Odfjell Drilling (Buy, TP: NOK50.00) - Starting the dividend story
Q2 saw the quarterly dividend set above our forecast, for a 7% yield. This could change the perception of the company as (overly) conservative and support larger dividends once its 5-year survey cycle ends in 2025e. We gradually expect more focus on its long-term (2026e) dividend potential, which we assess to be 25%, while we forecast a slightly lower payout, equal to an 18% yield. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to NOK 50 (40), which would correspond to a 2025e EV/EBITDA of 3.3x (adjusted for dividends).Odfjell Drilling Ltd.
