Think this should be the piece of news that AK mentioned earlier.

 
Published April 24, 2008

Brokers' Take




Singapore Petroleum Co
April 23 close: S$7.66
DBS Group Research, April 23


WHILE the group's operating profit was up 7 per cent y-o-y, operating profit from refining business actually dropped 24 per cent or S$25 million from a year ago. This was despite a stable refining margin of US$7 per barrel. Oil hedging loss, weak US dollar, and high freight rate contributed to the y-o-y decline in operating profit from refining business.

Management did not disclose details of its hedging activities but indicated that hedging cost was $10 million higher than in Q1 2007. Trading volume is expected to recover in Q2 2008 from a decline in Q1 2008 to 19.3 million barrels, versus 20.5 million barrels in Q1 2007. However, the scheduled maintenance in Q2 2008 would lower refinery crude throughput by 3 per cent from the Q1 2008 level.

SPC is still seeking to acquire operating E&P assets. However, management acknowledged that at current record-high oil prices it would be difficult to find any acquisition opportunity at good price. Therefore, SPC will likely focus more on E&P organic growth during the next two years. It expects to drill 18-19 exploration wells in 2008 with allocated budget of US$50 million-US$60 million.





Refining business will continue to dominate SPC's earnings in the coming years. We expect SPC's quarterly earnings to peak in Q2 2008, supported by seasonally strong refining margins and record crude prices. We expect quarterly earnings to jump to S$160 million-S$180 million in Q2 2008, and soften to S$100 million-S$130 million in Q3-Q4 2008.

Based on our recently raised crude price assumptions, we forecasted FY08-09 net profits that are 1.8 per cent and 11 per cent higher respectively. Hence, we revised our sum-of-parts TP to S$7.84. Our 'hold' rating is based on: 1) attractive dividend yield of 7.5 per cent; 2) current strong refining margin and high crude prices; and 3) relatively cheaper valuations compared with regional peers.
HOLD

As long as it is still trading in CD (Cum dividend), you will get the divvy... Once it becomes XD (Excluding Dividend) then you won't get the divvy but usually the price will drop on XD..

Actually I got heard a man invented a formula to turn plants from his backyard into fuel in India don't know how many umpteen year ago. After the news broke out his house kenna burn down and formula 'bo ke liao'. So I belief that what you have just said will come true. One of these days in the near future.

Agree, solely speculation. Dun see any shortage of fuel, neither the OPEC willing to increase output but reduce their income. For commodity investors, as far as they can earn profit for any trading, they are deemed good investors. They hv no mercy whether, global economy slow down, starvation here and there etc.

One fine day, if someone, such as Shackspear II, could turn something into fuel, for IE sea water into fuel, then OPEC kena kow tau leow. They will sell the world tallest building, oasis islands, scrapt metal of their oil field infrastructures etc.Smiley
