NH Investment & Securities lowered its price target for Samsung Heavy Industries, highlighting floating data center projects as the key to future growth.

What Happened

Price Target Adjustment: NH Investment & Securities maintained a 'Buy' rating on Samsung Heavy Industries but lowered its target price to 32,000 KRW from 34,000 KRW. The adjustment reflects limited upside potential in LNG carrier prices and a conservative long-term growth forecast.

Data Center Potential: Analysts suggest that the company's future stock performance hinges on securing orders for floating data centers. Samsung Heavy is currently in the detailed design phase for a 50MW floating data center project in collaboration with a U.S. developer.

Earnings Outlook: The company's third-quarter results are expected to meet market expectations, driven by increased outsourcing of oil tankers. Profitability is projected to improve steadily through 2028 as contract prices and exchange rates remain favorable.

Order Momentum: Samsung Heavy has already exceeded its annual order target for merchant vessels. Management remains optimistic about securing additional contracts for LNG carriers and tankers while utilizing its expanded dock capacity to meet new market demands.
