Freedom Broker initiates coverage on Dorian LPG stock with Buy rating

Investing.com - Freedom Broker initiated coverage on Dorian LPG Ltd. (NYSE:LPG) with a Buy rating and a price target of $48.00 on Monday. The stock, which has delivered an impressive 41% return year-to-date, currently trades above its InvestingPro Fair Value.

The research firm cited Dorian’s attractive dividend yield (currently 8.73%), strong balance sheet (with a current ratio of 3.32), and market position as key factors supporting the positive outlook for the liquefied petroleum gas transportation company. InvestingPro analysis confirms the company’s solid financial foundation with an overall health score of "GOOD."

Freedom Broker noted that Dorian LPG specializes in the global transportation of liquefied petroleum gas, with approximately 90% of its revenue coming from the spot market and the remaining 10% from long-term contracts.

The company’s primary shipping routes extend from the Arabian Gulf to Asia, where demand continues to be supported by cleaner fuel adoption, petrochemical industry growth, and evolving trade dynamics.

The $48.00 price target represents potential upside for Dorian LPG, which operates in a sector benefiting from structural demand drivers in Asian markets.
