Hana Securities has issued a buy rating on Samsung E&A, citing expanding opportunities in LNG liquefaction plants and carbon neutrality projects. The brokerage expects the company to benefit from global LNG supply chain diversification following the Middle East conflict, with new projects emerging in Latin America and Africa. Samsung E&A is also advancing CCS projects in the US, including the Wabash and Crescent facilities, which capture millions of tons of CO2 annually. The report forecasts Samsung E&A's new energy revenue to grow from 1.35 trillion won this year to 2.79 trillion won by 2027, with order backlog more than doubling. The company is partnering with Honeywell on LNG and CCS projects, targeting both large and mid-sized contracts. Hana Securities sees medium to long-term upside from Middle East reconstruction and energy supply chain realignment after the war ends.

Interesting to see a Korean EPC firm betting on CCS as a growth driver. The Wabash and Crescent numbers are decent but I wonder how firm those offtake agreements are.

The LNG expansion angle makes sense if supply chains really do shift post conflict. But the revenue projections feel optimistic given how long these projects take to actually reach FID.

CCS projects in the US have a mixed track record on timelines. The 3.5 million tons per year for Crescent sounds big but I would want to see injection permits and pipeline routing before counting that.

Samsung E&A partnering with Honeywell on LNG is a known play. The real question is whether they can compete with established players like Technip or McDermott on cost.

Carbon neutrality as a growth axis for an EPC firm is interesting but I would want clarity on whether these CCS projects are tied to 45Q tax credits or just voluntary offsets. That changes the economics.

The revenue jump from 1.35T to 2.79T in two years is a big ask. CCS and LNG plants have long lead times and cost overruns are common. I would discount those numbers heavily.
