saw this on Business Times:
Sentiments have been gyrating lately. Investors expect an improvement quarter-on-quarter but are still worried about high steel costs,' a dealer said...
but steel costs will ease right...?tt's wad i heard from Business Times too tt it will ease end of 2008.. hope this won't affect its future profits too much as it co-relates into cost factor
hmmm...TalkingTigress...wad u said is also quite true..no surprises from this company...near term and from the past looks good...but looking forward future wise...not too sure when Citi analysts bring them down to sell
SINGAPORE, April 30 (Reuters) - Shipbuilding and repair firm Cosco Corp (Singapore) (COSC.SI: Quote, Profile, Research), controlled by China's biggest shipping company, said on Wednesday its quarterly profit doubled due to higher sales.
Singapore-listed Cosco, majority-owned by China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co, said net profit for the three months to end-March rose to S$83.9 million ($61.8 million) from S$41.9 million a year ago.
Cosco shares slumped 15 percent close to a one-year low a day after the firm said on April 9 that it was cancelling a $202 million rigbuilding project for Norway's Red Flag AS after the customer failed to pay a deposit.
Citi analysts downgraded Cosco to "sell" this month and slashed their target price, citing risks of more contract cancellations due to a global economic slowdown, spiraling steel prices, and a potential oversupply of bulk carriers. (Reporting by Daryl Loo and Tan Wei Xin)

SINGAPORE - Shares of Cosco Corp (Singapore) rebounded after strong profits posted by its Hong Kong-listed sister firm Cosco Pacific raised investors' optimism, dealers said.
The Chinese shipbuilding and repair firm, which will report its first-quarter earnings later on Wednesday, rose as much as 5.2 per cent to cancel out losses from the previous day.
Its shares hit an intraday high of $3.24 with over 15 million shares traded.
'Sentiments have been gyrating lately. Investors expect an improvement quarter-on-quarter but are still worried about high steel costs,' a dealer said.
Cosco Pacific, a container leasing firm also controlled by Cosco (Singapore)'s parent China Ocean Shipping (Group) Co, said on Tuesday its first-quarter net profit rose 15.6 per cent.
Global steel prices have seen new highs this year but are poised to ease towards the end of 2008, analysts said. -- REUTERS
