Cochin Shipyard Shares Crash on Lower Margin Guidance

Cochin Shipyard builds and repairs ships, including defence vessels.

Its shares fell sharply after the company said its profit margin may settle near 14%.

Investors were worried because margins had been higher in earlier years.

One analyst said the stock’s chart looks weak and advised waiting.

Another said investors should wait until the stock forms a stable base and rises above important resistance levels.

The company still has a large order book worth about ₹22,000 crore.

It has also become the lowest bidder for Navy survey vessels worth about ₹5,000 crore.

This means the business has future work, but the share price may remain under pressure.

Investors therefore face a choice between waiting for technical recovery and considering the long-term order visibility.
