Flex LNG (Hold, TP: NOK282.00) - Earnings locked in
We have updated our estimates ahead of the Q2 results for the new contract backlog on three LNGCs, as well as near-term headwinds. In our view, Flex LNG’s 100% contract coverage over Q2 2022–Q2 2024 provides significant long-term earnings visibility – as well as offering protection against pressured spot rates near-term amid the Freeport LNG fire. We reiterate our HOLD, but based on FX and a higher NAV have raised our target price to NOK282 (269).Flex Lng Limited.
