Crude tankers (DNB Markets) - 2020 rates set to slip below 2019

At its investor day in November, Teekay Tankers announced that reducing leverage and selling assets would be a core part of its strategy for the next few years. Last week, it announced the sale of three 2003-built Suezmaxes and a part of its support service business, in addition to signing a 5-year debt facility of USD533m for 31 vessels. The initiatives will generate USD73m in liquidity, giving optionality to pay down debt. Our Q4e EBITDA of USD134m is 6% above consensus; the results are expected by 21 February 2020. We reiterate our BUY, while we have reduced our target price to USD21 (USD23).
