The Q1 result was solid, with ROE above 15%, NII holding up better than feared and solid cost control. We are puzzled by the relatively mild NII decline so far since rate cuts began circa a year ago, but find it increasingly likely that it will be less dramatic than we previously thought. Still, we find the NII outlook as rather uncertain, see downside risk to consensus revenues, and expect the ROE to fall below 15% next quarter. We reiterate our HOLD, but have raised our 2025–2027e EPS by 3–6% ...
Golar entered into 20-year agreements for 5.95mtpa nameplate capacity in Argentina – one of the world’s largest FLNG development projects. Golar LNG Limited (“GLNG”, “Golar” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the Final Investment Decision (“FID”) and fulfilment of all conditions precedent for the 20-year re-deployment charter of the FLNG Hilli Episeyo (“FLNG Hilli” or “Hilli”), first announced on July 5, 2024. The vessel will be chartered to Southern Energy S.A. (“SESA”), offshore Argentina. In addition, Golar and SESA have signed definitive agreements for a 20-year charter for the M...
We believe the tanker fundamentals continue to look attractive, in particular for the VLCCs, with a highly manageable ~4% deliveries expected for 2025–2026. Further, we see potential positive catalysts in sanctions further restricting volumes transported on the dark fleet (possibly triggering scrapping postponed by shadow fleet deployment) and signs of a more aggressive volume strategy from OPEC+. Hence, we reiterate our BUY but have reduced out target price to NOK280 (295).

We believe focus for investors will be the potential contracts in Argentina rather than the Q1 report. Recent developments look to have left Golar LNG in pole position for two FLNGs for ~6mtpa Argentine LNG exports, and we would expect more visibility once the FID for Hilli is in place in Q2e. Moreover, we believe the project pipeline could allow for further announcements in due course as the company maintains an option for FLNG #4 at the shipyard. Hence, we find the risk/reward has improved des...
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...
