What are the goals for the new Transport & Logistics unit at Maersk? What synergies does management anticipate from the acquisition of Hamburg Süd? And what will Donald Trump's US election victory mean?
Analysts and investors are hoping that these questions and more will be answered when Maersk Group hosts its annual Capital Markets Day on Tuesday in Copenhagen.
Meanwhile, Maersk faces a difficult task with the acquisition of Germany's Hamburg Süd, which will strengthen the carrier on the container market, currently characterized by large-scale consolidation.
In a new update, Fearnley Securities lists ten questions which could help answer where the Maersk Group is headed and how the conglomerate plans to overcome challenges.
"With the strategic review still being relatively fresh we expect no firm action announced tomorrow. However, we think management will paint a solid picture for the new Maersk, which should spur at least some excitement to the market," writes the Norwegian analyst agency.
Read here what Fearnley Securities hopes to learn more about after Tuesday's Capital Markets Day.
- When will improved spot rates translate into higher earnings for Maersk?
- What are the expectations in relation to contract renewals for the full-year 2017?
- What will be the main goals and financial benchmarks for the new Transport & Logistics unit?
- What are the potential synergy effects from the acquisition of Hamburg Süd?
- How do supply and demand look in the liner business in 2017 and beyond?
