The continued weakness in SKE is a mystery and gross over reaction.

Last 6 monthly indicated revenues up 10.6%, EBITDA up 12.3%, and underlying earnings per share up 11.3%. On the con side, gearing up from 21.9% to 31.4%.

Forecasts were reasonable, too, in spite of O&G/mining weakness. Cost savings of $15M for FY15 alone is of the order of the last profit.

I think investors need to be reminded that SKE isn't just an MS company, although thats certainly a large part of their work. Much of that is in the maintenance sector - so no matter what part of the cycle O&G is, for example, the maintenance work (pipelines, platform shutdowns, etc) must continue. SKE have a positive outlook for this sector.

A PE of 6 is ridiculously low: it is one of the lowest in its sector. There is obviously a truck load of emotion driving the SP, leaving good opportunity for those that are "greedy when others are scared"! Of course, a t/o is still on the cards if weakness persists, another good reason to accumulate on weakness.

Joke? even the final day before the ex date the sp still falls. does not it mean anything? I would expect a huge fall today.
