Why EXPO should move ?
 
When company earns around 4 Bn for quarterly in last year, EXPO has hit all time high price of Rs.64.60.
With the increase of Freight rates during 2021 (rates are almost double with compare to year 2020), mostly EXPO can generate more.
Therefore, mostly EXPO should break earlier high and can reach above.
 
Just check the CSE daily and we can see 1 Million EXPO shares are crossing at 54.90. This is another good sign.
CROSSINGS 16.07.2021 :
EXPOLANKA   1,000,000 x   54.90 =   54,900,000.00
 
Q1 of 2021 result presentation for parent company (SG HOLDINGS) is due on 30th July 2021 & its share price almost up 25% within two months (JY 2400 to JY 3015). This is another good indication.
 
EXPO’s main Revenue/profit generator is North America’s trade line. Mainly They operates based with 04 main cities. Just going thru its recent market report and all indications giving for further Freight rates uptrend even next quarter.
 
CHICAGO
Ocean Freight Rates - There is an increase in rates. FAK Spot Premium Rates continue to increase for the 1st half of July with no indication of a stabilization/decrease. EFL is working closely with all carrier partners to provide solutions in the premium spot market and to secure FAK space.
 
Air Freight Rates - There is an increase in rates. Rates have increased with a further increase expected in July. Spot market is the guaranteed way to get a ship on-board. Getting a ship on-board with NAC rates is challenging due to blank sailings announced for the beginning of July.
 
 
NEW YORK
Air Freight Rates - There is an increase in rates. There is a large increase in rates due to a market that is currently peaking and space/capacity remains very tight. Most carriers take express bookings for cargo to move sooner than 10-14 days from origin. Qatar airways announces FSC with effect from 7/1 on chargeable weight.
 
Ocean Freight Rates - There is an increase in rates. FAK Spot Premium Rates continue to increase for the 1st half of July with no indication of a stabilization or decrease. EFL works closely with carrier partners to provide solutions in the premium spot market to secure FAK space.
 
 
LOS ANGELES
Air Freight Rates - There is an increase in rates. Rates have increased due to a rise in demand for airfreight and ocean to air conversions.
 
Ocean Freight Rates - There is an increase in rates. FAK Spot Premium Rates continue to increase for the 2nd half of June with the same expected to continue with a further increase in July. TPEB rates rose by 25% to USEC and 15% to USWC.
 
 
MIAMI
Air Freight Rates - There is an increase in rates. Rates continue to increase due to limited space and the fuel price hikes.
 
Ocean Freight Rates - There is an increase in rates. Over 40+ blank sailings have been scheduled through June. The situation with the COVID outbreak in Yantian leads to further backlogs out of the S. China Sea where there are over 45 vessels at anchor waiting to berth in Yantian (Southeast Asia countries where carriers sail from into Yantian).

yes this is a very good sign of its future. Definitely this share has the potential of passing RS. 65 with quarterly results. As I predicted my earlier post Expo will be the highest market capitalized share in Cse one day.

[size=45][size=41]Container lines set to topple quarterly profit records (again)[/size]

COSCO and Matson second-quarter profits set the bar even higher

Maersk and other ocean carriers posted their best numbers ever in the first quarter, but those records are almost certain to be quickly eclipsed.
Early disclosures from carriers confirm that the second quarter will be an even bigger blockbuster for liners.
During the first three months of this year, congestion negatively impacted volumes for several liners, yet surging rates more than offset any decline in loadings.
Even though congestion worsened in the second quarter — due to the Suez Canal accident and the COVID outbreak in Yantian, China — freight rates were much stronger than in the first quarter, setting the stage for new highs in revenues and profits.

OOCL

OOCL, a division of China’s COSCO, revealed data on Wednesday on Q2 liftings and revenues. American Shipper analyzed the changes versus the first quarter and calculated OOCL’s revenue per twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU).
The carrier’s total liftings dropped 1.5% quarter-on-quarter, including a 4.2% decline in the congestion-stricken trans-Pacific. However, revenue per TEU jumped 16.6% in the second quarter versus the first, to $1,780 per TEU. There was a particularly sharp rise — 20.6% — in revenue per TEU in the trans-Pacific.

As in the first quarter, rate tailwinds trumped congestion headwinds. OOCL’s overall shipping revenue in the second quarter rose 14.9% compared to the first three months of the year, to $3.47 billion.

(Chart: American Shipper based on data from OOCL)

COSCO Group

The COSCO Group announced preliminary Q2 profits on Wednesday. COSCO disclosed that first-half revenues will be approximately RMB 37.093 billion ($5.7 billion). This means that Q2 2021 net profit will be RMB 21.641 billion, up 40% from the previous record period in Q1 2021.
During the first half of this year alone, COSCO will post profits that are 3.7 times the profits earned in full-year 2020.

Matson

After market close on Thursday, Matson (NYSE: MATX) released preliminary results that trounced analyst expectations. The consensus forecast was for Q2 2021 net income of $2.21 per share. Matson said that net income will be $156.9 million-$163.6 million or $3.58-$3.73 per share — 62%-69% above what analysts expected.
“We WAY underestimated the earnings capacity of Matson once again,” admitted Stifel analyst Ben Nolan in a client note.
Matson CEO Matt Cox stated, “Currently, in the trans-Pacific trade lane, supply chain congestion continues and consumption trends remain elevated. We expect these conditions to remain in place and lead to a high level of demand at least until Lunar New Year in the first quarter of 2022.”

Evergreen

Taiwan-based Evergreen has not pre-reported profits, but it has just posted its monthly operating revenues through June.
Last month, Evergreen posted all-time-high operating revenues of 37.72 billion New Taiwan dollars (NT$). For Q2 2021, operating revenues totaled NT$99.89 billion ($3.6 billion), up 11% from Q1 2021.

Carriers’ public relations deficit

U.K. consultancy Drewry estimated this week that the ocean carrier sector as a whole could post aggregate profits of $80 billion-$100 billion this year.
“Carriers’ only account in deficit is public relations,” said Drewry. “Lines are in danger of being cast as profiteering villains, unsympathetic to the needs of their customers.”
On Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Biden administration will use an executive order and urge the Federal Maritime Commission “to confront consolidation and perceived anticompetitive pricing” in ocean shipping.
According to Stifel analyst Ben Nolan, “From our perspective … ocean shipping pricing has been consistent with overall market supply dynamics. Furthermore, virtually all large container shipping companies are not U.S. domiciled, listed, etc., so there is very little influence that could be brought to bear.”

However, Nolan warned, “Despite no meaningful means of intervention, we do expect the risk of increased regulatory oversight to be negative for container-shipping equities.”

Long term investors should carefully study this, because many key points of their success and many arears which they expecting to grow, have disclosed in several pages.

Specially have to refer Group CEO's statement on page number 15, 16 and 17 and highlights the future promising of the company.

GROUP CEO’S REVIEW
Dear Stakeholder It has been a momentous and memorable year for the Expo Group. Demonstrating its true grit, determination, and a dare to do spirit the Group delivered outstanding results during the last financial year. This achievement is a realisation of our consistent, continuous strategy which we put into place in 2017 to grow EFL, our logistics business particularly in our core markets, where over the past three years, we have pursued a holistic and unified approach which enabled us to deepen our penetration in our focused operations. The strategy that we adopted has enabled the company to transform itself into a leading player in the global logistics sphere and these results we see today are an outcome of the culmination of the diligent, hard work and efforts that have been put in over the last several years. Group Results The Group posted a record revenue of Rs. 218.7Bn (YoY 112%) driven by the logistics sector. Guided by our proactive strategies on procurement & efficiencies, the Group was able to successfully navigate through challenging market conditions and deliver a Gross Profit of Rs. 38.4Bn (YoY 100%). The hallmark of our performance during the year was our constant attention to meeting customer demands, working closely with our partners, optimising our cash flows which enabled us to deliver a PAT of Rs. 14.8Bn. Business Review Having made a quantum leap to expand beyond our roots as a subcontinent-based freight operator, our rapid global expansion over the past three years, has propelled EFL to the forefront of the global logistics arena. It is therefore with deep sense of accomplishment that I acknowledge that EFL is now recognised among the upper echelons of the logistics industry in the world. That being said, I am confident that it was our continuous investments into building our organisational infrastructure by strengthening our global sales teams, consolidating and growing our network origins to enhance global visibility of our brand, refining our procurement strategy while developing the spirit of our employees, has given EFL an edge over competitors. A cohesive effort spanning the entire organisation, including dynamic .

strategies by origin stations to ensure service delivery to customers in the most efficient manner complemented the initiatives led by the sales and procurement teams. It is also very encouraging to see EFL benefiting from increased wallet share from several of its key customers. This I believe is a reflection of the close customer relationships built over the years as well as the steadfast commitment shown by EFL to support its customers to overcome the pandemic related constraints. An indication of the continued progress of our business was reflected in the volumes generated during the last quarter of the year, where our overall volumes for the 4th quarter surpassed the volumes reported in the same quarter of previous financial year. From a trade lane perspective, the US trade lane operation remained the most active during the period under review contributing a significant share of our overall business operation. Our persistent and relentless endeavor to grow this trade lane through investments that we had made in the past is well reflected in the results that we see today. Being well placed in this market also enabled us to move with relative ease to accelerate new customer acquisition strategies as well as to make steady progress in capturing new customers across various verticals. Complementing on the above strengths, we also made a conscious effort to grow our Far East business, which saw established markets such as China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Cambodia surge ahead with strong growth and new markets such as Malaysia and Taiwan displaying positive momentum. I am also pleased to note that our traditionally strong Indian subcontinent market performed exceptionally well, a further reflection of our strategic attention. Despite the pandemic environment, the European Trade lane made satisfactory progress, particularly with our traditional businesses. Initial investments into Denmark and Belgium performed creditably during this period. We have long term aspirations in growing this market, which we feel will be a critical component of success in the future. The Intra Asia trade lane operations were somewhat muted during the year,understandably so given the reduced trade flows within the region. Nonetheless, we are very optimistic on the prospects of trade within this region. While remaining agile and flexible, and adjusting our business operations and business model to meet the challenges of global disruptions to supply chain and staying true to our customer centric approach, allowed EFL to seamlessly pivot to opportunities available in the market. Furthermore, we were also able to leverage our relationships built over the last several years with carrier networks. These relationships which we had developed overtime along with constant engagement, careful planning, collaborative efforts supported by a data driven approach enabled us to secure capacity efficiently and optimise our procurement costs in challenging conditions. Meanwhile, focused efforts to broad base the carrier networks paved the way for EFL to augment its customer offerings through more flexible, bespoke solutions to meet customer demands. The Ocean Freight market too remained very dynamic and was impacted by container shortages and port congestions resulting in relatively higher rates. Despite lower capacity and higher rates, here too EFL was able to tap into its long term carrier partnerships, supported by proactive procurement strategies, to maintain a healthy profitability during the year. While efforts to pursue organic growth in key stronghold markets delivered excellent results and helped EFL to significantly improve its captive market share, we also capitalised on the opportunity to diversify into new verticals in order to drive revenue growth and boost profits. The decision to diversify into selected verticals, forms part of a broader portfolio expansion strategy that we initiated in 2017 with the aim of enhancing EFL’s industry presence across key business operations. Having already made some notable progress in the past, we were able to further accelerate our portfolio diversification strategy during the year owing to the reputation that EFL had built as a trusted, dependable forwarder and also the capability to service its customers efficiently inspite of the pandemic environment. I am pleased to note that EFL was able to make sustained progress and gain a firm foothold in the Tech, Perishable, Pharma, Automobile verticals. EFL’s multi origin network in 29 countries across the globe, once again made all the difference in facilitating these efforts. At the same time, we were able to secure several bulk shipments of PPE cargo and medical supplies mainly from EFL’s origin stations in the Far East. Another area that we focused on quite actively during this past year, was technology adoption to retrofit our front end customer interfaces to bring more end to end visibility to the customer and also standardise backend systems across the network. Determined to move ahead with our digital agenda as planned, we pushed through with the continued developments of our ERP platform across the network which was completed via a highly successful virtual roll out covering all EFL stations globally. With the infrastructure in place, EFL now has a solid foundation to provide a premier customer experience that includes integrated solutions coupled with increased visibility through the customers’ entire transaction journey with EFL from shipment quote to delivery. This past year has brought out the very best in our people. I am especially proud of how our employees around the world worked tirelessly to ensure that our operations continue to function, even amidst pandemic related limitations. The spirit and determination shown by each and every employee is, I believe a true manifestation of what Expo Group stands for; our values; the dedication to excellence, the willingness to innovate and our commitment to uphold stakeholder interest.. This show of strength and resilience has made it clear that we are indeed “one team pursuing one dream”. Even as we prioritise the expansion of EFL’s global operations, sustainability remains a key strategic element in our overall growth agenda. We consider sustainability as an extension of our business and as such strive to holistically embed sustainability concepts into our operational framework. To make this a reality, our sustainability strategy encompasses a broad range of stakeholders our business partners (customers & suppliers), our valued employees the environment we operate in and the community. Working closely with our stakeholders we aim to better align our goals to take cognizance of the key environmental and social issues we all are faced with. Taking a significant step to advance its sustainability footprint, EFL in 2020 made a commitment to implement green logistics to offset carbon emissions from its freight operations. We made good on this commitment in 2020 by supporting a renewable energy project in India which enabled us to neutralise carbon emissions pertaining to shipments of our top 10 customers. I am encouraged by how well our leisure sector has navigated its way through a very challenging year for the industry. Taking a longer term perspective, the sector adopted a more holistic approach by realigning its service portfolio and reorganising itself in order to transition into a more efficient, and leaner organisation. The business continued to prioritise the needs of customers above all else and true to its innovative nature, developed several new services & travel solutions to meet the needs of the hour. Past investments in digital technology has without a doubt been a significant advantage in creating solutions geared towards travel during a pandemic environment. Not content with these measures alone, we also ventured into domestic tourism quite aggressively in the year under review. This was a timely move that delivered some very encouraging outcomes that helped Classic Travel to tide over the difficult times. The sector had to undertake certain resizing initiatives, which were undertaken in a streamlined and responsible manner to safeguard the interests of all stakeholders. Our efforts to remain resilient in the face of the pandemic, were recognised publicly, with Classic Travel being awarded the Restart Resilience Award under the Service Sector Large Category at the SLIM Brand Excellence Awards 2020. Our investment sector businesses reported a satisfactory performance for the year under review amidst mixed results from the export businesses. Our IT solutions business ITX 360 made significant progress to deliver an outstanding results for the FY 2020/21 I would also like to point out that the constant support and guidance given by our parent company gave us a lot of confidence to move forward fearlessly with vigor and precision. By being able to access funds in an efficient and effective manner to fund our growth initiatives, we were able to further strengthen the Group’s balance sheet. Future Direction All in all this past year has been remarkable in many ways. It has been a year of solid growth, where we saw the results of our sustained strategy over the past few years coming into fruition. The outstanding financial performance gives me reason to believe that the Investments and strategies adopted during the last several years along with our ability to demonstrate our strengths as a trusted, reliable and dependable logistics partner during the current year, has laid the foundation for the company to further expedite its growth initiatives into the future which will be holistically supported by Financial Capital, Human Capital and our strong technology platform. This gives me reason to be very excited for the future and growth of our Group in the future. For EFL, the main focus in the next few years would be to firm up its presence across all its global stations and expand its footprint. In this regard, we expect to adopt a multipronged strategy to grow the customer base and increase captive market share. We expect our decision to move into the USA domestic logistics area will also give us the necessary leverage to position EFL as an end to end solution based supply Chain Company in North America. Going forward, we will also pursue several initiatives to grow our reach in the European market. EFL will look to leverage its strong brand presence, market acceptance and network operations to pursue potential opportunities in this market as it continues to recover. As always we will continue to work towards building on EFL’s stronghold markets in Asia, while keeping a keen eye on emerging opportunities that complement EFL’s strategic objectives. I expect our focus on digital technology adoption to also gather momentum as EFL strives to position itself as a key partner across all major global supply chain networks. As Sri Lanka’s travel industry moves towards greater consolidation with smaller players exiting the market over the longer term, I believe it will open up opportunities for larger players to gain captive market share in the future. Classic Travels will continue to focus on maintaining the highest standards of customer service and build on its core strength of being the most reliable travel partner in the industry. This is only the start of our journey, and I sincerely believe that the Expo Group has much more to achieve over the next several years as we surge ahead with our growth plans. We will continue on our growth journey focusing on developing our infrastructure, further strengthening our competencies, expanding into new markets, deploying our technology competencies, attracting the right resources across to the organisation, all with the aim of delivering strong, sustainable returns to all our stakeholders Appreciations At the onset, I would like to extend a warm welcome to Mr. Hitoshi Kanahori, our new Chairman and my fellow Board Members, Mr. Ha Yo and Mr. Akira Oyama. I would also like to place on record my sincere appreciation to Mr. Naosuke Kawasaki, Mr. Motonori Matsuzono and Mr. Yoshifumi Matsubara who resigned from the board with effect 30th June 2020. They were part of the board since 2014 who greatly assisted and supported our growth journey. I like to thank the Board for their insight vision, and leadership to enable the Expo Group deliver its best ever performance to date in the midst of a pandemic Let me also take this opportunity to thank all our leadership teams and our employees around the world who have worked tirelessly under difficult conditions with sincerity dedication and commitment. I am immensely proud of the way in which you have risen to the challenge to do what is needed to support your respective companies in these unprecedented circumstances. I am equally grateful for the ongoing support received from our customers, business partners and shareholders. This past year has only served to strengthen our ties which I hope will pave the way for us to work together to meet our stakeholder commitments whilst always being cognizant of the environmental and social responsibility.

Why Capital Trust is now forecasting EXPO's fair value as Rs.125, even more than the (almost double) Asia Securities forecast of Rs.65.
Simple answer is given in EXPO's Annual Report CEO's statement. read carefully its Business Expansions, steps for sustainability and future growth in many countries. Now we cannot simply ignore this company.

Capital Trust research team is now forecasting EXPO to trade at 10 PE and mostly they will deliver at least 2.5 - 3.0 Earnings per share in coming year.

Hi all,

INVESTORS should remember that EXPO is company EXPLOITED COVID19 led opportunities massively and diversified the BUSINESS in to several GROWTH sectors like electronics, automotive parts, garments, etc. 

Irrespective of C19 or NOT, EXPO is a SUPER NORMAL STOCK exploring global business opportunities better than any CO. in CSE. So, if C19 it’s extremely favorable for EXPO in coming quarters together with all other business sectors contributing to GROW PROFITS.

Additionally, US RETAIL SALES have increased in June 2021 as per latest data which means a GROWTH in LOGISTICS. Carefully read the below information published in Wall Street Journal.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/us-economy-june-2021-retail-sales-11626391633

Therefore, with increased NEW DIVERSIFIED BUSINESS, INCREASED FREIGHT RATES and INCREASED RETAIL SALES in USA which contributes 61% of the REVENUE, the expectations for EXPO PAT for QUARTER ENDING JUNE 2021 should be a minimum of Rs 7.0Bn~Rs 8.0Bn. For me it will be an EARNINGS SURPRISE 


Good Luck 

Note - NOT a BUY|SELL or HOLD RECOMMENDATION
