BW LPG is benefiting from elevated VLGC shipping rates caused by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, leading to strong earnings and high dividends. However, its aggressive plan to build 8 new VLGC vessels for $940 million increases financial leverage and risk, especially given a record-high orderbook for 2027. The estimated net asset value (NAV) is $22 per share before Q2 results, with potential to rise to $25 if current disruptions continue and dividends stay strong. Key risks include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a potential drop in shipping rates due to the large orderbook, which could negatively impact earnings, leverage, and dividend payouts.
