MPC Container Ships (Sell, TP: NOK19.00) - High rates, but overinflated shares

The strong freight market has allowed for attractive TC fixtures for MPCC, but rates are now slipping. We still believe the container market is set for years with soft markets on only 6% volume growth YTD versus 2019, but with a c30% increase in the fleet capacity. Thus, while we continue to assume solid rates and duration for vessels set to end their contracts until Q3 2025, we find the risk/reward skewed to the downside. We reiterate our SELL, but have raised our target price to NOK19.0 (18.5).
