Key Takeaway

KEY TAKEAWAY: $TDW, Tidewater’s “Uneconomic” Supply Gap is creating a massive tailwind as the company leverages a “long-term structural undersupply” of offshore vessels. Portfolio Manager Andrew Slay notes that Tidewater currently benefits from a “larger, newer fleet” while high construction costs make building new ships financially unviable for competitors. This supply-side “moat” allows Tidewater to command higher day rates than the market anticipates. As the stock approaches 52-week highs, Kennondale’s analysis suggests the firm is the primary beneficiary of a market where supply simply cannot catch up to rising offshore demand.
