After winning a $670m contract from General Dynamics Electric Boat (GDEB), Austal will expand its shipyard in Mobile, Alabama. A new module fabrication and outfitting facility will be designed and constructed to support the U.S. Navy Submarine Industrial Base.

Construction will begin this year and be completed in 2026.

The contract win is a major development for Austal, suggests Bell Potter, partly because fabrication provides a long-term pipeline of sustainable work and funding from GDEB alleviates any potential balance sheet concern.

Buy rating retained. Target is increased to $3.15 from $2.75.

FORECAST
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 0.00 cents and EPS of 13.90 cents.
Bell Potter forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 4.00 cents and EPS of 19.20 cents.
