The liner companies’ swift response to the pandemic has seen the CCFI decrease only 7% QOQ, which, coupled with lower bunker prices and Maersk’s updated Q2 guidance, has lifted our 2020e EBITDA by 19%. Although some positive signals of higher volumes and fewer blank sailings have been seen, the outlook for H2e remains muted. After a change of analyst, we reiterate our HOLD and have raised our target price to DKK9,700, equalling our SOTP based on 2021e earnings multiples.
As of end-Q1, MPC’s equity ratio stood at 57% with available liquidity of USD52m. For the rest of 2020, we estimate an average TCE rate adjusted for utilisation of USD7.6k/day, slightly above MPC’s reported Q1 cash breakeven (excluding recurring capex and financing) of USD6.6k/day, but below our estimated cash breakeven for Q1 (excluding non-recurring capex and based on ownership days) of USD7.7k/day. We reiterate our HOLD but have cut our target price to NOK8 (NOK10).
We reiterate our HOLD but have cut our target price to NOK15 (24). The FSRU market seems to be improving, and we see significant upside potential if Höegh LNG fixes its four open units on long-term charters. However, time is of the essence for Höegh LNG Holdings. Its fleet of open FSRUs continues to secure time charters as LNGCs, but with rates down to USD40k/day, we estimate cash burn per vessel could potentially reach USD14m in 2021, highlighting the need to sign several FSRU contracts in 20...
Based on our new sector rate forecasts, and adjusted for Hunter’s announced timecharters and Q2 spot rate guidance, we estimate EPS of USD0.17 (NOK1.7) through our forecast horizon – corresponding to 46% of the current market cap. The potential refinancing is guided to take run-rate cash breakeven to USD20.5k/day, and we believe the company remains committed to returning capital to its shareholders. We reiterate our BUY and NOK4.8 target price.
Uneventful Q1 Golden Ocean’s dividend was cut to zero as the company directs its focus towards cash preserving and “increasing (its) liquidity if the weak market continuesâ€. On our current rate estimates we do not expect the company to breach its covenants and expect the 2021 facility to be refinanced before maturity. However, liquidity could become a concern in a prolonged downturn. We reiterate our HOLD and have cut our target price to NOK34 (38).
We have upgraded our crude tanker stocks to BUY (HOLD) as the global crude inventory build looks to be only 25% of what we feared in April, and the recovery in oil demand and oil prices offers upside potential when OPEC+ volumes rebound. The tanker peer group implies a VLCC resale value of USD84m, near the low.
We reiterate our HOLD on Star Bulk and have cut our target price to USD5.8 (USD6.8). Through the combination of fuel spreads and timecharter coverage, the company has secured a large part of its earnings days for 2020 near cash break-even, protecting the downside in the current challenging dry bulk market.
We have updated our estimates, owing to the recent Q1 results. We do not consider these changes to be material, and we have not changed our BUY recommendation. We have raised our target price from NOK37 to NOK39, as we see a reduced discount to our one-year forward NAV as warranted.
Fresh floating storage data from Kpler and almost daily a string of OPEC+ cuts suggest a rate collapse by early Q3 and that our H2 forecasts could prove too optimistic. However, owing to a small orderbook and old fleet, we reiterate our HOLD and NOK88 target price.
