AMSC ASA Minor model adjustments

We have updated our estimates ahead of the Q2 results (due at 07:00 CET on 23 August), owing to increased interest rates and other minor modelling adjustments. AMSC is trading at a 12.1% run-rate dividend yield, an attractive return despite interest rate headwinds. The risk/reward still appears skewed to the upside, as we do not believe the market has fully accounted for the higher distribution capacity from Normand Maximus’s ~USD30m (p.a.) EBITDA contribution. As we forecast quarterly dividends to rise (with a first uptick to USD0.15/share in Q4 2023e), we calculate the stock is trading at a 15.1% yield on 2024–2025e dividends. We do not consider these estimate changes to be material, and we have not changed our BUY recommendation. We have lowered our target price to NOK52 (55).
