Personally, I feel that Mercator's Management understands that there is nothing they can do to boost their profits besides cutting down on their interest and voyage expense. They have realized that the BDI will remain at very low rates till late 2011 when demand returns if the economy recovers. As such, their strategy for 2009-2011 had shifted towards maintaining profitability by servicing their core contracts - Vale, Cosco and Tata Power. These 3 contracts will ensure that it remains profitable till 2012. In the meanwhile, the rest of the vessels will be locked up in spot charters or TCE to cover their depreciation and voyage expenses. This is evident in their latest COA for Chanchal Prem whose TCE would barely cover its chartered-in and expense rates. Essentially Mercator is hoping that its fleet remains fully utilized though only half of them will be bringing in profits. It is a sound and sensible strategy. | ||||

The Management secured a 11-13 month time charter for its post-panamax at merely US$26.5K/day. This will cover its chartered-in cost hence allowing the vessel to operate at break-even cost for the rest of the year. It shows that the Management isn't bullish about any recovery on spot prices for the next 15 months. | ||||

aiyo become red again. :( queueing at 0.26 - 0.265 to load more. looking at the depressed selling today seems likely possible. Planning to hold if it does not recover in short term, is it dangerous? neve set cut loss for this one? |

So we will have to wait for a full shipping recovery before we will see improvements in mercator's profitability. But I fear by that time investors would have lost interest in mercator. | ||||

Hi All, The results were disappointing IMO. Its net profits were a lot lower than its past 2 quarters of US$10.2 million. This can be attributed to the delivery of its second post-panamax whose current spot rate is unable to cover its chartered-in rates and the expiration of its highly lucrative Northern China Shipping contract in Nov 09. Secondly, there is little signs of a sustainable recovery in freight rates and the BDI any time soon. But as earlier mentioned, this counter will not prosper till the economy recovers. It's poor results is in no fault of the company. The very fact it remains profitable is due to the Management's foresight in acquiring COAs prior the crisis. As long as the BDI remains above 2500, its profitable contracts with Vale, Tata Power and Cosco (the latter two contracts expire in mid 2012), will ensure its profitability till the economy recovers. I cannot be bullish about the company's prospect within the next 6 months - expiration of Mittal's contract and delivery of 3rd post-panamax vessel. But this counter will be a lot stronger after the crisis since it remains profitable throughout it unlike Courage Marine. I think the price might fall to 28 cents due to Dow and STI weakness. Fair value remains at 35 cents. Once BDI hits 5000, we will start to see its earnings fly. |

Me too would like to listen to some opinion from you gm89 too. :) Personally, i think it is for ppl to lose confidence from the counter to sell off for this news. company looks good in the mid-long run. I went into more positions for this counter on friday. Think its gonna pay off during march - april.
