Does csl123 or other VBs has any insight on what was impact of SIA woes and on-wing maintenance (which is the JV)?
1) Acquire companies using a combination of share swap/debt. The stock is trading at high PEs.
2) Cut its cost structure through a reduction of benefits, staff retrenchment.
3) Improve productivity through business process re-engineering.
I do not think SIA is in trouble, since it is given a life line by low oil prices. I think profit for the next year will be very good, likely to be one of the best in the past ten years.
Hi csl
Actually I am more keen on the Ex-post analysis on whether the on-wing maintenance that we discussed was really hitting their earnings or just unsubstantiated concern.
As discussed in the SIA thread, SIA has been in trouble for the past few years from branding to positioning to TigerAir. Oil price is not something they can control but competitive advantage is. And their moat has more or less been eroded away. Ironically focusing on cost cutting can't build a moat in a service industry
