Stolt-Nielsen (Buy, TP: NOK530.00) - Bullish sentiment to reawaken

We believe the tanker market should improve from recent softness and see solid rates towards end-2024e and into 2025–2026e, with chemical tanker rates to be fuelled by improving chemical trade, a still healthy orderbook, and reduced swing tonnage. We calculate a 19% average 2025–2026e earnings yield, and believe Stolt-Nielsen screens as an appealing tanker exposure, trading at a 2025–2026e average EV/EBITDA of 4.1x (tanker peer group: 4.6x). We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to NOK530 (533).
