Chart of the Day: Check out the impressive capital returns of offshore & marine firms

Despite an underperformance since 2010.

Notwithstanding a lackluster recent showing, longer-term capital returns from Singapore oil & gas companies have been in the range of 85-284%, ignoring dividends.

According to RHB research, long-term capital returns from Keppel and SembMarine have been exceeding expectations.

“The two stocks have handily beaten both the STI and the S&P 500 indices,” RHB research said.

“A SGD1m investment in Keppel and SembMarine in 2000 would be worth SGD3.64m and SGD3.84m today, vs SGD1.26m and SGD1.31m in the STI and S&P 500 respectively, before accounting for dividends,” they added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
