Reading everyday of depressed shipping should one make one anxious. When I joined my 1st ship in early 2002...shipping was boring. Frankly it was not the top choice for a job but it did pay in dollars. The sole motive for me was the money and maybe I didn't want to be another software engineer from India. Tankers were the good ships (solely because they paid more). Dry bulk gave more leisure time..they stayed on ports longer, with job at Bergesen touted as the prized catch..they used to carry…

Equity Bottom-Up

China Railway Construction Corp / Equity Bottom-Up

&nbsp;China Railway Construction Corp, or CRCC, reported mixed results for the year to Sept. 30 that fell around 10% short of our original revenue and net profit estimates. The miss was driven by slower-than-expected commencements in new infrastructure projects, in addition to a sharp decline in new overseas contracts wins.We continue to believe that CRCC&rsquo;s 2016-17 growth prospects remain intact, as the government has rolled out more infrastructure projects to help stimulate the economy. We maintain our fair value estimate of HKD 11, along with our very high uncertainty rating, and we consider the current share price to be fairly valued.Our nomoat rating remains unchanged, underpinned by fierce competition that leaves CRCC with little pricing power.Analyst:&nbsp;John Hu

China, land of coal and smog, is now increasing the generation of electricity from renewable sources faster than any other country, with more than 100 GWs a year of installed generating capacity from wind, a third of the world&rsquo;s total. Generating capacity is up tenfold in the last decade and three of the world&rsquo;s top ten turbine manufacturers are Chinese. Xinjiang&nbsp;Goldwind, the world&rsquo;s second largest wind turbine maker, seems poised to continue its growth story and be instrumental in shaping the Chinese wind energy market.

Equity Capital Markets

China Railway Signal & Communication / Equity Capital Markets

China Rail Signal &amp; Communication (CRSC) plans to raise US$1.4-2.0bn through issuance of primary shares.At the outset the past and projected growth for the company looks appealing and the book already being covered by the cornerstone and anchor investors makes the IPO a sure shot to float despite the turbulent markets. However, valuation leaves much to be desired as there are larger and also cheaper stocks available to invest in the same overall theme. In addition, future growth for CRSC is expected to come from a lot of segments other than the core business of new high speed rail (HSR) orders, which in itself raises concerns on the company's ability to deliver the projected growth. Moreover, the company's involvement in the 2011 accident, should lead to it trading at a discount to other rail related stocks and not at a premium, in our view.We would avoid the deal.

Yes there are a few good China companies out there. In general a company like China Merchants has a good long term theme going for it (see April notes). But in shipping there are more badly run companies than good ones.&nbsp; What follows is an update on a piece I did for a specialized shipping publication following a long line of pieces I have put out delving into COSCO and CSCL corporate governance nightmares over the years. The truth is investors were ripped off on valuations from day one, with bankers helping as a result of shoddy work. Seasoned investors of course are not surprised to find this out. But what still amazes after so many years is the extent of mis-deeds and quite often the lack of interest to delve further into the problems. Feedback I've gotten so far are industry insiders agreeing with the extent of the corruption, and an expression of frustration they could not discuss more openly (although I think the spirit of Xi Jinping's exhortations would support further examination. ... recently Reuters and others did look into new facets of breakdowns at CSCL and COSCO).
