Okeanis Eco Tankers (OB:OET): Reassessing Valuation After $90m Debt Deal for New Suezmax Fleet Expansion

Okeanis Eco Tankers (OB:OET) just locked in two new 90 million dollar debt facilities to finance its latest Suezmax newbuilds, a move that tightens fleet expansion plans and reshapes the medium term cash flow picture for shareholders.

See our latest analysis for Okeanis Eco Tankers.

The fresh debt facilities land after a powerful run, with the share price still up about 32 percent year to date and the 1 year total shareholder return near 59 percent. However, recent 1 month share price weakness suggests momentum is cooling as investors reassess risk and growth expectations.

If this kind of shipping expansion has your attention, it could be a good moment to broaden your watchlist and explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With the stock still trading at a steep discount to analyst targets despite stellar multi year returns, the key question now is whether Okeanis Eco Tankers remains undervalued or if the market is already pricing in its future growth.

Most Popular Narrative Narrative: 22.5% Undervalued

With Okeanis Eco Tankers last closing at NOK328 against a narrative fair value near NOK423, the valuation debate now centers on how sustainable future profitability could be.

Significant recent refinancing activity has lowered financing costs, staggered maturities, and reduced daily cash break evens, giving Okeanis more financial flexibility and further increasing earnings resilience and potential margin expansion, especially in volatile markets.

Another Angle On Valuation

While the narrative fair value points to Okeanis Eco Tankers being meaningfully undervalued, its current price tag looks far less generous when you look at earnings. The stock trades on 15.1 times earnings versus about 11.6 times for the wider European oil and gas group and 12.1 times for close peers.

Our fair ratio for Okeanis Eco Tankers is closer to 8.3 times earnings, which is well below where the market is currently trading it. That gap hints at valuation risk rather than a clear bargain, especially if rates soften or growth underwhelms. Are investors leaning too hard on the optimistic narrative?
