Nomura starts STX OSV as reduce

Stock Name: STXOSV
Company Name: STX OSV HOLDINGS LIMITED
Research House: NomuraPrice Call: SELLTarget Price: 1.68



Nomura initiates coverage of Singapore-listed offshore vessel builder STX OSV Holdings with a reduce rating and a target price of $1.68.

STX OSV’s shares have risen 53% so far this year to close at $1.78 on Monday.

“Although the outlook for the company and the offshore support industry remains relatively positive, order book replenishment remains a concern,” Nomura said in a report.

The broker said new contracts secured so far this year only accounts for 10% of Nomura’s order win assumptions.

It said STX OSV’s valuations also look lofty, as it is trading at 8.7 times its 2012 forward price-to-earnings ratio, the high end of its historical PE band of 4-9 times.

Out of 12 brokers tracking the stock, 11 have a buy or strong buy and one has a hold rating.
