EURONAV - Company Note 06.06.2019 - Time to board

As we expect rates to take off in 2H19 we have conducted a more granular approach to Euronav’s SOTP NAV valuation. In order to have our target price reflect the potential future fleet value in a more broad sense than on the sole basis of current asset prices, we upgrade our TP from € 9.00 to € 10.5 p.s. entailing an upside potential of 42%. Our new TP is based on Euronav’s SOTP fleet NAV valued at historical average asset prices as well as using a depreciated newbuild vessel method. Consequently it translates in a what can be thought of as a 10% “market forecast premium” to current market price NAV of $ 10.53 p.s. or € 9.41 p.s. (entailing a 21% discount to Euronav’s share price.)
Given the stable/rising asset prices, combined with the 20% share drop over the past two weeks, we see this as a buying opportunity
