Avance Gas (Buy, TP: NOK168.00) - Dividends to come

VLGC spot rates have yet to fully recover after the US cold spell, while an outlook for reduced propane heating demand on high temperatures in the next two weeks should support inventories to stay above the 5-year average and lend a hand to the recently upward-trending US-Far East arbitrage (up c60% since trough). Hence, we expect a DPS of cNOK35 for Q1–Q2 or c25% of the current share price, based on our estimates of operating EPS of cNOK14 and cNOK21/share from additional cash proceeds available for dividends. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to NOK168 (163).
