A REBOUND in floating production contract awards is in sight but this being fuelled more by cost reductions, say analysts, raises the possibility of offshore and marine (O&M) stock valuations decoupling from oil prices moving forward.
Data released by the Singapore Exchange in early March showed a high correlation of 0.9x between marine and offshore engineering (MOE) share prices and oil prices for the surveyed period from September 2010 through to December 2016.
