Cosco turned up in my scan for potential breakouts this week. Respect of support at 1.10 and recovery of 63-day Twiggs Momentum above zero would confirm a primary up-trend.

I find COSCO ALWAYS move in the exact opposite direction of what analysts report say about this stock.
Past few years observed so many time whenever analysts say SELL, give tp 60-70 cts, cosco rallied o $1.80ish instead.
And when analysts say BUY give tp $2.30-$2.75, cosco starts dropping to below $1.
So analysts now say underperform, maybe its time to buy some to keep for mid-term gains again perhaps
Shipbuilding Torpedo coming -
Cosco  Corp expects further drop in newbuilding prices
There may be greater pressure on the prices of new vessels as our customers may be reluctant to commit to new orders for vessels in the short term. The rising cost pressure may also affect our operating margins though cushioned by our improving productivity, said Wu Zi Heng, vice chairman and president of Cosco Corp.
The gloomy business outlook has hit Singapore-listed Cosco Corp which reported a 44% plunge in net profit for its financial year 2011.
Net profit for the Chinese-based ship repair, shipbuilding and marine engineering and dry bulk shipping group fell to S$139.67m ($111.46m) in 2011 compared to S$248.84m in 2010. Revenue, however, rose 8% to S$4.16bn.
The plummet in net profit was blamed largely on lower profit contributions from dry bulk shipping and the higher costs incurred in shipyard operations.
As at 31 December 2011, the group's orderbook stood at $6.1bn with progressive deliveries up to first half 2014.
Wu added that Cosco Corp will enhance its offshore marine engineering offerings to reach out to a broader customer base. Its orderbook in this sector includes one deepwater drillship, one semi-submersible barge, one wind turbine installation vessel, one shuttle tanker, two semi-submersibles, two jack-up rigs, three Sevan 650 drilling units, and three tender rigs.
Bo kena short down lehh. Sounded like ship building is better then shipping, is shipping increasing it rate..?.

Cosco: Results on low end of expectations but in-line.
FY11 rev at $4.2b +7.8% yoy with net profit $139.7m -43.8% yoy. This included a expected construction loss of $150.4m. Single margins remained in the single-digits with costs up due to the learning curve, 1st time jobs and overall reassessment of costs of orders.
Increase in rev was due to higher contributions from ship building and marine engrg projects and lower net profit was attributed to lower profitability of dry bulk shipping and higher costs in shipyard ops. Shipyard operations increased 10.1% to $4.1b in FY2011 with 34 bulk carriers delivered. Rev from dry bulk fell 52.9% to $66.8m due to lower charter rates.
Co's orderbook stands at US$6.1b with deliveries up to 1H2014. Co maintains a cautious outlook due to demand concerns and in light that IMF has lowered forecast for global growth from 4.0% to 3.3%. Appreciation of Yuan, China's interest rates, rising wages and raw material cost may affect co's operating margins. Cosco is also targeting 60% of new orders from the offshore segment in 2012.
3c dividend declared. Cosco is trading at 19.7x trailing P/E
Deutsche maintains Hold with TP$1.10
Nomura maintains Reduce with TP$0.69
JP Morgan maintains Neutral with TP$1.10
The immediately preceding FY = 4 cents
The current FY = 3 cents
3 cents or 7 cents?
not clear.
