Cosco is now going on a spree to capture its share (large share) of Offshore market. They are now affecting Sembcorp Marine, Vard and others. Once they have a large share of the Offshore market, soon Cosco order book is 14billion instead of Sembcorp Marine. At the moment Cosco is successfully achieving it without having lossess unlike  Vard yard in Brazil which price is too low that Brazillian workers and subcontractors are not willing to work and Vietnam yard which could not get orders.
CIMB says So What? - Once Cosco has large share of Offshore order book, they have much opportunity to further improve its profit margin, improve its design and anchor itself to be the prime Offshore structures manufacturer. Quantity brings economy of scale, experience and improvement in mass production. Like America has improved its Shipbuilding due to WWII constructing the Liberty Ship, turnover 7 days pership. CIMB expect Cosco to get 2billion orders for 2013, now Cosco Singapore order book to date 2013 is about 2billion already.
So what is it for a Investor. - once order book ramp up, profit although tight margin will also increase in  multiplication

always got different view, estimate of profit and number of x pe to pay. that is why got sellers got buyers ma.
one point not commonly talk about is the residual value of these yards. they own land facing sea which can be converted to house when they do not need the yard any more.
for now those yard with lots of money standby, able to innovate for more fuel efficient, larger size ship, will probably survive. after that competition should return to normal with many weaker yards gone. 
Analyst play by the Event and comment according to event. Since when you make money from following Analyst report? Why dont you check CIMB report issued in 2009 about Cosco and many others before Cosco went shooting up.
Well leave it to you, we are just sharing for the benefit of all investors.

CIMB TP : 0.46
The great famine
We were spot on with2Q13 net profit of S$12m, although this was helped by S$2.4m tax income, without which, it would have been an ugly set of results.We expect a consensus downgrade of earnings and target prices as Cosco continuesto disappoint.
* Offshore contributes, shipbuilding at an end
* Declining margin outlook
* Contract wins, so what?

Not yet, going to dump in. At the moment still spread with NOL, Yzj and Cosco for shipping.
Cosco looks repeat 2008 2009 path which means 200% profit next year for year after.

Within expectation. Next year you see the rise in profit.
 
It is better than Vard who is loosing and expect its Yard in Vietnam and Brazil to eat it alive. Yangzijiang good profit but not enough orders. So Cosco still the cheapest good Shipping counter and Cosco had not failed as expected.
