What’s next for Ezion after China wind power project?

Financial woes could greet Ezion in 2016.

The shipping company has found itself in another potential avenue for future growth as it signs a wind power agreement in China.

According to analysts from RHB research, the wind power project agreement could mean more than the near-term for Ezion, as it could lead to new contracts in 1H16.

“We only expect one year of negative earnings growth, caused by the operational issues faced this year, and expect earnings to rebound in FY16 as its newly-delivered liftboats begin work. We view this agreement to be the next engine of growth for Ezion, with new contracts potentially being signed in 1H16,” RHB Research said.

Meanwhile, Ezion’s entry into the wind power market could be a fall back as it languishes in the depressed oil and gas sector.

“Markets are pricing stocks as though oil prices will stay under USD40/bbl for the long term. RHB expects oil prices to rebound to USD50/bbl next year, and USD60/bbl in 2016,” RHB Research added.

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.
