Pursuant to my write-up on Swiber on 24 Dec 2010 where I mentioned that Swiber is likely to announce some contracts during the seasonal award season from Dec to Mar, Swiber finally started to announce some contracts since 10 Mar 2011.

This was the bid whereby Swiber has contention with India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation. Eventually, Swiber managed to win the contract.

Due to the market weakness and lack of contract wins between 20 May 2010 to 10 Mar 2011, Swiber’s share price weakened from $0.995 on 24 Dec 2010 to $0.805 on 23 Mar 2011. Nevertheless, according to Chart 1, it is likely that Swiber is in the midst of forming a double bottom pattern with the neckline at around $0.830.

Other indicators such as On Balance Volume (“OBV”), RSI, MACD etc exhibit bullish divergences from 24 Feb to 15 Mar. In other words, these indicators reported higher levels on 15 Mar then on 24 Feb, which is in contrast to the price chart for the same time period. (From Chart 1, you can see that price actually dips back to the same level at around $0.76 on 15 Mar vs the $0.755 on 24 Feb.) This is called bullish divergence which may potentially herald a change in trend.
I have put in the OBV, RSI and MACD charts in Charts 2A – 2C. They are sourced from Metastock as of 23 Mar 2011.

Conclusion – Likely to break neckline $0.83
Based on my personal interpretation of charts, it is likely that Swiber should be able to breach the neckline $0.83 in the short term. If it manages to do so, a measured upside target is approximately $0.90.
P.S: Average analysts’ target price (which is subject to change) is around $1.03.
This is an amended version which I have sent out to clients recently.
