Cadeler's most followed valuation narrative points to a fair value of NOK70.36 per share, compared with the last close at NOK56.90, which implies a meaningful discount if those assumptions prove correct.
Structural undersupply of advanced wind turbine installation and foundation vessels toward the end of the decade, combined with ongoing upscaling of turbines and deepwater project complexity, is described as creating strong pricing power and long-term visibility for Cadeler's modern fleet, underpinning higher vessel dayrates, improved utilization, and revenue growth.
