In a July 16 report, RHB analyst Alfie Yeo is keeping Marco Polo Marine (MPM) on his ‘buy’ list with unchanged target valuation of 21 cents.

On the back of the firm’s “accelerating” growth outlook, driven by growing fleet size and higher capacity at its shipyard and framework agreements for new contracts with Siemens Gamesa, RHB believes “buoyant” charter contracts and higher shipyard revenue for MPM, forecasting FY2025-2028 earnings CAGR to be 22%.

Yeo notes that plans to increase Taiwan subsidiary PKR Offshore’s (PKRO) fleet are in progress. Currently, PKRO owns and MPM’s sole commissioning service operation vessel (CSOV), MP Wind Archer, which has been deployed since April 2025 in Taiwan. MPM is currently constructing at its Batam shipyard a CSOV+ scheduled for delivery in the second quarter of 2028 to PKRO.

MPM has also planned for a third CSOV to be added to its fleet. Together, the CSOVs will complement MPM’s deployment of crew transfer vessels (CTVs) across Taiwan and the region.

RHB expects MPM’s growth in FY2026 to be supported by a full 12-month contribution from both its newly deployed vessels. The new fourth dry dock, which turned operational in August last year, should also support revenue growth as MPM will be able to take on more ship repair jobs. RHB says that its estimates are unchanged, as the new agreement with Siemens Gamasa was factored into its previously anticipated revenue and earnings growth estimates.

Based on forecasted P/E of 17 times and 2% yield, RHB values MPM at 21 cents.

As at around 9.50 am on July 17, MPM is trading at 12.7 cents, down 0.2 cents or 1.6%.
