Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (Holdings) (YZJSGD SP) After The Containership Boom, LNG Carriers May Be The New Hope
We highlight that YZJ could announce over US$2.4b worth of shipbuilding orders in the near term. In addition, we believe that it is in the running for a large LNG carrier order after it obtained a licence for membrane technologies. While construction of LNG carriers may lead to a mild erosion of gross margin in the medium term, the structural tailwinds, market size and potential growth are difficult to ignore, in our view. Maintain BUY. Upgrade target price to S$1.44.
