Had a SFL stake thru mid Dec 2023, then sold. Does SFL have upside?
In 2024, the two older car carriers have contracts with great margins. The new car carriers will add to revenue. Hercules will complete a contract in Namibia, and then head back to Canada for a follow-on contract (with better terms). Offsetting that is the uncertain prospects for the smaller dry bulk vessels and some of the smaller container vessels. SFL also absorbs larger operating costs as a result of switching to a regular cost model (vs bareboat hire with the Seadrill model).
Is SFL’s current price worth the low-to-medium risk?
