Robotics-Driven Services Co. Posts 20% Revenue Gains in Q3

Source: Streetwise Reports  (10/28/22)

Shares of Oceaneering International Inc. traded 16.5% higher yesterday after the diversified offshore engineering services and manufacturing firm reported Q3/22 financial results that included a 20% YoY increase in revenue and improved operating performance and profitability across all its business units.

After U.S. markets closed Wednesday, Oceaneering International Inc. (OII:NYSE), a global provider of engineered products, services, and robotic solutions for the offshore energy, aerospace, defense, and manufacturing industries, announced financial results for the third quarter of 2022 ended September 30, 2022.

The company reported that for Q3/22, it posted total revenue of US$559.7 million, compared to US$466.8 million in Q3/21. The firm provided a breakdown of revenue by business segment and indicated that its subsea robotics unit accounted for US$169.4 million, manufactured products were US$94.0 million, offshore projects group US$153.0 million, integrity management and digital solutions US$58.5 million and aerospace and defense technologies posted US$84.8 million.

Oceaneering International advised that for Q3/22, it recorded a net income of US$18.3 million, or US$0.18 per share, versus a net loss of US$7.4 million, or a net loss of US$0.07 per share in Q3/21.

The company added that adjusted net income for Q3/22 was US$23.7 million, or US$0.23 per share, and noted that the adjustments were the result of US$1.1 million in pre-tax adjustments related to foreign exchange losses and another US$4.4 million in discretionary tax adjustments pertaining to asset valuation and tax allowances.

The company stated that during Q3/22, it generated cash flow from operations of US$85.9 million, had a free cash flow of US$66.6 million, and ended the quarter with US$428 million in cash on its balance sheet.

The firm pointed out further that during Q3/22, its fleet of 250 remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) achieved a utilization rate of 67%, and each, on average, contributed revenue of US$8,468 per day. The company added that as of September 30, 2022, its Manufactured Products division had a backlog of US$365 million.

Oceaneering International’s President and CEO Roderick A. Larson commented, “Our third-quarter results were driven by improved offshore activity and pricing, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico, which ticked up further during the quarter. We produced adjusted consolidated EBITDA of US$77.6 million, which exceeded our guidance and consensus estimates.”

“Offshore activity drove significant operating improvements in our energy businesses, which were led by our Subsea Robotics (SSR) and Offshore Projects Group (OPG) segments. In addition, increased manufacturing throughput led to improved operating margins in our Manufactured Products segment. We also saw a meaningful recovery in our government-focused businesses after experiencing the effects of negative timing during the second quarter of 2022,” Larson added.

The firm stated that it expects that revenues in Q4/22 will decline slightly or be on par with those registered in Q3/22. The company indicated that it estimates that the manufactured products group and ADTech revenues and profitability will be higher but will be offset by slightly lower revenues and operating profitability in its SSR, OPG, and IMDS segments, in part due to seasonality.

Oceaneering indicated that for FY/22, it estimates that adjusted EBITDA will be in the range of US$215-240 million.

The company advised that for FY/23, it anticipates higher levels of activity and improved performance in each of its primary business areas led by its SSR and OPG segments. The firm said that for FY/23, it expects consolidated EBITDA of US$260-310 million and free cash flow of over US$100 million.

The company indicated that going forward, it remains focused on safety, financial discipline, free cash flow generation, debt management, and growth. The firm stated that it will continue to look for opportunities to increase its prices and improve margins to benefit shareholders.

Oceaneering is a global technology firm based in Houston, Texas, that provides underwater, on land, and in space engineered services and products and robotic solutions to the offshore energy, aerospace, defense, entertainment, and manufacturing industries. The company employs more than 10,000 people and has operations in 24 countries.

The firm’s Subsea Robotics business segment offers remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) that are used to support offshore oil and gas drilling and vessel-based services such as subsea surveying, installation, construction, inspection, maintenance, and repair. The company fleet includes approximately 250 work-class ROVs. Its Manufactured Products segment manufactures distribution and connection systems, pipeline connections, and other hardware and repair systems for the energy industry.

Through its Offshore Projects Group, Oceaneering offers subsea installation, intervention, inspection, maintenance, and repair services, including ROV workover control systems and project management and engineering. The firm also provides asset integrity management, software, and analytical solutions for the bulk cargo maritime and energy industries through its Integrity Management & Digital Solutions segment. Lastly, the company’s Aerospace and Defense Technologies segment supports U.S. government agencies with engineering and related manufacturing assistance for use in defense and space exploration efforts.

Oceaneering International started yesterday with a market cap of around US$1.13 billion, with approximately 100.26 million shares outstanding and a short interest of about 4.4%. OII shares opened almost 9% higher yesterday at US$12.22 (+US$0.99, +8.82%) over the previous day’s US$11.23 closing price. The stock traded yesterday between US$12.12 and US$13.92 per share and closed for trading at US$13.08 (+US$1.88, +16.47%).

Expert Says Buy Pharma Co. Stock ‘as Soon as Possible’

Source: Clive Maund  (10/25/22)

Algernon Pharmaceuticals has entered into a clinical trial agreement with Yale and caught expert Clive Maund’s attention. In light of this, Maund reviews the company’s chart to tell you when he believes you should buy its stock.

Algernon Pharmaceuticals Inc. (AGN:CSE; AGNPF:OTCQB; AGN0:XFRA) got sold down further than we expected, making an unexpected further drop last week that took it down close to a trendline connecting a series of lows.

However, it now looks set to reverse to the upside, especially as this morning it came out with the news that it has entered into a clinical trial agreement with Yale University for a DMT Phase 2 Depression Study.

The fact that it has only 2 million shares in issue improves its potential for rapid recovery.

Anyone holding should therefore stay long, and it is rated a Buy again here. Those interested should aim to buy it as soon as possible after the open this morning.

Algernon Pharmaceuticals Inc. closed at CA$2.90, $2.09 on October 21, 2022.

On H4, the quotes have broken through the 200-day Moving Average and are now resting above it, which indicates an uptrend. The RSI is testing the the support level. Currently, we should expect the quotes to rise over 7/8 (96.88) and then grow to the resistance level of 8/8 (100.00). The scenario can be cancelled by a breakaway of 6/8 (93.75) downwards. In this case, the quotes may drop to the support level of 5/8 (90.62).

The Analytical Overview of the Main Currency Pairs on 2022.10.28

By JustMarkets

The EUR/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.0073
  • Prev Close: 0.9964
  • % chg. over the last day: -1.01 %

The European Central Bank has increased the interest rate by 0.75%. As a result of this step, the refinancing rate reached 2%. This is the most massive rate hike in the history of the ECB. In addition to the expected rate hike, the ECB also announced changes to the target long-term refinancing (TLTRO) operations in terms of the applied interest rate and earlier repayment dates. On the other hand, the balance sheet reduction was postponed until the December meeting.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 0.9969, 0.9897, 0.9873, 0.9835, 0.9755, 0.9601
  • Resistance levels: 1.0054, 1.0111, 1.0162, 1.0230

From the technical point of view, the trend on the EUR/USD currency pair on the hourly time frame is bullish. The price began a corrective movement and fell below the moving lines. The MACD indicator is in the negative zone, but sellers’ pressure is weak. Under such market conditions, buy trades should be considered from the support level of 0.9969 or 0.0897, but with additional confirmation in the form of reverse initiative. Sell deals can be considered from the resistance level of 1.0054, but also with confirmation.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks down through the support level of 0.9834 and fixes below it, the downtrend will likely resume.

The GBP/USD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.1611
  • Prev Close: 1.1557
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.47 %

The British pound is firmer than the euro right now. Investors’ confidence in the “pound” is returning amid serious preparations of the new government to form a new budget and a plan to get out of recession. Most likely, it will be achieved by cutting government spending, which will increase unemployment. However, this step is necessary because otherwise, the British economy will have a lot more problems in the form of further reduction of production, business activity, and the real estate market to recession levels.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.1467, 1.1338, 1.1172, 1.1093, 1.0915, 1.0817
  • Resistance levels: 1.1698, 1.1816, 1.1901

From the technical point of view, the trend on the GBP/USD currency pair on the hourly time frame is bullish. The price is trading at the level of the moving averages. The MACD indicator has become inactive, and the buyers’ pressure remains, but now the price is correcting. Under such market conditions, buy trades can be considered from the support level of 1.1467 or 1.1337, but better after confirmation. Sell trades are best to look for on intraday time frames. The nearest resistance level is 1.1698, but also better with confirmation in the form of a reverse initiative.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks down of the 1.1172 support level and fixes below it, the downtrend will likely resume.

The USD/JPY currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 146.32
  • Prev Close: 146.26
  • % chg. over the last day: -0.04 %

The Japanese yen hit a 3-week high ahead of the Bank of Japan meeting. Currency intervention and weakness in the dollar helped the yen strengthen temporarily. Nevertheless, the Bank of Japan held another interest rate meeting today and maintained its super soft policy to support the fragile economy. That is the reason why analysts are skeptical about strengthening the yen, as the US Fed is still in a tightening cycle, while the BoJ has left policy unchanged.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 144.91, 144.19, 143.00
  • Resistance levels: 148.79, 147.75, 148.64, 148.64, 150.00, 151.05

From the technical point of view, the medium-term trend on the currency pair USD/JPY has changed to bearish. The price is trading at the level of the moving averages. The MACD indicator has become inactive, and there is a slight buying pressure. Under such market conditions, buy trades can be sought on intraday time frames from the support level of 145.88 or 144.90. Sell deals can be searched from the 147.75 resistance level, but only with additional confirmation. The level of 146.79 has already been tested twice and is likely to be broken by the price.

Alternative scenario: If the price fixes above 150.00, the uptrend will likely resume.

The USD/CAD currency pair

Technical indicators of the currency pair:
  • Prev Open: 1.3559
  • Prev Close: 1.3565
  • % chg. over the last day: +0.04 %

The Canadian dollar is a commodity currency and depends not only on the monetary policy of the Bank of Canada but also on the performance of the dollar index and oil prices. The dollar index strengthened yesterday while oil prices also continued to grow. As a result, the Canadian dollar is trading in a narrow range, as it was affected by two opposing factors. Overall, the outlook for oil remains on the upside, while the dollar index is fundamentally close to a reversal. In the medium term, USD/CAD quotes may decline significantly.

Trading recommendations
  • Support levels: 1.3541, 1.35000, 1.3454
  • Resistance levels: 1.3597, 1.3678, 1.3795, 1.3855, 1.3968

From the point of view of technical analysis, the trend on the USD/CAD currency pair is bearish. The price is trading at the level of the moving averages. The MACD indicator is in the negative zone, but there is a divergence, indicating the sellers’ weakness. The best way to sell is to consider the resistance level of 1.3678, but only after additional confirmation in the form of a reverse initiative. Buy trades should be considered on the lower time frames from the support level of 1.3541, but it is better after confirmation.

Alternative scenario: if the price breaks out and consolidates above the resistance level of 1.3855, the uptrend will likely resume.

Week Ahead: Hawkish Fed, robust jobs report should fuel Dollar rebound

By ForexTime

The US Federal Reserve (Fed) is widely expected to hike its benchmark rates by another 75 basis points (bps) yet again in the new month.

However, how high the US central bank can ultimately raise interest rates would depend on the state of the economy, of which the jobs data is a key indicator.

The upcoming Fed policy meeting, along with the latest US nonfarm payrolls report, will be of utmost importance in the week ahead, also featuring these scheduled data releases and events

Monday, October 31

  • JPY: Japan September industrial production, retail sales, October consumer confidence
  • AUD: Australia September retail sales, October inflation
  • CNH: China October PMIs
  • EUR: Eurozone 3Q GDP and October inflation, ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane speech, Germany September retail sales
  • Brent: OPEC releases 2022 World Oil Outlook

Tuesday, November 1

  • AUD: Reserve Bank of Australia policy decision
  • CNH: China October Caixin manufacturing PMI
  • GBP: UK October manufacturing PMI (final)
  • CAD: Canada October manufacturing PMI (final)
  • USD: US October manufacturing PMI (final), ISM manufacturing

Wednesday, November 2

  • NZD: New Zealand 3Q unemployment rate
  • JPY: Bank of Japan September meeting minutes
  • EUR: Eurozone October manufacturing PMI (final); Germany September external trade and October unemployment
  • USD: FOMC rate decision
  • US crude: EIA weekly oil inventory report

Thursday, November 3

  • AUD: Australia September external trade, October PMIs (final)
  • CNH: China October composite and services PMIs
  • EUR: Eurozone September unemployment, ECB President Christine Lagarde speech
  • GBP: Bank of England rate decision
  • USD: US weekly initial jobless claims, October ISM services index

Friday, November 4

  • EUR: Eurozone September PPI, Germany September factory orders, ECB President Christine Lagarde speech
  • USD: US October nonfarm payrolls, Boston Fed President Susan Collins speech
  • CAD: Canada October unemployment rate

 

With next week’s hike already well-telegraphed, markets are already honing their attentions to what Fed Chair Jerome Powell might say during Wednesday’s press conference about potential policy adjustments to be made at the Fed’s December meetings and beyond.

Assuming we indeed see yet another 75bps hike next week, that would bring the upper bound of the Fed benchmark rates up to 3.75%.

  • Markets currently believe that such a move (75bps hike next week) would put the largest chunks of the Fed rate hikes behind us.
  • At present, markets also expect that US interest rates would peak around 4.8% in Q2 2023.
  • That suggests just another couple of relatively smaller 50bps hikes left in the Fed’s pipeline before this rate-hiking cycle is over (again, assuming that a 75bps hike does indeed materialize next week).

The above essentially comprises the “dovish pivot” narrative that traders and investors have been testing at various intervals since the summer.

This latest iteration of that “dovish pivot” narrative has prompted a softening of the US dollar, with the equally-weighted USD index falling away from its post-pandemic high and bounce off its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) as key support.

 

Ultimately, how high US interest rates would go could ultimately depend on the incoming economic data.

And the incoming US nonfarm payrolls (NFP) report is expected to remind investors of the resilience evident in the jobs market of the world’s largest economy, potentially paving the way for more Fed rate hikes.

Here’s what economists are predicting for the upcoming US jobs report:

  • Headline NFP figure: 200,000 jobs added in October; lower than September’s 263k.
  • Unemployment rate: a slight uptick to 3.6% compared to the 3.5% in the month prior.

A lower-than-expected headline NFP figure, or a higher-than-expected unemployment rate, could bolster the “dovish pivot” narrative.

That should, in turn, prompt the USD Index to unwind more of its year-to-date gains and retest the early-September peak around 1.22 for support, with stronger support set to follow around its 100-day SMA at 1.21.

However, if hiring in the US economy comes in better than expected, being able to withstand the Fed rate hikes that have been ongoing since March, that could restore this USD Index back on a path back closer to its mid-October high above 1.29 as the “dovish pivot” proponents are forced to forego their expectations for a while longer.

And of course, much of the USD Index’s performance in the coming week should rely heavily on the latest policy clues due out of the FOMC policy statement and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference.

If the Fed signals that it remains hell bent on squashing red-hot US inflation by sending US interest rates past the market-forecasted 4.7% peak, such hawkish policy clues should reinvigorate dollar bulls.

 

While this Week Ahead article has been rather US-centric, also note that the Bank of England is in action at the onset of November. With central banks on either side of the pond in action in the coming week, that sets up some potential volatility for GBPUSD.

So be sure to check back in on Monday when we publish our regular Trade of the Week article.

Amazon crashed the Nasdaq. The US GDP rises after 2 quarters of decline

By JustMarkets

The US stock indices traded yesterday without a single trend. At the close of the stock market yesterday, the Dow Jones Index (US30) increased by 0.61%, while the S&P 500 Index (US500) lost 0.61%. The NASDAQ Technology Index (US100) fell by 1.63% on Thursday.

After two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, the US economy grew by 2.6% in the third quarter. However, analysts believe the outlook is deteriorating quickly as the cumulative effect of a 300 basis point rate hike is hurting business activity, and the Fed will continue to raise rates through the end of the year to ensure that inflation targets are met. The biggest drop in performance has been in the real estate sector, as home sales have fallen month to month. This component reduced the overall GDP figure by 1.4% in the third quarter, indicating that the housing market is moving from a period of excess demand to a period of moderate oversupply.

The US durable goods orders rose in September, but the data also showed signs that the growth momentum is decreasing. Durable goods orders are reported in nominal terms by the government, so it is difficult to determine the impact of inflation on the data. Economists point out that surveys of the Federal Reserve’s regional district banks point to a decline in business investment, prompting talk of a recession.

Shares of tech giant Amazon (AMZN) fell more than 20% in after-hours trading after the company released its third-quarter earnings report, with revenue and guidance falling short of analysts’ consensus expectations. The company pointed out that Europe is likely to be its hardest-hit region during the holiday season, with Germany and the UK being its biggest markets after the US.

Apple (AAPL) beat analysts’ expectations by posting record revenue and earnings per share. Apple said its active installed device base hit a record high for all major product categories. But despite the good report, the company’s stock declined in the evening session.

Caterpillar (CAT) gave investors optimism by reporting better-than-expected quarterly results. Rising prices and increased sales support the heavy equipment company’s growth.

Equity markets in Europe mostly rallied yesterday. Germany’s DAX (DE30) increased by 0.12%, France’s CAC 40 (FR40) lost 0.51%, Spain’s IBEX 35 (ES35) added 0.64%, and the British FTSE 100 (UK100) closed Thursday in plus 0.25%.

The European Central Bank raised its interest rate by 0.75%. As a result of this step, the refinancing rate reached 2%. This is the biggest rate hike in the history of the ECB. In addition to the expected rate hike, the ECB also announced changes to the current operations of the Targeted Long-Term Refinancing (TLTRO) in terms of the applied interest rate and earlier maturity dates. But the balance sheet reduction was postponed to the December meeting.

According to experts, the gold market is forming conditions for medium-term growth. Firstly, it is connected with the fact that the US Federal Reserve will soon finish the cycle of rate increases, and the pressure on the gold industry will decrease. Secondly, such markers like Gold miners AD Line and GDX to GLD ratio have long stopped falling and are on the reverse point. Third, gold has a strong seasonal factor ahead – December and January have been the best months of the year for the past 10 years.

Oil prices decreased on Friday as China, the world’s biggest oil importer, imposed new Covid blocks in several cities as the number of infections began to rise again.

Asian markets traded flat yesterday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 (JP225) decreased by 0.32% for the day, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng (HK50) ended the day up 0.72%, and Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 (AU200) increased by 0.50%.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) kept interest rates at record lows as expected on Friday. The central bank kept its short-term interest rate target at negative -0.1% and said in a statement that it would continue to target 10-year bond yields at 0%. But the statement also indicates that inflation is likely to rise in the near term as the Japanese economy struggles with rising commodity costs and supply chain problems. The Сentral Bank expects CPI inflation to be 3% by the end of the year, up from its previous forecast of 2.3%. But inflation is also expected to fall to about 1.5% in 2023 and 2024. Data released a little earlier showed that annual inflation in Tokyo reached a 33-year high of 3.4% in October. Japan is slowly beginning to add up to the conditions for abandoning ultra-low interest rates.

S&P 500 (F) (US500) 3,807.30 −23.30 (−0.61%)

Dow Jones (US30) 32,033.28 +194.17 (+0.61%)

Building subsidized low-income housing actually lifts property values in a neighborhood, contradicting NIMBY concerns

By Anthony W. Orlando, California State Polytechnic University, Pomona 

The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work.

The big idea

Building multiple publicly subsidized low-income housing developments in a neighborhood doesn’t lower the value of other homes in the area – and in fact can even increase their worth, according to a new peer-reviewed study I co-authored.

For the study, we looked at 508 developments financed through the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program and built in the Chicago area from 1997 to 2016. We then examined their influence on more than 600,000 nearby residential sales, using data from local property assessments and tax records. We chose Chicago because of its size, well-established neighborhoods, substantial amount of subsidized housing developments, well-documented racial and ethnic segregation, pockets of persistent and concentrated poverty and excellent data coverage. While some readers may have pictures of dilapidated buildings in their minds, the projects we looked at were generally well built and well maintained.

We found that, relative to comparable homes in other neighborhoods, average home prices jumped by 10% within a quarter-mile of the first affordable housing development that was built in a neighborhood and 2% within a quarter-mile over a 15-year period or through 2016. To ensure we were isolating the effect of the low-income housing program, we also looked at preexisting market trends to make sure neighborhoods that showed the faster price growth weren’t already growing at a faster rate before the low-income housing.

What was more striking to us, however, is that additional developments in the same area generally further increased housing prices. Building two more developments increased prices by a total of 3 additional percentage points, on average, within a quarter-mile and 4 percentage points over the next quarter-mile. In other words, a neighborhood within a quarter-mile of all three developments saw gains of 13% on average over the period.

These additional effects are important because low-income housing projects are disproportionately concentrated geographically, especially in lower-income areas.

We also found that these effects occurred regardless of whether it was a low- or high-income neighborhood and no matter its racial composition.

While other studies have previously shown Low-Income Housing Tax Credit developments typically have positive effects on surrounding property values, ours was the first to look at the impact of several projects in one neighborhood.

Why it matters

Homeowners are often worried that the development of publicly subsidized housing in their neighborhoods will lower the value of their homes.

The primary concerns seem to be that such housing developments will lead to higher levels of crime and poverty, as well as requiring wealthier residents to pay higher costs for services and education, according to a 2012 study of “not in my back yard,” or NYMBY, opposition. These concerns are particularly acute when multiple projects are clustered closely together, reminding many Americans of public housing projects that concentrated poverty and crime in the mid-20th century.

But today’s affordable housing developments are different than those of the past, which were often cheaply built and poorly maintained. The Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program supports private developers who have an incentive to build high-quality buildings and implement good property management.

Although local homeowners often oppose these buildings, our results show that they are less cause for concern than people may think.

What still isn’t known

We didn’t measure the effects of the new developments on area rental prices, so we don’t know how the subsidized rental units affected rents in unsubsidized properties nearby. That is a subject for future research. Similarly, while we demonstrated statistically that the developments themselves catalyzed the positive changes in values, we did not examine which particular aspects of the developments were the primary drivers of that change.

What’s next

We’re currently finishing up our follow-up study in Los Angeles – another large city but with very different dynamics from Chicago’s. Our findings, which are currently undergoing peer review, show markedly similar effects, though we found the biggest gains in property values after multiple projects in a neighborhood.

We also are examining whether the observed property value effects differ when factoring in the size of the building, the presence of market-rate units and the type of developer.

RoboForex becomes the Official Sponsor of the South American Football Club Cienciano

October 27, 2022

Belize City, Belize

RoboForex, a leading global provider of services on financial markets, announces to become an official sponsor of the professional football club Cienciano. Cienciano is a professional football club based in Cusco, Peru that currently plays in the Peruvian Primera División. The contract is for the period 2022-2023.

RoboForex has among its priorities the realization of works with which it can demonstrate social responsibility. Without geographic limits, and without distinction of areas of concern (sports, health, environment, community, education…) this company tries to give back to society all the trust and solidarity that have been granted to it since the beginning of its operations. Recently, a part of this social responsibility has taken shape in Peru.

In this Latin American nation, RoboForex has built a productive and harmonious link with a football team that enjoys well-deserved and traditional popular support. Club Cienciano has to its credit two international trophies that place it on the world football stage. Born in Cusco on July 8, 1901, it is considered one of the oldest football clubs in the country and is called “America’s Dad”. Its stadium is named after a Spanish-Inca writer known as Inca Garcilaso de la Vega.

The outstanding trajectory of this club and its deep-rooted fans are the reasons why RoboForex participates in a sponsorship agreement that favours the training and performance of Cienciano football. Initially, this sponsorship agreement will be in force until 2023. It is expected that RoboForex’s contribution will help the club to increase its potential and win every match and every championship. In addition, it is projected that the city of Cusco and Peru as a whole will obtain important benefits that go beyond sports. RoboForex, in alliance with Club Cienciano, intends to carry out social works that have an impact on the welfare of several communities. Indeed, on September seventeenth of this year, two hundred football balls were donated. This donation benefited schools in Cusco that need support to develop their sports activities.

In the officialization activity the CBO of the RoboForex company in Latin America Sami Otman has expressed, “We have been captivated by Peru, by its people, its culture, its history and by the great club that is Cienciano. Which reaffirms the commitment RoboForex has made to the club and to all of Peru”

The cheers that Peruvians dedicate to their football club will encourage RoboForex’s performance as a financial company with social responsibility.
