Sembcorp to be hit by power price wars in Singapore

But here's the silver lining.

According to CIMB, uncertainties over Singapore power margins are likely to persist through 2014.

Here's more:

Sembcorp Singapore’s 9M13 net profit fell 12% yoy, taking into account lower vesting contract prices (-10% yoy) and
pool-power prices (-24% yoy).

We have factored in zero growth for its Singapore operations in FY14. The silver lining is that spark spreads seemed to have stabilised in 3Q13, implying that margins could hold firm.

However, if Singapore contributions fall another 15% in 2014, the impact on group EPS is estimated at 4%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
