PEC

Decent set of earnings considering the oil & gas sector slump.
nice dividend of 2 cents with a current share price of $0.33, yielding a nice 6%.

record orderbook of more than $450 mill also helps ease the mind amid this chaos.

Now, PEC is trading around the value of its cash component minus debt and dividend. 
Vested. Will accumulate more if downwards pressure continues. 
Just treat it as "FD" while waiting for the O&G storm to clear.
Once the oil price starting to normalize around $30+ bbl, likely to see earning to stabilize. 
Looking at the balance sheet, likelihood to maintain the $0.02 dividend for next two years.

Yes does seem very attractive. However from cash flow statement cash eq has jumped up up 30+ million due mainly to
1) Decrease in contracts-in-progress, 42,657m
2) (Increase) in trade and other receivables, and prepayments(50,227m)
3) Increase in trade and other payables and accruals, and provision 26,347m

which are all in opposite direction of last year's cash flow.

checking under assets, trade receivables is increase much more than trade payables.

So despite the order book being there, cash flow wise, cash mainly seems to be coming into the company not from increasing profits from operations, but from a big decrease in contracts in progress(previous contracts being completed). Looks like business is ramping down rather than ramping up. Though it is good to see company is still profitable this year

Order book projects can also be delayed and cancelled should the oil market worsen.

guess its ok to start accumulating  now, but for me the dividend yield is still not attractive enough in the case that we may have to hold this counter if there is no improvement in business for next few years.

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of PEC Ltd. (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries and

Corporation Pte Ltd (“JAC”).

JAC is an existing client of the Group for which the Group has been providing, inter alia, integrated
engineering and maintenance services.

The Board is currently assessing the impact of JAC going into receivership on the Group and will
update the shareholders of the Company in due course.

Shareholders and investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the

Am not sure how much the impact will be on the results.

more share buyback at 39c today looks like they are just stocking up for ESOS since already no money to give dividend still got money to do share buyback.

What nonsense the management.
