We have cut our near-term forecast to reflect heightened uncertainty and more cautious full-year guidance, but remain confident that the majority (79%) of the current market cap should be derisked by end-2027e, leaving an attractive stub value for the long-term business potential in the world-leading car carrier.

We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to NOK123 (125).
