I think better stay out of Coastal. If you look, their margins have had a huge drop over the last few years. I think they are losing competitiveness to their peers.
Coastal seems to be another out-of-favour stock that comes to our radar recently. Compression in margins across both business segments are something that we need to worry about. However, we like the dynamic and superior management in this company. Hopefully the recurring income from FRU and JUGCU can offset the prolonged bad oil price environment. Happy Investing!
Looks like income from the JV MOU will only bear fruit in end 2017 so that's why the announcement hardly caused a ripple until the details are known. However today Brent oil crossed the $50/b mark with OPEC's moves to stabilise price. If this help increase the crude oil price steadily this would surely impact CCB's price in the northerly direction. Investors may start collecting this counter at this low price.
I just listened to CNBC new about Hanjin's Shipping Bankruptcy in Korea due to Masssive glut of ships. The over exuberance of commodity boom for the last 10 years caused overbuilding of ships!
Now with freight rates dropping many Shipping Companies are in deep trouble as well as ship builders.
As fellow i3 forumers I want to kindly warn you to switch out of Coastal to more defensive shares.
Korean Hanjin's has been known quite a while ago and the factor has already been reflected in the share price.
In the latest report the company was able to increase its revenue. This shows the strength of the management. Although the profit dropped but when the business weather is good I should think the profit would be improved too.
their venture into indonesia, will b bearing fruit soon. have good cash balance and attractive current ratio with low gearing. paid dividend recently. at this price close eyes and buy. you will make handsome duit! better than BRIM and buy me royal salute!
QR prospects said coastal group is still optimistic ... with current multi year low, price should already reflect the poor result...the one speculating on oil run away already very early...what happen to the little volume stuck here are leftover one picking the cheap...
Yup i agree with steveooikp. Not reasonable .Businees always need good oppoturnity to find the new profit.Although now market is low, but coastal still make money and have huge cash, why the price continiously drop? I really dun know wht is the mind on the seller
mplus analyst states today it is below estimate. 1 ship vs. 10 ships last yr...call for Sell valued only 1 from 1.60/share like no hope..seems like next yr will make 0 sales....analyst trigger nerve and a definite shock further short term investor to run away.
With the reported earnings coming below our forecast, we slashed our earnings estimates by 74.1% and 33.0% to RM43.4 mln and RM69.3 mln for FY17 and FY18 respectively, to reflect the poor sentiment in the OSV industry. We downgrade Coastal to SELL recommendation with a target price of RM1.05 (from RM1.65)Our target price is arrived by ascribing a target PER of 8.0x to our revised FY18 EPS estimate of 13.0 sen per share. At the target price of RM1.05, Coastal will be trading at PERs of 12.9x and 8.1x of FY17 and FY18 respectively, which is close to its closest peer - Nam Cheong Holdings Ltd.
that's why I say stupid trading house.... stupid comment.... this is a cash rich company, good management, with good order book on hand... why down 10 sen?
Order book replenishment risk persists. COASTAL’s order book stands at RM2.3b, of which RM837m is attributable to OSV fabrication spanning until CY17 while the remaining RM1.5b are the JUGSU charter contract. Meanwhile, COASTAL had received more requests from clients to defer vessel delivery during the quarter which will cast further weakness and uncertainty on its shipbuilding segment in view of prolonged vessel oversupply issue resulting from low offshore activities. We believe COASTAL most probably will allow these deferrals without any substantial penalty in order to preserve client relationships.

Anyone has any proper insight to this share?
