Persistent geopolitical tensions in Iraq, Libya and Ukraine/Russia will keep Brent crude pricing elevated and encourage increased exploration & operational activities in the oil & gas industry which is positive for the supporting services industry, including the offshore marine supply sector. This will alleviate the fear of declining chartering rates for offshore supply vessels following the Petronas’ CEO statement of expecting lower charter rates ahead. Higher Brent crude prices will increase Petronas’ margin hence a lesser need to pressure its service providers for lower rates. Due to these developments, there has been a perk up in prices & trading activities of the O&G stocks of which Perdana has seen a sharp increase in volume yesterday & a potential take-out of its immediate resistance at RM1.80. Fundamentally, Perdana has confirmed its solid operational improvements from its recent set of results as once the company has covered its fixed costs on achieving the critical mass, a large portion of the gains in revenue from higher utilization & charter rates go straight to the bottom line. We expect this phenomenon to continue into this FY results as the management has guided better utilization rates couple with the new contracts secured at higher charter rates.  Perdana is also seeing higher visibility of earnings with 65% of the working vessels on long-term charters. Management has also indicated that their emphasis is now on EOR-related jobs where Petronas & its PSC partners are budgeting to spend RM30b over the next 30 years and the better stability offered in brownfield projects. It is currently bidding to supply vessel to a Shell EOR job (St Joseph’s) where award is expected by 2H14. Perdana is also attractive on a valuation basis with FY14 & FY15 PER of 13.7x & 11.7x.

Stock is consolidating in a symmetrical triangle pattern for the last 2 months within a larger ascending triangle pattern which goes back to July'13. The current consolidation appears to be a potential final leg as it is approaching the apex of its triangle pattern, to be followed by a resolution to the upside with a target of RM2.10.  Fundamentally, Alam is trading at a discount compared to its mid and small cap peers with FY14 & FY15 PER of 13.3x & 11.5x versus its peers average of 19.7x & 13.3x. Alam has an orderbook of RM1.2b and a tender book of RM2b with 20% success rate. Alam is targeting revenue growth next year from the new diving support vessel acquisition which will be funded from the proceeds of the recent placement of shares to Hong Leong Co & Caprice Capital which would mean corporate & project tie-ups with TH Heavy Engineering, Scomi Energy & Singapore-listed Ezion Holdings.
