BlueNord (Buy, TP: NOK630.00) - Step by step to shareholder returns

Despite the shares being up ~18% YTD, we still see a solid risk/reward in BlueNord, helped by its investor-friendly shareholder return policy. Tyra was back in production on 22 March, which we believe will facilitate a capital structure reset, ultimately enabling BlueNord to reach its targeted distribution of 50–70% of operating cash flow for 2024–2026. Our estimates imply a ~50% payout of its (diluted) market cap over that time, significantly reducing the residual risk in the investment case. As we have lowered our gas price assumptions, we have cut our 2024–2026e EBITDA by 11–7%. We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to NOK630 (660) on our lower estimates and NAV.
