South Korean Shipbuilding Stocks' Valuations Could Correct in 2H -- Market Talk

Dow Jones03-20 11:47

0347 GMT - Elevated valuations of South Korean shipbuilding stocks could correct in 2H, Nomura's Eon Hwang says. Expectations for more defense contract wins and higher freight rates amid disruptions in the Suez Canal and Strait of Hormuz may support valuations in 1H, but falling new ship prices and easing Middle East tensions turn Nomura cautious on 2H, the analyst writes in a note. Nomura downgrades its ratings on HD Hyundai Heavy Industries to reduce from neutral, and slashes target price by 33% to 350,000 won. Its intermediate holding company HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering is also downgraded to neutral from buy, with its target price cut by 33% to 410,000 won. HD Hyundai Heavy is down 0.7% at 563,000 won, and HD Korea Shipbuilding is 1.6% lower at 407,000 won. (kwanwoo.jun@wsj.com)
