First, their cash flow is approx US$16.3m per qtr. They paid out approx US$ 8m or more in dividend, approx US 1.5 cents per share, and they reduce their loan by approx US$8m last qtr. THey have 23 ships, and if the 2 ships are permanently out of action ( which should not be the case), they will stand to lose about US$3.7m or so per qtr, which means that ehy will still have positive cash flow of US$12.6m Assuming they continue to pay the bank US$8m per qtr, they still have aprox US$4m to pay out as dividends. Although DBS Vickers has downgraded the stock, they still have a dividend projection of US 3.9 cents for the whole year, which translates to a yield of  14.7 % ! ALso, they are in the process of completing an acquisition, using the funds of US$28m from a previous placement, which according to the CEO should yield 15 % or so on cost of funds deployed. AT 0.37 cents, the price is comparable to Rickmers, and yet Rickmers recently cancelled the purchases of some ships and the penalty to them is US$65m ! It does not make sense for FSL to trade at the same price as Rickmers. NAV of FSL Trust is approx 0.80 cents sing. ( I think) SOme food for thought. Caveat Emptor. DO your own homework. Sentiment is obviously bearish, and as people imagine the worst scenario. Not a call to buy/sell.

 

Apologies - the  statement ' huge appreciation of assets' should be 'huge depreciation of assets'.

 

 

A bit of  accounting here - First, FSL Trust is a business trust. This is a new entity incorporated, probably under MAS guidelines, just like City Spring is a business trust.

A business trust may show a loss in their Profit/Loss every year or just a nominal amount of profit, due to the huge appreciation of their assets, BUT their cash flow is huge, and under present guidelines, if you are registered as a business trust, you are allow to distribute dividends from your cash flow, even though you may show an ACCOUNTING loss. This is not allow for normal companies that are not registered as a business trust, ie  you cannot distribute divs in excess of your accounting P/L. (Please correct me, if I am wrong)

WHen you buy a business trust, like FSL or CitySpring, think of it like as if you are buying a property, you take a loan, the rental is enough to cover your interest, principal repayment, and at the end of the day, you may likely pay the loan at the end of the loan period, you still have the property.

However, in the case of Shipping trust, the ships (in the case of FSL, they are quite new), their lifespan may be 20-30 years ( I am not sure how long), and you have to ensure that the return, ie the yields are sufficient to compensate you for holding on. That is, are the approx 14 % yield (it may vary) enough for you to buy this stock - what happens after 20-30 yrs, when their ships depreciated ?, etc. 

As FSL is generating US$16.3m cash per qtr, their total cash flow is US$65m per yr, or US$50.2 m, less the revenue from the 2 ships, they can theoretically pay their US480m debts in 9.6 yrs, without distributing dividends to shareholders. (Currently they are paying down their debts by US$8m per qtr, ie US$32m per year)

If nothing happens the next few years, as they pay down their debt, the interest cost per year becomes lower and lower, and they probably can pay higher divs down the road.

BUT then, nobody pays off their loans without distributing dividends, as this would be unpalatable to shareholders.

In the case of REITS, they do not pay off their loans at all !, and the loans just get rollover.

Again, investing in Shipping trust, business trust, Reits, is a matter of looking at the risks vs returns, vs the returns that you are getting from the bank interest (which is very safe, but miserable returns).

Again, Caveat emptor - Not for the faint hearted. Not a call to but/sell.

 

No - I just  came to know this stock through its current problems

But from the past postings, many people are trapped as its price plunge very fast ..............

They do not like to talk now , understandable.................

Today, FSL Trust managed to hold onto its support at $0.39 despite of high selling volume of 3.62 million shares traded.

Three black candles occurred in the last three days.  Although these candles were not big enough to create three black crows, the steady downward pattern is bearish.

In addition, 3 bearish patterns such as 2 falling window and 1 separating lines over this week has affirmed to this bearish thinking.

Both RSI & MACD indicators are bearish as MACD line perform a “cross down” and RSI at oversold region.

Important Resistance of FSL Trust: $0.42

Immediate Support of FSL Trust: $0.39

FSL Trust already fallen pass all the 200/100/50days MA.

We would not encourage anyone to buy this counter at all.

FSL long term charts shows nothing but just a “reverse bathtub” which is very bearish.

But in case where people who are already vested and not willing to cut loss then we would suggest monitoring the support at $0.39. Average down at the $0.39 if this support can hold at least for few trading days. But important note is that the trading volume must be back to normal before entry.

People who are not vested really need to keep out of this stocks....i see the chart and i almost faint liao.

This counter can fight with raffles education loh and i got friends got trap in this stock. :(

 

DBS VICKERS

PRICE TARGET : 36 CTS
