The best time to buy is when markets are down Are we now in bear markets? Fundamentals have not changed very much.  It is just sentiment ......when there is excessive fear......it is time to nibble a bit.

If there is a day when people feel too fed up to post or sick of the market......then it is the best time to accumulate....but I doubt such a day will happen.

 

I was watching other counters.

When i checked on COSCO, it was already S$1.52 / 3.

Missed the cherries.

I disagree that 4% profit drop is not important.

During this market sell down, most stocks are attractive.

If the market is to rebound, fundamentally strong stocks will rebound first, stronger and higher.

This 4% drop will delay Cosco rebound.

Why buy a fundamentally weak stock when you can buy a fundamentally strong stock at a low price.

To me, YangZiJiang is probability a better choice because it has a more consistent positive results.

This counter still holding up... BUT GROSS PROFIT DROP BY 32%!!! Hurry!!  What's everyone waiting for!! Sell Sell Sell!!! Sell to me!!!

 

honestly, you may not agree with what i'm saying but how much do you expect the profits to increase? this qtr's results is still mostly based on orders from 2008, i.e. revenue for new orders will only be reflected ard 2 years later. i would think the next couple of qtrs would be about the same as this qtr's. it's really not the immediate revenues that I would be interested in but what's beyond - new orders coming in and general outlook.

i definitely welcome anyone to sell off because of the "disappointing" Q1 results and i'll be at the bottom scooping up more of these shares. only time will tell who will be the eventual winner...

 

err...r u implying the subsequent qtr result u will see key words like "profit waned 32% from last qtr to present qtr...etc" but as long as still making profit is OK ?!??! :) wow....u r gd...accountant-trained? massaging financial report siah ! :D

shoemaker      ( Date: 06-May-2010 17:32) Posted: I believe it will not be spectacular, as the management will still be very cautious and would probably "ration" the revenues for future qtrs (hallmark of a good management team is to ensure long term growth of the company). But as long as it is not way too much below expectations it should not affect the price much. New orders and future prospects of the maritime industry would play a bigger role in the price of this counter... just my 2 cts

 

 "Gross profit waned 32.9% from $116.9 million in Q1 2009 to $78.5 million in Q1 2010"

WiLL  COSCO  RETRACE  tO  S$1.44 ?

S$1.44  [61.8%]

nickyng      ( Date: 06-May-2010 17:16) Posted:    haha...as expected !! ...read the key word "Gross profit waned 32.9% from $116.9 million in Q1 2009 to $78.5 million in Q1 2010"......   SINGAPORE (6 May 2010) – Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) mainboard-listed COSCO Corporation (Singapore) Limited (“COSCO” or the “Company”), a leading ship repair & marine engineering and shipping group, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended 31 March 2010. The Group achieved a 16.9% increase in turnover to $835.0 million in Q1 2010 boosted by higher revenue from shipbuilding and marine engineering projects in spite of lower revenue recognized from ship repair, ship conversion and dry bulk shipping. Turnover from shipyard operations climbed 20.3% to $800.1 million on the back of strong progressive revenue recognition for the Group’s ship building and marine engineering projects. Turnover from dry bulk shipping business slipped 30.7% to $32.0 million as expired long-term charters were leased on short-term basis at new lower rates. ha mainly due to lower dry bulk shipping charter rates and lower profit contributions from ship repair and conversion business amidst a difficult business environment. As a result, net profit attributable to equity holders of the Company decreased 4.3 % from $33.2 million in Q1 2009 to $31.7 million in Q1 2010. Mr. Jiang Li Jun, Vice Chairman and President of the Company said, “We are encouraged by our successful business expansion and resilient profit in another challenging quarter for the shipping industry. As the global recovery appears to be gaining some traction, our Group maintains a cautious outlook for the rest of 2010 as business, industry and private demand conditions remain uncertain, and various governments begin unwinding some of their stimulus measures.” The Group successfully delivered 8 dry bulk carriers in the 1st quarter of 2010. Of these, COSCO Dalian delivered 4 bulk carriers while COSCO Zhoushan and COSCO Guangdong shipyard delivered 2 bulk carriers each. The Group will continue to focus on deliveries while it upgrades its shipyard capabilities and efficiencies and control costs. 3 The Group has an order book of US$5.9 billion as of 31st March 2010 with progressive delivery up to 2012 which will keep the Group’s shipyards busy. This order book is subject to revision from any cancelation of orders or new orders that may arise. “Our Group will continue to leverage on the strength of our well-diversified business to remain competitive and to consolidate our strategic position in the industry.” Mr. Jiang added. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Group expects to stay profitable in 2010

 

I believe it will not be spectacular, as the management will still be very cautious and would probably "ration" the revenues for future qtrs (hallmark of a good management team is to ensure long term growth of the company). But as long as it is not way too much below expectations it should not affect the price much. New orders and future prospects of the maritime industry would play a bigger role in the price of this counter... just my 2 cts
