Fundamental Comparison for Key Component Stocks

In general, Yangzijiang has the best fundamental compare with other stocks in this Maritime Index, followed by Jaya Holding. Cosco & NOL fundamental are pretty weak at the moment. We need to monitor Cosco & NOL in the coming earning announcement to see whether there are any significant improvement in the financial. As Yangzijiang has the largest market capitalisation and the best fundamental in all the shipping stocks in Singapore, we shall take a cue from Yangzijiang’s earning and stock chart for any hint for recovery.

Yangzijiang Stock Chart

Yangzijiang broke out from a Falling Wedge and currently retracing to test the 200D SMA support. If Yangzijiang rebounds from this support level, the stock will start a medium up trend to the price target of $1.20 (Resistance of a Long Term Declining Line)

COSCO Stock Chart

COSCO may be finding the bottom (potential forming of Double Bottoms) but need to see whether COSCO can clear the 200D SMA resistance or not before talking about the trend reversal.

Will Shipping Stocks in 2014 Recover?

  • Post author:

2014 is Wooden Horse Year. Base on Fengshui and Numerology, stocks associate with water and transportation (Horse is used as transportation in the old days) should do well in 2014. This trigger me to do an analysis on the Maritime sector and shipping stocks in Singapore.

FTSE ST Maritime Index Chart

The index has started an uptrend (forming a Higher High and Higher Low) but need to see whether all the key component stocks are on up trend. If all big cap component stocks are showing the same up trend pattern, it means the shipping sector has recovered in 2014 as investors are back in this sector.

Yangzijiang Chart

YZJ is on uptrend and currently testing the uptrend support. This is the main reason that the FTSE ST Maritime Index is on up trend as YZJ has the largest weightage on the index. This is a FALSE alarm that Maritime or Shipping Industry has recovered.

COSCO Chart

Cosco is currrently forming a Symmetrial Triangle and looks like has bottoming up. Watch out for the breakout and move above the 200D SMA resistance. This is the reversal pattern.

NOL Chart

NOL is consolidating in a big Descending Triangle and looks like finding a bottom at about $1.00. Watch out for the breakout to upside for trend reversal.

Jaya Holding Chart

Jaya Holding chart is bullish. The stock may move higher if the whole industry recovers due to Jaya’s good fundamental and the valuation is not demanding.

In Summary

There is a chance that Shipping stocks will recover in 2014.

Things to watch out for:

  • Fundamentally Cosco & NOL must show improvement in their financial performance for subsequent 2 quarters.
  • Technically Cosco & NOL must breakout and move above the 200D SMA resistance.
  • As long as there are no shock news in terms of financial performance for Yangzijiang, Cosco & NOL, shipping stocks should recover and start an uptrend in 2014.
