Kim Eng Securities has initiated coverage of Singapore-listed Chinese shipbuilder Yangzijiang (YAZG.SI) with a buy rating and target price of $2.15.

Despite keen competition from domestic and international shipyards, Yangzijiang saw its shipbuilding orders jump by 200% last year to US$1.38 billion ($1.70 billion), Kim Eng said in a report.

The brokerage also said Yangzijiang has taken steps to stay ahead of its competitors by boosting shipbuilding capacity and building energy-saving vessels, which enjoy larger margins.
“Near-term catalysts include robust order wins and a successful foray into the offshore marine sector,” said Kim Eng.
At 10:30 a.m., shares of Yangzijiang were flat at $1.53. The shares have fallen about 20% since the start of the year.
