Hope that the CEO or board work hard to secure more contarct for their rigs, fully utilize all their rigs then share price only can PECUT back to 40 cents !!!!!!!
Velesto hv cash & bank balance about 261mil and inventories yet receive payment about 200mil. Something good thing to observed rather just pointing to impairment loss. No doubt in future they also can go for FPSO to compete with others o&g. Just my 2c opinion only.
All impairment loss will be reverse the moment Daily Jack-up Rate Hit $80,000 / Day ( most likely around Nov/dec 2021 ) You should worry about impairment loss if economy is still plunging. Impairment loss is "just a accounting " announcement that Equipment are seating Down Idle ( Impairment is a accounting entry that doesnT involved Cash---reverse any time when Management feels it is appropriate )
Why Velesto didnT crash after this Impairment announcement? Bcos IB feels Oil Outlook is positive in long Term
Umno AGM has sounds War Drum on Ge15----Only Forward march, Retreat is Treason. For me where is the money for Ge15?? From Bursa?? If Monday all Goreng Stock Fired Up on All Cylinders, you know the answer already
Usually market price Lag Bank's Tp by 30% or more( Bank's Tp forward looking ) Right now it seems Velesto market price is almost approaching 18cents ( among Highest )---Maybe Velesto short term bullish price is 22 cents ( If Sapnrg makes a Mad dash to finish-line 30sens, i donT think Velesto will just squat at longkang besar smoking illegal Cigarette )
Yes, OPEC ministers meeting today will know the outcome... I think it will be a superb good news and oil price immediately will spike up towards the $80 level...
`AT THIS MOMENT VELESTO SHOULD HAVE >18 , BUT A HEAVY HAND IS KEEPING PRICE DOWN. BUYERS OUTNUMBER SELLERS MORE THAN 5:1. PEERS ARE MOVING ON. TIME FOR VELESTO TO WAKE UP
If next quarter again loss then price will definitely go down. Other companies had taken losses and going towards recovery (eg sapura). Velesto from what i see is just goint through a slump. expect heavy obstacles for 2021, 2022 should be a good year for them. Long terms investors are welcomed
