Goldman Sachs says 4Q10 net profit was 44% above its expectations; “"the beat came mainly from its O&M division. The utilities unit (which investors care more about) reported net profits of $54 million,” which was 9% below its forecast but in line if excluding the boiler 5 writedown.
“We see the results as neutral for the share price, as the O&M beat was already known when Sembcorp Marine (S51.SG) reported...and that the utilities profits were in line with expectations.”
