SEACOR Marine $SMHI has launched a strategic review, looking for value maximizing transactions – tough, clearly preferably a full sale. This comes after a ton of pressure from Pointillist (the largest shareholder), which argued SMHI’s market cap massively undervalues a fleet. Their thesis: the offshore cycle has fully recovered, but SMHI’s equity still trades at well below its $22/share broker appraised value. Seacor remains weighed down by high interest costs, G&A expenses, and subpar utilization, forcing asset sales to bolster liquidity. The premium PSV fleet alone should be worth ~$11/ share, with FSVs and Middle East liftboats pushing embedded value to $15/share+, vs. today’s price.
