Simply Wall St · 1d ago

DOF Group (OB:DOFG) just received a letter of intent for a large offshore contract valued between US$50 million and US$100 million. The contract is expected to secure an I-class vessel in early 2028.

Set against this new letter of intent, DOF Group’s NOK130.6 share price comes after a 1-day share price return of 1.24% and a year-to-date share price return of 36.04%, while the 1-year total shareholder return of 52.26% points to strong momentum building around the broader contract backlog story.

DOF Group now has a thicker contract book and a share price that has already moved a long way. The business looks solid, but is NOK130.6 actually giving you a fair entry today or charging a premium?

Most Popular Narrative: 10.4% Undervalued

Against DOF Group's last close of NOK130.6, the most followed narrative pegs fair value at NOK145.80, using a 7.56% discount rate and a long contract backlog as the core support for that number.

Recent multi-year contract wins with Petrobras and other clients, combined with significant increases in day rates (some up 30%) have boosted DOF Group's backlog above $4 billion, substantially de-risking near-term earnings and supporting revenue growth through at least 2030. High and rising vessel utilization rates, especially for the technologically-advanced subsea fleet, are allowing for premium pricing and margin expansion, reflecting robust offshore energy demand and increased investment in complex offshore projects globally.

See why 26 investors see DOF Group as 10% undervalued.

Result: Fair Value of NOK145.80 (UNDERVALUED)

Still, heavy exposure to Brazil and Petrobras, along with high debt and ongoing vessel investment needs, could quickly challenge the upbeat DOF Group backlog story.
