Sedgman (SDM.AX) is an engineering company focusing on coal mine development. Floated at $1 in the go-go era of Australian mining boom in 2006, its share price quickly advanced to the historical high of $4.25 in a year time, which quickly collapsed to the lowest of $0.37 amid the global financial crisis.
Recently, the company aimed to diversify to other commodities such as gold and copper in response to the continued soften demand of coal which impacted the company profitability and hence its ability to pay dividend. The company's second profit warning last week (26/May/2014) notified the market a further loss expectation to the range of $5-7 million (US$4.5-6.3mil) that drives its share price to a low of $0.39.
I had purchased the share for over a year and my average is $0.6. Were it not for my unemployment, I would continue to purchase the share at this discounted price.
