At the time of writing, the price of Brent Oil is USD69.16 and the price of Crude Oil is USD63.47. With the Brent Oil nearing USD70, I have to own an O & G related counter which still have room of rising further with good fundamental. I glaced through the list of O & G counters and I choose to buy ARMADA-C35.

PROSPECTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2017
(Q1 May 2017)
Oil prices continued to be low over the
first quarter of 2017, which could continue to dampen sentiment in the
market, and oil companies are likely to remain cautious over the
short-term. We have seen some positive signs in the FPO market as oil
companies consider bringing new projects on stream. The outlook for
exploration activities however remains more unclear, which will likely
delay any recovery in the OSV market. Despite this uncertainty, the
Group will continue to pursue new opportunities that would meet the
internal criteria for balanced risk and returns, and it remains focused
on improving efficiency and productivity in our business struture.
(Q2 August 2017)
As oil prices remain at depressed
level, we are cautious in the short term. We believe this is likely to
delay the recovery in new exploration activities, which in turn, will
negatively impact the OMS business. With the completion of the four
major conversion projects in 2017, we expect revenue to improve for the
remaining period of the financial year.
(Q3 November 2017)
Over the remainder of 2017, we expect
to see further developments in the current FPSO projects, which should
be positive for the Group’s FPO business revenue in 2018. For the OMS
business, we expect to see a decline inactivity in Q4 2017 due to winter
in the Caspian region and the monsoon season in South-East Asia, which
will likely result in lower earnings for this business during the last
quarter of 2017.
