The Star –
RHB Research reiterated its “buy” recommendation on Bumi Armada on improved earnings and cash flow visibility, underpinned by stable FPSO contributions masking weaker offshore marine service weakness. It said the group’s risk-reward profile looks attractive as the current 5.2x FY21 price-earnings and 0.5x FY20 prie-book value reflects an elevated 2.6 net gearing as at 3Q20. Bumi Armada could see higher FPSO earnings in 4Q20 on higher contributions from Armada Kraken following the completion of the scheduled maintanence procedure in September.

The Star –
CGS-CIMB Research has raised its earnings forecast for Bumi Armada’s FY20-FY22 by 8%-12% due to a longer depreciation period of its Armada Sterling FPSO. UOB Kay Hian Research pointed out that Bumi Armada’s loan default risk remains especially with the incoming tranche 1 repayment of debt of RM679mil by May 2021.
The Star –
Although Bumi Armada Bhd has received a contract extension worth billions of ringgit, analysts have mixed views due to the company’s debt level and the overall challenging outlook for the oil and gas industry. Maybank IB Research said Bumi Armada’s “highly” leveraged financials remain an ongoing concern and that it would need to de-gear through asset monetisation and reduction in expenses. While the research house said it was positive on Bumi Armada’s recent contract extension for its Armada Sterling FPSO (floating production storage and offloading vessel) in India, the rates are 15% lower than its previous contract.
The Edge –

The other contract received by its JVCo Shapoorji Pallonji Armada Oil & Gas Services Pte Ltd (India) (SPAOGSPL) is for operation and maintenance (O&M) and has an estimated total value of INR9.2 billion (approximately RM520 million).
The Star –
AmInvestment Bank Research has upgraded the oil and gas sector to “overweight” despite the ongoing volatility in crude oil prices as the downcycle may have hit a bottom. Bumi Armada registered stronger-than-expected results mainly from a steady revenue contribution from the group’s floating production, storage and offloading vessel Armada Kraken which had been operating sub-optimally over the past two years.
BURSA MALAYSIA –

BURSA MALAYSIA –
The Group generated revenue of RM552.6 million for Q1 2020, an increase of RM37.0 million compared to Q4 2019.
