Scomi again

Scomi reported a record earnings of 23.657 million. It's highest ever.

Problem?

Its nett debt position is now at 903.946 million.

Ahem!

Compare that to what I just wrote the other day... Regarding Scomi Group Again

  • Yes, the sales and net profit has increased a lot but do you see any creation of wealth?

    Back then, 03 Q2, Scomi Group was a simple stock earning 4.037 million for the quarter. But it's net debt was a mere 7.515. Very manageable.

    Today Scomi? 06 Q1, Scomi Group is now a complex Godzilla, earnings some 16.069 million for the quarter, which is about 4 times more than it earned back in 2003 Q2. Fantastic. Bravo. But just look at the cost of such engineering of wealth. Scomi Group is now in a nett debt positiion of $846.778 million.

    How?
