We consider the weaker-than-expected Q2 guidance a ‘bump in the road’, and expect trading performance to improve into H2. We thus see limited changes to the long-term investment case. Further, the company remains mostly spot-exposed on its tanker capacity, which we find supportive given our constructive outlook on the segment with plenty of potential catalysts. Hence, we reiterate our BUY, but have lowered our target price to NOK109 (112).
In our view, KCC’s business model is looking increasingly attractive amid macroeconomic uncertainty and more stringent fuel regulations. Furthermore, it maintains exposure to what we consider favourable tanker markets with potential positive catalysts (e.g. successful enforcement of sanctions and increasing OPEC+ volumes), while the market concerns about potential reversals of initially positive disruptions seem overdone. We reiterate our BUY, but have cut our target price to NOK112 (125).
The US Trade Representative on 17 April published revised US port fees with significant changes to the initial proposal based on industry feedback. In its current form, the fees will primarily discourage use of Chinese-controlled maritime trade services to the US, and directly affect the use of Chinese-built vessels in US ports (with several considerable exemptions to avoid harm to US trade). The previous broader fees based on fleet composition and share of Chinese-built vessels has been scrappe...

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...

Despite negative revisions to our 2025e EBITDA on the Q1 guidance and weaker underlying markets, we still believe Klaveness Combination Carriers has a superior risk profile from its dynamic market exposure (dry bulk, tanker and fuel prices), while also achieving 2025–2026e earning yields in line with or above its pure sector peers. Thus, we find the stock remains undervalued, and we reiterate our BUY. We have lowered our target price to NOK125 (128).
