Always funny how Bumi Armada has a high beta (influenced by oil price fluctuations) when in reality, the business operations and profitability is not impacted by the day to day oil price swings.
SP Energy is doing pretty well and may boost BA's future prospect as JV partner. BA has helped SP Energy built up their FPSO business and now they are helping back.

@nikicheong, partly agreed not to read so much on the direction of OnG price in the short term; but if OnG price stays high at longer terms above average production cost will have a good impact on all upstream and downstream counters, IMHO (in my humble opinion). Points to ponder for FPSO operators: - Most owners of FPSO built the facilities to 'lease' at daily rates 'inclusive' of full functioning of the facilities. - Not all OnG fields require FPSO, only feasible for deep water and marginal fields. - High risk for high return compared to a field with a Central Production Complex (CPC or CPP) with its own Satellites Platform (SP). The daily rates have to cater for this risk. - Chances of reUse in other locations is not very feasible as each field has its own landing pressure and hydrocarbon composition and aging of equipment. - Operation regulation. Example ESG, COP etc confirmation like Carbon Capture, Heat Recovery, Waste Water Treatment and Zero Flaring, etc Just a few points to ponder for TradeAtYourOwnRisk..
collect slowly and sleep soundly while waiting for O&G play, hopefully it is not a value trap counter. Just need some news to spark a rush up (hopefully not a rush down).
Today some bad news. Brent has dramatically fallen to 78 USD. We shall see if it affects the price. New target is now MYR 0.78 in 90 days (based on the futures).
Yes, you did. And I was arguing that you needed to check financial figures, project prospects, etc in the past. But the overall O&G market still impacts us, like a low tide. I guess not much can be done today. Until next week. Houthis will do their work for sure.
sorry, guys. let's hope for a better week next week. anyway, it's still on uptrend technically. so let's hold on tight. The ship will sail again. Better I stay quiet. have a good weekend.
No problem rohank. I think we are teasing you. In any case, today's action WAS a humbling experience. MYR 0.535 at one time. So low considering Kraken is OK and AS V is now online. We did not predict this.
sometimes market not logical as BA is a FPSO provider and mainly earns from charter rates which is negotiated and usually quite stable, oil prices shouldnt really affect BA profitability esp short term, hibiscus is more tied to oil price than FPSO like BA or yinson
Warren Buffett-backed Occidental Petroleum is predicting an oil supply shortage by 2025 due to global failure to replace crude reserves at a fast enough pace.
Charter rates may or may not be based on oil price. But Armada surely is. Oil price stabilized and even went up a bit to $78. Armada counter stabilizes too. Soon to move up as well ?
Everyone here talking about trends, oil price etc. Okay yes they impact short term price fluctuations, but the baseline long term trend is informed by the underlying prospects of the business. For which, Bumi Armada has yet to deliver.
I wonder when will there start being an exodus of long-term investors.
Every other day, they post some nonsense initiative (that has zero bearing on their core business) on LinkedIn.
The core business (FPSOs / FSOs /FSRU/ FLNG) is not easy to do anymore. Primarily due to lack of financing options. In fact there is an abundance of projects but very few takers as financing sources have dried up. The mainstream banks and financing institutions are reluctant to finance long term oil & gas projects. The new initiatives are there no out of the goodness of their hearts, but in hopes of making money from that. But the current management seems clueless on how to do this.
Happy New Year to all Bumi Armada shareholders, be it short-term traders or medium/long-term investors.
Here's to hoping in the Year of the Dragon, Bumi Armada fulfils it's potential. Looking forward to some concrete announcements with regards to green energy initiatives (FLNG, FSRU, FCSIU).
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
