On January 13, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the amendment of the Company's primary purpose from an oil and mineral exploration and development corporation into a holding company.

On April 12 2013, Lucio L. Co. Group (LLCG) and COSCO executed a Deed of Agreement in payment for the subscription wherein the LLCG shall subscribe to the unissued unauthorized capital stock of the Company. Ten (10) days later, the SEC approved the change in corporate name to the present one.

As of 19th of December 2016, COSCO was last traded price at PHP 8.53. This is 13.75% lower compare to their recorded book value as of their September 2016 financial report. Therefore, in terms of price to book value, it's not expensive yet since the book value is higher than the market price. 

In terms of P/E, the company recorded a trailing P/E of 13.76 meaning, for every 1PHP earning last 2015, investors of this company are willing or is paying 13.76PHP only. With a 13.76 P/E and with a growth rate (change in EPS) of 14.81% from 2014 to 2015, the company trailing PEG ratio would be 0.93 which is less than 1.0 meaning, investors of this company are paying only 13.76PHP for every 1PHP income last 2015 when the company grows by 14.81% from 2014 to 2015. Ideally, a fair valued stocks has a PEG ratio of 1.0 meaning, the P/E is equal to the growth rate, in the case of COSCO its less than one therefore, possibly undervalued.
