TS Lines Pre-IPO | Like Wan Hai Lines, but Smaller | Intra-Asia Update | Approaches to Valuation
- In terms of fleet characteristics, market exposure, and recent financial performance, we believe T.S. Lines (TSL HK) and Taiwan’s Wan Hai Lines (2615 TT) are directly comparable
- WHL has more exposure to the Transpacific, but still boasts a much larger Intra-Asia operation owing to its scale advantage (fleet and revenue about four times the size of TSL)
- Given the similarities we outline in this insight, we believe TSL’s shares should trade at EV/Fleet and EV/Revenue multiples in line with WHL’s; no premium is justified, in our view
