Keppel Corp pops the champagne on $6.7b order wins

Beats analyst's expectations of $6b.

According to DBS, Keppel Corp has sealed the jack up deal with long-standing customer, Transocean, consisting of five firm orders worth US$1.1bn plus five options.

DBS said the latest contracts lift Keppel’s YTD wins to S$6.7bn, surpassing its expectation of S$6bn. 

Here's more:

We have raised our FY13 order win assumption to S$6.7bn accordingly and will revise this as and when Keppel announces new contracts in the coming 1.5 months before the year end.

Our forecast is largely unchanged as earnings impact will be from 2015 onwards.

To recap, Keppel’s potential order pipeline which are at advance stages includes: 1) PEMEX’s six jack up orders totaling US$1.3bn; 2) Golar’s FLNG projects following the recent conclusion of FEED study; and 3) potential its first drillship contract.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
