Ventura Offshore - Initiation of coverage - In a deepwater hot spot
In a deepwater hot spotWith a local footprint, superior cost structure and recently executed 5-year surveys, we consider Ventura Offshore well placed to generate solid cash flows even under its current legacy dayrates. We also see a bright outlook for new long-term contracts starting in mid-2026, supported by ongoing tenders and Petrobras’ rig demand comments. In our view, new contracts at leading-edge dayrates (cUSD400k) would be key to the investment case, with the stock trading at a 2027e EV/EBITDA of 1.0x. We see 45–110% upside potential to close the gap to peers. We initiate coverage with a BUY and NOK50 target price.
