Last Friday Golden Ocean announced that CMB.Tech now controls two out of four of its board seats. This follows the strategic acquisition in early March of the 40.8% stake previously held by John Frederiksen. This morning during trading hours, CMB.Tech further bolstered its position by announcing a significant long-term time charter agreement with the Japanese shipping conglomerate MOL, involving nine ammonia-ready/fitted vessels. This agreement adds approximately $675 million (pro rata) to its $...
We expect more news to be announced on its Golden Ocean ambitions in the weeks ahead, but the recent SEC filing could indicate a potential future share-based tie-up. In such a scenario, CMB.TECH would vastly expand its dry bulk exposure, with potentially cash-generating assets on the water. However, this is at odds with our more muted dry bulk sector outlook and what we believe was a premium valuation. We reinstate our recommendation with a SELL and USD7.6 target price.
The recurring theme at our 18th Energy & Shipping Conference was geopolitical uncertainty and a potential trade war, warranting a wait-and-see approach, particularly on the Trump 2.0 effect. The consensus view pointed to high asset values, with no rush to the yards, aligning with below-NAV valuations across most of our coverage. However, panellists generally saw less downside risk than the 25% average discount to steel for our Tanker, Dry Bulk and Gas coverage. Overall, the day highlighted uncer...
Air France-KLM: Surprising 4Q to the upside. CMB.TECH: A golden step into Golden Ocean? EVS: Evertz 3Q25 results. GBL: Boosting its liquidity profile. Gimv: Continued transaction spree post capital increase. Solvay: 4Q24 beat, 2025F guide in-line, reaffirmed 2028F target. Talabat: Completes InstaShop acquisition
The company has agreed to acquire Hemen’s Golden Ocean stake (40.8%) at a price around the peak share price in May 2024, and above the market (46%) and our NAV (15%). On the face of it, we see NAV dilution for CMB.TECH, while initially the only change for Golden Ocean shareholders is a shift in main shareholder from John Fredriksen to the Saverys family. Given DNB Markets’ role in the transaction, we have withdrawn our recommendation and target price.
CMB.TECH is transitioning into a modern, future-proof fleet and diversifying cash flows along the way. However, we believe the shift will continue to strain the company’s balance sheet and dividend potential in the coming quarters. Further, given our more constructive view on the tanker segments versus dry bulk, we continue to prefer its pure tanker peers in the near term. Hence, we reiterate our HOLD and have lowered our target price to USD10.0 (10.7).
Aalberts: Dividend and outlook better than expected. Ackermans & van Haaren: Anticipating an all-time-high result from core segments. Ageas: FY24 in line, strong capital, outlook for upsteams. AMG: Strong 4Q24 beat and 2025F guidance upgrade. CFE: Solid results and balance sheet, outlook weak. CMB.TECH: Cautious on outlook. Corbion: Not so sweet. CTP: Good results, 2025 outlook realistic. D'Ieteren: Boyd's Five-Year Goals. Exor: Ferrari €3bn ABB and €1bn SBB. Sofina: Further ...

CMB.TECH is steadily steering towards diversified and ‘future-proof’ shipping. However, this transition comes with significant capex needs that could curtail shareholder distributions medium-term and may leave its pure tanker peers in a better position to capitalise on a potentially imminent tanker upcycle. We reiterate our HOLD but have cut our target price to USD10.7 (14.1).
We resume coverage following the closure of the reopened MTO on November 21. Only 0.7% of outstanding shares were tendered into the bid bringing the free float to 7% (from 7.7%). When announcing the outcome of the tender, CMB.Tech once more reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining its listing. During the tender the stock nosedived well below its NAV while supply side dynamics in the crude tanker and dry bulk market remain largely supportive. The company has a sound financing plan for its ongoing...
