Keppel at risk of another sell-off as oil crashes to 14-year low

It’s also struggling with Tianjin woes.

Keppel’s share price has declined steeply since the end of July. But the worst may be yet to come for the struggling conglomerate.

According to Nicholas Teo of CMC Markets, the stock is at risk of falling further as oil prices crash to a 14-year low. Reports of Keppel’s exposure to devastatedTianjin are also unlikely to lift its fortunes.

“Keppel closed at SGD7.27 yesterday, below the key SGD7.30. With a rebound expected in Asian markets this morning following the strength gathered from US markets overnight, if Keppel fails to gather any enthusiasm on the upside, we may see yesterday’s break of SGD7.30 as an indication that prices will fall further,” Teo said.

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.
