 per barrel, the Board is more optimistic that sentiments should improve going forward. The Group’s ongoing cost containment exercise to cut-cost is yielding result with improved cost efficiency. The relisting plan of the Company which is targeted to be completed by end of November 2017 and the issuance of new shares via private placement to regularise the public shareholding spread is also ongoing, all boding well for the Group if completed. The proceeds of this corporate exercise once completed will be utilized to pare down bank borrowings and improve the Group's gearing level, reduce its interest expenses, and add financial flexibility to its operational cash flow management. In view of the above, despite the dilution of EPS of the Group and dilutive effect on the existing shareholders’ shareholdings, the private placement exercise is expected to have a positive impact on the earnings of the Group when the benefits are realized, which will then directly enhance shareholders’ value. Although the Board is well briefed of the Group’s outlook and prospects and the better things to come by the management, the Board remains cautious and vigilant in its pursuit for more longer- term charter opportunities and will continue to exercise due care in their endeavours.
Who is this Aaron Tan? On the ground oil and gas worker or just some Analyst sitting in an office googling? This MCM contract although the value is big, but is a call out type contract. So means only if they need you then they call you out. You can expect only utilization of 60-70% of Actual Contract Value (ACV) while the remaining some clever executives will claim as their cost savings initiatives for their KPI. This type of contract call out type usually is hard to gauge their earnings.
On Perdana Petroleum, ship utilization. There's kind of tight competition for this market. There's not only perdana petroleum in this game, you have sealink, Shin Yang and a few more non-listed shipping company. So yeah this few years will be tough. Good luck

i think the same too...bottom already has been found..good volume que at every sen from 0.30 downward..dayang rebound from the lowest point to near opening price in afternoon market...nice to see...brent crude hovering between rm63-64...quite stable for past few weeks
If this company can turn around... then it is cheap to buy now... back after 2 years of suspension.... if biz not sustainable as a going concern, biz would have folded and Bursa would've ordered the stock to be delisted.
I'm sure there will be rebounds, but for me,it's for the benefit of the banks who are lenders to indebted shareholders ...to sell for a better price than they would otherwise get in an unmanipulated free market.
Again it comes back to one question...can they turn around? 2015 was a very bad year for O&G...that was then...now oil is above 60 consistently..dynamics have changed...
Check out their quarterly results... revenue increased QOQ...PAT improving despite still in negative figures...turnaround is realistic..u research..u decide.
Dun look at buy /sell orders to decide ...look at their previous results from 2013 to now... then ask yourself...do u believe that there's a turnaround for this company.
Orlando, any reason behind on buying perdana? Thinking of the same as well, but still holding back coz no fundamental data to prove it. Looks like bottom already, but if QR still performing the same then might drop more. Especially Q4 2017, monsoon period, usually OG activities slow down a lot.

Think for yourself. Oil sector is improving or not, own judgment and decision
