Fearnley downgraded Ardmore Shipping to Hold from Buy with a price target of $19, down from $23.

Product Tanker earnings are normalizing and facing higher supply than ton mile growth, while the VLCCs “look more robust through the low OB and a promising ton mile growth story,” the analyst tells investors in a research note. With risks of run cuts through normalizing crack spreads, Fearnley sees potential for lower than expected volumes next year and pressure on product tanker rates.
