DBS: Reiterates bullish outlook on oil tanker shipping stocks, with target price of HKD 11.1 for Cosco Ship Engy.
Morgan Stanley released a research report stating that the short-term stock price adjustment caused by seasonal factors has basically ended and reiterated its bullish outlook on crude oil shipping stocks. It also pointed out that there is potential for an increase in crude oil production in the fourth quarter of this year, which will be a positive catalyst for the fundamentals. It also reiterated its 'shareholding' rating for COSCO Shipping Energy Transportation Co., Ltd. (01138) and raised its target price from HKD 10 to HKD 11.1. The report states that the crude oil tanker market has been less volatile this year than last year due to weak demand. Although the high point of the spot market in the first quarter of this year is lower than the same period last year, the second quarter is historically the off-season, and crude oil tanker freight rates are still far above the industry breakeven level, exhibiting stronger performance compared to traditional boom cycles.
