Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. (NYSE:OSG)

I need help

Shipping has been good to me, so I say buy.

Weak dollar will boost export transportation

Transportation

Undervalued, activity is high (debt buyback, third party share investments).

This stock should continue to grow due to the fact that it is undervalued and has a low P/E. New business expansion into dry shipping should bring in even more earnings late year, next year. This stock should see 80's or above before end of year.

FS = 80
Gamma = 1.67

Fundamentals good, price substantially undervalued.

Greatly undervalued stock. With Baltic rates at all time highs and freighter shortage we should see sharply escalting earnings for this company.

peg looks a little rich but with excellent growth and nice balance sheet, i think we can still expect some upside potential to this stock.gotta love the roe (Return on Equity (ttm): 18.41%) and the dividends;5 Year Average Dividend Yield 1.90% with a Forward Annual Dividend Yield 1.80%.

60 year old New York bulk shipping company. 107 ships under US and international flags. "As a U.S.-based company, OSG is uniquely positioned to capitalize on a cabotage market that requires vessels engaging in trade between contiguous U.S. ports to be built in the U.S., operate under the U.S. flag, be at least 75% owned and operated by U.S. citizens and be manned by U.S. crews." (see Jones Act and cabotage in wikipedia)

Oil Pollution act of 1990 requires phaseout of non double hulled tankers by 2015. This means fewer ships as our consumption of oil and petroleum products increases. OSG's owned international fleet is 100% double hulled vessels

OSG has further diversified into the liquified natural gas field with 4 leased ships (25 year leases) and is developing compressed natural gas transportation. 1/3 of natural gas fields are "stranded" and not connected to piplines or able to be developed for LNG. These fields could be served by CNG trasnport.

Great numbers

P/E: 7.50, P/Book: 1.23, 5-year Annual EPS Growth: 31.09%, Current Ratio: 4.40, 5-year Annual Dividend Growth: 9.04

Oil tanker ship company with 1.3% dividend...34% net profit margin...

Growth of the global economy continues increase the volume they have to ship. They are in the volume business and in my belief less sensitive to oil prices as others would think.,

Diversified fleet. Investor-friendly. A screaming value for long-term holders of stock.

low p/e, low p/b, high current ratio, high annu eps growth rate, positive 5 yr div growth
