Cosco Corporation (Singapore) (COSC.SI)

 

Downgrade to Hold: Rig Building Plans Put on Hold

 

v Customer financing challenges — Our earlier thesis of Cosco capturing higher

 

value add rig business did not materialise. Customer Sevan Marine appears to

 

be having financing difficulties despite having secured charter contracts from

 

Petrobras. This has impacted Cosco's foray into the rig building segment.

 

v Revise Earnings Estimates — We have i) lowered our FY08E-10E new order

 

assumptions to S$1.6-1.8bn from S$3.5-4bn; ii) reduced FY08E-10E gross

 

margin sharply; iii) lowered our assumptions for bulk carrier charter rates by

 

16-53% on weaker BDI. Our FY08E-10E estimates are reduced by 17-43%.

 

v New TP S$1.50 based on SOTP Valuation — Our target price is based on i)

 

S$0.99/share for Ship Repair, Offshore & Marine business, based on ~6.5x

 

FY09E PER for the shipyard business (from 14.5x previously) to reflect its lack

 

of progress penetrating the rig building business – a 70% discount over our

 

valuation for Singapore O&M peers; ii) S$0.20/share for the Shipping business

 

in line with yard valuations, iii) net cash of S$0.31/share.

 

v Downgrade to Hold; Raise Risk Rating to “High” — We downgrade to “Hold”

 

from “Buy” as valuations appear to have priced in downside risks while positive

 

catalysts have yet to emerge. We increase the risk rating from Low to High Risk

 

for Cosco Corp, in line with our quantitative risk rating system.

Cosco..Another China Counter Being Beaten Down..Is It Justified?

We noted the beating of Cosco today. As of now 12.30pm ...trading between a range 0.94 - 0.76.Wow. We noted that DMG gave a sell call of this counter...stating some reasons and more reasons and much more reasons..qualitatively..which is true actually. We noted also BT had a report on it with Credit Suisse saying something about drifting lower.

But, let's take a step back..clear our heads a bit, relax..and think simply, shall we? Let's look at some quantitative figures....

Net Profit Margin: 18.71 % ( Ok still some room to maneurvure if demand sucks or supply sucks, compare again with Ferrochina.!)

Debt repayment ability (sorry we refuse to use jargon, bear with us ok!): CA less than CL. ( Hmm but its not that much of a shortfall. not like Ferrochina!)

Cash Flow Muscle: Pretty strong. As you see its Cash from Operations has been positive since 2003 and guess what..even after netting off capital expenditure ( the expenditure needed to sustain this business..in simplified terms) its still positive! ( Some people call it free cash flow..a jargon we prefer not to use) . This is a good sign!

SGDividends: Why are we wasting our time on this report? Cos here are SGDiviedends, we refuse to take Analysts reports seriously, Credit Suiise, DMG..blah blah blah... Look at the company's numbers first(MOST IMPT)..take care of its downside first..before using reasons like order book, economy slowdown,risk of order cancellation, delivery delays( which are of cos darn impt too) but kinda fluffy dont you think.

Our recommendation: Your Guess is as good as mine? Decide for yourself!
