Odfjell Drilling (Buy, TP: NOK43.00) - Financing solution overdue

Despite having one of the sector’s most attractive 2020e net debt/EBITDAs of 3.1x and a long-term backlog of quality harsh semis with major oil companies, Odfjell Drilling is yet to conclude its refinancing. In our view it needs to address this in its Q1 report (due 29 May), and thanks to its aforementioned qualities it should be able to get the required debt financing. We believe a lack of news on refinancing continues to cap the share price and expect a relief if a credible solution is announced. We reiterate our BUY and NOK43 target price.
