Thks Eddyte  for pointing out..STXOSV shd bottom at this level $1.50-1.52 and if > contracts will move up again..one of my favourite counters...make many rounds...even at 80cts ,$1.07,1.20.1.28.1.35...sold mant times and buy back also equally many rounds when it dropped esp during N-S Korea tension when its just traded after ipo in Oct 2010 and Japan Earthquake..now holding mainly for the long haul and has received all the dividends since its debut...
 
Hei U guys interested in Auric Pacific ..since F& nN and APB..being sold out..this counter also started to move..in its hey days $3-4..pay good dividends..matter of time it will cross $1.20..can consider...
 
 
The company recently appointed Miss Saw Phaik Hwa as the CEO, effective from 1 May 2012. As the ex-CEO of SMRT, she presided over the numerous mishaps that have befallen the public transit company, a series of highlypublic breakdowns that caused much inconvenience to commuters and eventually resulted in her departure.
What did Auric see in Miss Saw? Despite the unfortunate circumstances surrounding her departure, which were rather lamentable, it is undeniable that she has deep experience in running retail and marketing businesses. Before she joined SMRT in 2002, she had held various senior positions in dutyfree retail chain operator DFS for 19 years. Also, while she was at SMRT, she was credited for increasing SMRT’s rental and advertising income from almost zero to nearly half of group EBIT by end-2011.
Good fit for Auric, on paper. Auric’s main business is in the distribution of fast-moving consumable goods, such as fine wines. Through its key subsidiaries Sunshine Bakery, Delifrance and Food Junction, it is also involved in the manufacturing of baked food products and the operation of food retail outlets. Based on her experience in DFS and SMRT, Miss Saw is a good fit for Auric, at least on paper.
What she could do for Auric. Auric’s topline has been stagnant in the last three years except for manufacturing and food court operations. It would appear that the wholesale & distribution and food retail businesses need a “wake-me-up”. While profits have grown in 2010 and 2011, most of the growth has come from investment and other income. In addition, we think overheads are on the high side, especially selling & marketing costs (17% of sales).
Jury is still out. Valuations are not demanding for a food company at 9x historical PER and 0.6x NTA (Dairy Farm, for instance, trades at 29x PER). It is also supported by a 4.8% dividend yield
Good point Eddyte.
Today is the 3rd day after XD yet there's no sign of heavy selling, and price is holding well above 1.51........,  there's good buying momentum  around this level, very  steady. 
 
starlene,
I also believe that STX OSV operation will not be directly affected at all by this stake selling noise. However, SGX rule say if there is a BUY of more than 30% in a company, the Buyer must make an offer to all shareholders.
This is the reason I guess this stake selling been taking so long....As I explained earlier...Ficantieri (or ??) must make an offer to the rest of the shareholders at same price.
All others (except STX Corp) can reject, and we basically go back to the normal again...with a new main shareholder. 
Unless Ficantieri want to control the whole company (remember : they are a shipbuilder not an investment company), they might want to buy over the whole company (takeover) and delist the company....which in this case, i believe they have to pay a lot more than the 1.50 rumoured in the market.   But with their cashflow of about 1 Billion only, they cannot afford to buy up the whole company...
I believe they (STX Corp, Ficantieri, etc) are trying to sort this out now.....as its been dragging out for a long time. 
As a small retail investor, we can only ride with the big fund (OZ)...Hope they do not take the 1.50...At PE of about 8 for 2013, huge shipbuilding contracts till 2014/2015, oil price going 100 again...I think the big funds are smart enough to decide how they want to perform in their portfolios.   And with dividend of more than 10%...Anyone riding with me???
  Good Luck.

Yes...Anyone who want to buy the 51+% from Stx Corp has to offer the rest to reach 90%. So, the key lies at OZ Funds who is holding about 22%. A combination of both will add to about 75%. So..that depends on the rests of the funds who are still holding the other shares. I believe retails like us basically hold less than 10% of the shares.
If you are serious about this stock, you will know that OZ Fund actually went into the market and purchased additional 1% shares in May at price about 1.595. That works out to be around 1.465 after deducting the 13 cents dividends. I believe they are not selling at THAT moment (May). But the 13 cents dividends today might change their mind.
The question is : Will OZ Fund sell? They bot 20% last year at 1.33, and after adding all the dividends collected (15 cents + 13 cents). They actually have made 28 cents dividends + 17cents (if the stake sold at 1.50). That works out to be about 45 cents for a 1.5 years investment (about 33% return on investment). Will they cash out?
Still...they need other funds and us to agree also.....
I hope they dont...cause a good company like stxosv (or whatever the name will change to) is hard to find.....and If they dont, we basically just go back to the fundamental of the company.
Good Luck.

some speculated tat MA done deal @1.50.   if this is true mkt price will never be anything above 1.5, at best 1.485 leaving little profit for buyers.
having said tat, 1.5 is damn good price to enter 
The Italian shipyard will shell out SGD 1.50 ($1.20) per share for the 51.75% stake owned by STX Group, Korea’s Money Today says.
However private equity firm Carlisle Group has pulled out of a joint bid over uncertainty in the shipbuilding industry, the report says citing unnamed sources.
Fincantieri has long been linked with a move for the offshore shipbuilding specialist which posted a net profit for the second quarter of NOK 278m ($47m).
The Italian outfit is sitting on a cash pile in excess of $1bn, it said in its  second quarter earnings release.
However OCBC Research warned in June of an unusual number of leaks surrounding the supposed negotiations.
It said there was a possibility the rumours were circulated to influence the discussions.
Several analysts are hot on STX OSV which is a runaway leader in the construction of high end offshore support vessels.
Demand for larger, more complex ships is expected to grow as oil and gas production continues to move into deeper water.  
 
This news was from Tradewinds posted on 16 Aug. I guess not much reaction...
