Wallenius Wilhelmsen ASA Minor model adjustments

We have marginally lowered our 2024-2026 estimates (results due at 07:00 CET on 8 May), on the more impactful Red Sea disruptions and the company’s estimated USD5m–10m negative EBITDA effect from the Baltimore bridge collapse. We believe WAWI could further renew its contract portfolio at significantly higher levels and build earnings momentum for the years ahead. So far in 2024, the company has announced USD2.8bn of committed contracts (nearly USD1bn in annual revenues, or 19% of 2023, for the next 2–3 years), with 46% of volumes to be renewed during the year and contract renewals said to be back-end loaded. We do not consider these changes to be material, and we have not changed our BUY recommendation. We have raised our target price from NOK152 to NOK159.
