Vow reported strong Q1 revenues, 23% above our estimate and 14% above consensus, but with low conversion to EBITDA (EBITDA margin broadly in line our estimate but 1.1%-points below consensus). Management remained upbeat on Industrial solutions, but with firm contracts still being pushed out in time, we believe the market put little emphasis on this. With the stock trading at a 2023e EV/EBITDA of 11.9x and a 2024e of 10.2x, the implied growth expectations have come down. We reiterate our BUY and ...
The Q1 results were strong, with higher EBITDA than in all full years since at least 2015, significantly de-risking our estimates on strong revenue growth from 2022. With a backlog of NOK1.1bn and an outlook for continued solid order intake, we believe the stock should attract more attention. We have upgraded to BUY (HOLD) and raised our target price to NOK12 (9) on the encouraging Q1.
We struggle to find good explanations for the 40% share price decline since the H2 report other than the lack of large-order intake and still no news on a construction permit for the USD27m Landbased contract in the US awarded in May 2022. We have cut our 2024–2025e EBITDA by 27–30%, mainly on lower order-intake estimates in Landbased, and in turn our target price to NOK15 (21). However, we have upgraded to BUY (HOLD) following the re-set of implied growth expectations.
With strong share price performance YTD, especially since its Q4 report, we find the shares fairly valued using a 2023e EV/EBITDA of 13x. While we see a fair value potential to NOK13/share if using 2024e, we would like to see some confirmation on this year’s estimates before emphasising 2024e and onward, as our 2023e revenues imply 54% YOY growth and 2024e another 18%, despite strong order intake in 2022e having significantly de-risked our forecasts. Thus we have downgraded to HOLD (BUY) but rei...
Cambi reported solid Q4 results, well above our estimates. Although this was somewhat timing related, based on faster project execution than we expected, we believe this marked the start of tailwinds following several disappointing quarters. The report also increased our confidence in our 2023 estimates, with Cambi’s 2023–2024 equipment order intake target raised by ~NOK300m (on a like-for-like basis). We reiterate our BUY and have increased our target price to NOK9 (8) based on a 2023e EV/EBITD...
While H2 revenues were in line with our estimates and consensus, EBITDA fell short by 19% on higher costs, mainly due to personnel expenses. As a result, and partly due to slower phasing of the Landbased contract in the US, we have cut our 2023e EBITDA by 10%. We have thus lowered our target price to NOK21 (22) on estimate revisions and downgraded to HOLD (BUY) as we find the stock fairly valued. In our view, Vow needs to secure more firm contracts before we are likely to see a further re-rating...
We believe Q4 could mark the start of strong revenue and earnings growth QOQ for the next few quarters. We see a continued strong backlog build, with NOK490m–590m in announced equipment order intake lifting the backlog to above NOK1bn in Q4e. We reiterate our BUY and have increased our target price to NOK8 (7) on estimate revisions.
Ahead of the H2 report, we forecast Q4 revenues of NOK191m, broadly in line with the guidance but 7% below Bloomberg consensus. Before Christmas, Vow announced another MoU in Landbased, but with previous firm contracts taking longer than expected from MoU, the market is unlikely to put too much emphasis on this. We consider the continued progress in the segment positive, reiterating our BUY and raising our target price to NOK22 (21) on higher peer-group multiples.
