Abstract: Abstract This paper presents a comprehensive financial analysis of COSCO SHIPPING Holdings Co., Ltd., a leading entity in China’s shipping industry. It examines the company’s financial health from 2021 to 2023, focusing on solvency, operating capacity, and profitability metrics. The analysis reveals that COSCO SHIPPING maintains strong short- and long-term debt repayment capabilities, indicated by stable current, quick, and cash ratios despite slight fluctuations. However, the company’s operating efficiency showed a downward trend, particularly in inventory and asset turnover rates, which suggests potential areas for operational improvement. Additionally, profitability indicators have declined significantly due to macroeconomic challenges, such as trade protectionism, evolving global trade patterns, and heightened industry competition. The paper underscores the impact of external economic factors on COSCO SHIPPING’s financial performance and suggests that diversifying financing structures could enhance risk management. Despite challenges, COSCO SHIPPING’s strategic focus on digitalization, green initiatives, and emerging markets positions it to navigate industry shifts while sustaining financial stability in a volatile global market.
