Equity Bottom-Up

Teekay Tankers Ltd Class A / Equity Bottom-Up

We have scaled down our fair value estimate to USD 6.40 per share (from USD 8.60 earlier) but maintained our Attractive view on the stock, as we believe its profitability will decline slightly with expected weakness in freight rates from the second half of the year when newbuild vessels join the fleet. We have also placed the company in the Medium risk category with a stable outlook over the long term; however, gearing higher than its peers is a concern. Aggressive fleet expansion at a time when tanker shipping is leading the maritime industry will be the key catalyst for the company.

In this note: 1) some interesting reversals, 2) some updates on stock pick performances, 3) other updates and items of note. A few enclosures added.Of all the interesting things that happened over the last few weeks, to me, were two reversals most investors would have not gone for until they happened. Ultimately, it was a story about the market expecting key commodities to retreat, only to find the reverse.Interesting piece from Rickards last week is discussed.

Teekay companies came out with a set of results. Frankly, it is not about the results but about the corporate actions and the forward indicators of corporate changes that can be done. Detailed TK updates are available from the company’s investor portal in the usual high detail. See http://teekay.com/ … I only have a few key points to make, which I think cut to the chase.

On Saturday, 16 January 2016, the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) submitted a report to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) certifying that Iran has satisfied its obligations under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the agreement reached in July 2015 among Iran, the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, Germany and France.1As a result, 16 January 2016 is “Implementation Day” under the JCPOA, triggering the easing of certain sanctions against Iran by the United States, European Union and United Nations Security Council.The sanctions relief creates a significant asymmetry between U.S. and non-U.S. persons in dealings with Iran: U.S. sanctions continue to prohibit U.S. nationals and companies from most Iranian activities (though non-U.S. subsidiaries of U.S. companies now are authorized to engage in most activities with Iran), while EU (and other non-U.S.) persons are now affected only by vastly reduced prohibitions and are largely (but not entirely) free from the threat of “secondary” U.S. sanctions.Below we summarize the timing and scope of the sanctions relief which now comes into effect. We will publish more detailed guidance in the coming days.
