Fellow Korean shipyards seem to have it worst with their 50% avg drops compared to SG's top2 ~30% drop.

Short Sellers Bet Korean Shipyards’ Misery to Deepen

South Korean shipbuilders, last year’s biggest stock-market losers, are the most popular target for short sellers in 2015 as falling crude hurts oil-rig demand.

Bearish wagers used borrowed stock against Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. (010620) rose to 7.3 percent of shares outstanding on Jan. 8, the highest level on the Kospi index and up from 4.3 percent a year ago, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and Markit Group Ltd. Short interest in Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. and Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. (009540) has more than tripled in the past 12 months............

A gauge of Korean shipbuilders plunged 51 percent last year, the biggest drop among more than 100 industry groups on the nation’s benchmark stock gauge. Hyundai Heavy, the fourth-largest company by market capitalization in the benchmark Kospi at its peak in April 2011, now ranks 34th after losing about $31 billion in value.

The O&M division remains resilience amid the lower oil price. The real test might be in the next 6-12 months, I guess...

You may be right. Do you mind to share in more details?
Thanks.
WB:-

1) Rule # 1, do not lose money.
2) Rule # 2, refer to # 1.
3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.

Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

There is a big increase of work in progress in cash flow item

Stocks & work-in-progress (2,134,437)

"Net cash from operating activities for the full year was $22 million, $603 million lower than that in the previous year. This was due mainly to higher working capital requirements from Offshore & Marine and Property Divisions, despite a higher operating profit in the current year. Net cash from investing activities for the year was $877 million. The Group spent $1,262 million on acquisitions and operational capex. This comprised principally acquisition of additional interest in subsidiaries, further investment in associated companies, capital expenditure on data centre assets and logistics facilities and other operational capex. Divestment and dividend income totalled $2,139 million, mainly proceeds received from the divestment of Equity Plaza, sale of the data centre assets by the Infrastructure Division and the divestment of the Group’s one-third interest in MBFC T3. Net cash used in financing activities was $769 million. The net proceeds from loans of $272 million were $1.86 billion lower due to due to lesser refinancing requirements."
