Flex LNG (Buy, TP: NOK16.60) - High leverage, but manageable

FLEX LNG has added two newbuilds to its portfolio without needing equity financing, on our calculations. We calculate a USD~125m cash balance post vessel delivery of newbuild no.8 (not including cash flow from operations or higher leverage on existing LNGCs once longer-term contracts are secured). Hence, we see limited liquidity risk into 2020, thanks largely to strong backing by the main owner. FLEX is shelving FSRU for now to focus on being a pure LNG transportation company. BUY and NOK16.6 target price reiterated.
