Goldman Sachs released a Research Report stating that COSCO SHIP ENGY (01138) performed worse than both the bank's and market's expectations in the first quarter of this year, mainly due to the significant decline in transportation costs for Crude Oil Products and the continuous rise in costs.

Goldman Sachs: Maintains "Buy" rating for the three major telecom operators, expecting that the decline in cash flow in the first quarter will have a controllable impact.
Goldman Sachs released a Research Report stating that the revenue and net profit growth of Chinese telecommunications stocks in the first quarter has slowed compared to 2024, but this is within the bank's expectations. The performance shows a significant decline in operating cash flow, mainly impacted by a notable increase in accounts receivable, which is related to the shift in telecom companies' business models towards enterprise business (cloud/ICT projects). However, a reduction in capital expenditure and an increase in accounts payable are expected to offset this negative impact and stabilize free cash flow from 2025 to 2026. Moreover, cash flow exhibits a seasonal pattern, with cash recovery from accounts receivable primarily concentrated in the second half of the year. Overall, the bank believes that Chinese telecommunications companies still possess.
