Flex LNG (Hold, TP: NOK295.00) - Stock up 50% since March – HOLD

We have made limited estimate revisions ahead of the Q1 results (due 07:00 CEST on 11 May) as the company has fixed more than 90% of days for 2022. LNG market strength being driven by constrained LNG volumes and lower sailing distances should keep a lid on spot freight rates in our view. Given the 50% share price increase since March, we believe sentiment has run too far for now, and have downgraded the stock to HOLD (BUY), while we have raised our target price to NOK295 (229).
