Both regions reported strong earnings and painted a positive outlook for 2023 due to rising oil demand, tight supply and a renewed focus on energy security – all of which should force an increase in global hydrocarbon production says Loh.Other positives for the sector include the increase in the backlog for the floating production and storage (FPS) systems, which grew by 63% since its low in 1QFY2022. The increase indicates that the material free cash flow generated by oil companies is being invested, notes Loh.“In addition, we highlight that there are 176 projects globally in the appraisal, planning or bidding/final design stages, all of which will require FPS systems which Seatrium is exposed to,” he adds.Seatrium could also benefit from the demand/supply gap that may stem from the growth in global offshore wind and Europe’s continued push into wind. Industry estimates that global offshore wind could grow by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% to 20% over the 2022-2030/2035 period although Europe may face supply-related problems in or around 2028/2029 when offshore turbine towers and wind tower manufacturing capacity may see demand far outstripping supply.“In our view, Seatrium could benefit from this in the next six to 12 months as European governments take note of the demand/supply gap and place orders for offshore structures well in advance,” says Loh.“There is precedence in this given that in March, Seatrium received a EUR3 billion ($4.44 billion) order for offshore wind farm structures that would only be delivered between 2029-2031,” he adds.Among the O&M companies, Loh continues to like Seatrium, giving it a “buy” call with a target price of 17 cents.“We believe that the company will benefit from stronger offshore marine dynamics as well as demand for offshore vessels and structures related to the renewables industry. In addition, the normalisation of economic activity should result in a greater volume of shipping activities thus positively impacting its repairs/upgrades segment,” he says.The analyst also expects another $10 billion upside to its current orderbook of $20 billion with Seatrium looking to bid for another two floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units with each priced at US$3 billion on top of the four FPSOs that it has from Petrobras.It is also looking at a few other floating production units at US$1 billion each, which are likely to be from repeat customers such as ExxonMobil.“The company also foreshadowed easy cost synergies from bringing these four FPSOs under one Seatrium and Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M) roof,” says Loh.“In addition, Seatrium has stated that offshore wind in developed markets such as the US and Europe remain highly promising,” he adds. “Post-1QFY2023, management affirmed that it has the capacity to accept more projects – and is looking to fill its 2028/2029 production schedule – but given the shortage of global yard capacity and strong level of enquiries it will not ‘sell slots’.”To Loh, the movements tie up with the industry data that he’s seen so far and he expects a continued order-win momentum to drive Seatrium’s share price in the near- to medium-term.Another company investors should be looking at within the O&M space is Yangzijiang Shipbuilding. Loh has given a “buy” rating for the company with a target price of $1.65.Yangzijiang’s order wins continue to be robust with the company winning orders for 46 vessels with a total contract value of US$4.42 billion in the 1QFY2023.“Yangzijiang currently has 180 vessels in its orderbook totalling US$14.6 billion which is its highest ever. Year-to-date, the company has US$5.6 billion in new orders thus exceeding its FY2023 target of US$3 billion,” notes Loh.“We expect management to revise this target up to at least US$7 billion at its 1HFY2023 results in mid- to late-August. We note that Chinese steel costs have come down on a y-o-y basis, potentially setting Yangzijiang up for strong 1HFY2023 results,” he adds.Shares in Seatrium closed at 14.4 cents while shares in Yangzijiang closed at $1.53 on July 13.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComments":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":10,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
