Ventura Offshore (Buy, TP: NOK50.00) - First step taken

With Carolina booked until early 2029, we believe the company has taken the first step for significant shareholder returns from 2027e. Despite uncertainty in the global deepwater market, locally owned rigs in Brazil benefit from a significant cost advantage. In a scenario with a similar contract for its other Brazil-based rig and its Southeast Asia rig keeps working, we believe the entire market cap could be distributed in dividends over 2027–2028. The stock is trading at a 2027e EV/EBITDA of 0.8x. We reiterate our BUY and NOK50 target price.
