Extracted from my blog: http://kelongstocks.blogspot.com full posting here: Hi all, just a quick note on ASL Marine: From today's price action, Cosco and Yangzijiang rallied strongly and are now trading at around 30x P/E for FY08. In contrast ASL Marine is trading at only 10x historical FY07 earnings and only 8.2x FY08 earnings despite consistent forecasted growth in profits over the next 2 years. UOBKH is forecasting $50m net profits for FY08 and $57m for FY09 compared to $40.3m which was achieved in FY07. UOBKH is forecasting $48.7m net profits for FY08 and $55.5m for FY09 I feel that is a tad conservative given strong industry outlook and potential for more contract wins which will lead to further rerating. Nevertheless, ASL Marine, albeit a much smaller player relative to the giants Cosco and Yangzijiang, does not deserve to be trading at such a steep discount to its competitors. A more reasonable valuation would be to use its historical P/E trading range which is around 10x for FY2007. Applying this same historical P/E to FY08 forecasted EPS of 17.5 cents ( fully diluted assuming full conversion of warrants due on Apr 08 ), ASL Marine deserves to be trading at least at $1.75. During very bullish market sentiment, ASL Marine has traded up to 12x historical P/E which implies a potential target price of up to $2.10 |

Technicals are very bullish, it should take out 1.57 anytime, and head towards 1.68! Cosco at pre-correction levels, Yangzijiang at 10% discount to pre-correction level, ASL - still a compelling 30% discount to pre-correction levels! |

----- Forwarded by Roger Ong/REM/DMGAPS on 08/27/2007 09:15 AM ----- FY07 FY07 earnings rose by 74.5% to S$40.25m on a 61.1% rise in revenue to S$318.4m. This outpaced our full year estimate of S$32.7m, with growth in all segments. Shipbuilding profit climbed 64.4%, Ship repair by 86.6% and Ship chartering by 41.4%. The significant improvement was driven by both higher charter rates (up 10-20% Y/Y) and the fleet expansion from 126 (53 tugs & 73 barges) to 158 (61 tugs & 97 barges). The group had earlier articulated a conservative strategy in its shipchartering segment: to maintain its fleet size, while expanding its vessel sizes. However, the buoyant market opportunities proved too good to miss. ASL subsequently increased its fleet by 27%, with another 22 vessels expected to be added in. The group could see a fleet size of around 170 vessels in the next year or so. Rates-wise, there will be a number of renewals in the coming fiscal year, which augurs well for the group. Shipbuilding on a roll ASL has just announced new shipbuilding orders worth S$102m from European clients. The orders comprise one sub-sea operation vessel, two Rotor Tugs and two self-propelled Hopper Barges with completion slated for FY09-10. We are upgrading our EPS forecast for FY08-09 by 5% as a result. Order book at record high ASL's record shipbuilding order book continues to pile up. The increasing number of offshore orders underscores the buoyancy of the offshore sector and ASL's success in moving up the value chain, which will translate into increasing order values and better margins. As at 30 June 07, the Group has an outstanding order book for shipbuilding of approximately S$622 mil New dock still not optimal Despite already reaping returns with a number of Aframax repair jobs completed, ASL's new dry dock that can handle ships of 150k deadweight tonnes (DWT) is still not operating at optimal capacity. We expect the new dock to contribute sales of at least around S$2m per month or S$24m annually. However, by adding a 220m finger pier to enhance its berthing capacity in order to take on more business, this could improve the group's revenue yield from the new dry dock to about S$50m per annum. Full contribution of Batam dry dock will come in next year. Upgrading target price to S$2.34 ASL continues to offer good value, using current price of S$1.47, it is trading at 9.4x FY08 PE and 8.3x FY09 PE. We are raising our target price to S$2.34 from S$1.94 previously, based on 15x FY08 PE. We continue to believe that ASL is capable of unlocking value via ASL Energy. Reiterate BUY. |------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------| | Year End | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008F | 2009F | | Jun 30 | | | | | | |------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------| | Sales ($ m)| 139.1 | 197.6 | 318.4 | 402.1 | 443.0 | |------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------| | Pre-tax ($m)| 16.1 | 26.5 | 45.1 | 52.8 | 60.0 | |------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------| | Net profit | 13.6 | 23.1 | 40.2 | 46.3 | 52.6 | | ($ m) | | | | | | |------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------| | EPS (cts) | 6.2 | 9.7 | 14.7 | 15.6 | 17.7 | |------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------| | EPS growth | 23% | 56% | 51% | 6.1% | 13.5% | | (%) | | | | | | |------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------| | PER (x) | 23.7 | 15.2 | 10.7 | 9.4 | 8.3 | |------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------| | EV/EBITDA | 14.8 | 10.1 | 7.9 | 6.0 | 5.0 | | (x) | | | | | | |------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------| | Yield (%) | 1.3 | 1.5 | 1.9 | 2.1 | 2.4 | |------------+--------+--------+--------+--------+--------| |

Nothing is for sure. Investing/Trading itself is a buy of uncertainty It is a buy on faith. Which means letting go of your control state. =) |

Bullish engulf white candle with gapup open.@ decent volume today. Should see upside potential higher than lower. Pullback support@ 1.70 is a strong level. IMHO, its a level that offered minimum entry risk Immediate resistance@1.76 Never an inducement for any trade decisions [vested] |

I am not really concern about the performance shares thingie. Performance shares to employee by itself is a good thing. It is to encourage employee involvement. The outcome shall not elaborate. Many companies practice it. Note that, I didn't read the news at all. This is just my human resource experience opinion. So long as you think its business is taking off, just have a little faith in it; otherwise it is a totally different story. The next support would be at 1.63. Would buy more if it ever reaches there. Never an inducement for any trade decisions[vested]. |

They did not state the reason why they are cutting back on the amount of performance share issue. But from my point of view is that they are aware that the price per shares are of a higher price than before, and will remain so for awhile! So they do not need to give out so many shares from now on. In addition it will also minimise diluting if there are any at all. So its actually a good thing. Just my 2 cents worth! |
