BUYs with much to look forward to

The VLGC market has gone from strength to strength in a year that looked set to be hit by a daunting delivery schedule. Although we are not yet out of the woods, the market’s underlying vigour is building confidence in lasting returns, most notably from elevated US inventory, promising export growth and attractive arbitrage. Current forward FFAs are highly supportive for asset valuations, and we expect VLGC values to increase. Hence, we believe the VLGC equities at ~1.0x EV/GAV represent attractive value and cash-flow potential, resulting in BUYs across our covered peer group.
