As the container liner sector is entering an earning downcycle, OPEX analysis should be back in focus for the stakeholders. While the average freight rates over 6-month has been tripled since 19H1, OPEX has also quietly moved up by 52%. Hence the 60% EBIT margin reported in 22H1.

Some of the OPEX items may not be correlated with the freight rates or at least not moving in synchroniz
WHL and YMM also reported their August revenue last week, after EMC. WHL's August revenue fell 20% YoY, 12% MoM and 40% from its peak in Jan 2022. YMM's August revenue also fell both YoY and MoM.

Evergreen Marine Corp. (EMC), the Taiwan listed arm of the Evergreen Group has reported a 10% MoM drop (8.5% in NTD) in operating revenue in August. The point of focus is the sequential change, which is larger than the CCFI's 6% MoM drop. It is unusual for carriers to report sequential revenue drops in August, during what should have been the middle of the usual peak shipment season. The last time EMC reported a larger sequential drop in any month in 3Q was in September 2011. EMC is expected to
CMA CGM 22Q2 results out after Friday close without much surprises. The reports from the other liners have pretty much painted the picture of the liner industry financial performance during 22Q2, e.g. larger liners reporting sequential earnings growth while smaller liners reporting sequential earnings drop probably a result of contract mix. CMA CGM reported sequential growth in revenue yield (revenue generate by each capacity slot in a quarter), similar to that of Maersk and Hapag Lloyd. Hence
