Why Cosco can't be happy yet with US$700m sealed deals in 2013
Profitability is still hazy.
According to CIMB, Cosco has won  US$700m worth of deals YTD. However, CIMB noted that contracts may no  longer excite the market as profitability is uncertain. 
Here's more:
Cosco has secured contracts from a  Singapore entity for the conversion of two semi-completed hulls to high-end floating accommodation valued at
over US$170m each. The first unit is effective. The units are scheduled for delivery 24 months after the contracts come into effect.
What
We Think
Including
the second unit of floating accommodation, Cosco has won about US$700m worth of
contracts YTD, or 35% of our US$2bn order target.
However, we think Cosco is able to meet our expectations as  Upstream recently reported that the  yard had signed a contract to build  two deep-water drillships for US-based newcomer X-Drill, costing US$650m-700m each.
We expect this contract to be formally announcedsoon, pending customer’s deposits and deposits and financingarrangements.
The offshore segment is barely profitable with gross margin at 8-10%, with very little room for error. Cost overruns and provisions are likely to wipe out any profits from these contracts.
As a state-owned enterprise, Cosco may be obligated to keep its current scale of operations and workforce, sacrificing profitability.
What
You Should Do
Until
Cosco achieves stronger-than-expected earnings for several quarters, we think
the stock is not worth the punt despite its recent weakness.

LIM & TAN
Cosco Singapore’s unit has won contracts from a
Singapore entity for the conversion of two semicompleted
hulls to high-end floating accommodation
units (“FAUs”) worth approximately US$170 million
each. The contract for the first unit is already effective,
whilst the second unit contract would be rendered
effective in six months’ times. This would bring its
year-to-date (YTD) order book to approximately
US$690 million, which is way behind management
guidance of US$2 billion for the full financial year.
