Avance Gas (Buy, TP: NOK27.00) - BW LPG buys 9.14%

BW LPG last night bought 9.14% of Avance Gas, likely looking to overtake one of its listed peers after a failed attempt to acquire Dorian LPG in 2018. BW LPG has said ordering newbuilds is not its preferred option for fleet expansion. We believe that an eventual, potential takeover of Avance Gas could put BW LPG in a position to acquire vessels at as much as a 20% discount to underlying values, leaving upside potential to Avance Gas’s NOK42share price.
