STI - Recent positive view vindicated, near-term support 3405, near-term resistance 3500
Our recent positive view on the Singapore market at STI 3380 and slightly below has been vindicated. STI's rise in the past 2 weeks has lifted valuation back above the 13.4x (-0.25SD) 12-mth forward PE currently at 3405 that is viewed as the near term support. It heads towards the 13.76x (ave) 12-mth forward PE currently at 3500 that is viewed as the near-term resistance.
It was reported that illegal payments had been made in connection with contracts entered into by Petrobras and/or Sete Brasil. SembCorp Marine is unable to comment on the truth or otherwise of these allegations and its internal investigations are continuing. At this juncture, the scandal has affected Sete Brasil's fund-raising activities and thus payments to rigbuilders since Nov'14. The other three Brazilian shipyards who were awarded 16 rig contracts in total have or are considering to cancel the rigbuilding contracts. Singapore rigbuilders have previously mentioned that they would continue with the rig construction while awaiting Sete Brasil's secure of fundings. We believe cancellation risk is relatively low for Singapore rigbuilders, being the few yards that are competent to deliver rig and production platform on time, unless Sete Brasil fails to secure funding for a prolonged period and the shipyards decided to withdraw. In that case, yards could suffer financial loss given the higher production cost in Brazil and declining asset price.
