Interim Report Q3 2018

Interim Report for the 3rd Quarter 2018 for A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S is hereby enclosed.



CEO of A.P. Møller - Mærsk A/S, Søren Skou, states:



“Well into our transformation, we are progressing with the integration of our business to better serve customers and unlock the full growth potential within Logistics and Services. As a result, I am pleased to see revenue growth in Q3 across the business, including supply chain services. Our profitability and cash flow is improving, positively impacted by the emergency bunker surcharge announced due to the significant increase in bunker price, synergies from Hamburg Süd and strong collaboration between Ocean and our terminal activities.

     

Our business performance in Ocean is still challenged by increased bunker prices not being fully compensated through higher freight rates. However, we continue to see improved results in the third quarter after a very weak start to 2018.”

A. P. Møller Mærsk (Sell, TP: DKK9000.00) - Challenging the deep value...

The Q1 results proved disappointing to buy-side expectations, though reasonably aligned and even bullish compared to near-term consensus. Their market commentary could raise expectations above the upper end of the potentially conservative guidance, but we struggle to see the intrinsic value when facing the bleak container markets for 2025–2026e. We reiterate our SELL and have cut our target price to DKK9,000 (9,600).

Continued strong demand will make a difference

Surprisingly strong container demand makes a big difference. '24e EBITDA of USD 6.2bn. TP of DKK 12,800 (13,260) – BUY.
