We maintain a BUY call on an unchanged valuation of $2.45. Ongoing investment in capability and capacity in the USA and defence needs under a continuous shipbuilding strategy in Australia should allow Austal to grow its top line well into the next decade. The capex needed to support this growth will become clearer during 2024 and we expect margin will lift to levels that will generate strong sustainable returns on this investment.
