Austal ( (AU:ASB) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Austal Limited has reached an agreement with the United States Navy to resolve its Request for Equitable Adjustment concerning the Towing, Salvage, and Rescue Ship (T-ATS) program. Initially valued at $145 million for two vessels, the contract expanded to five vessels with a total value of $380 million. Due to challenges such as late technical data and design discrepancies, the contract was deemed onerous. The resolution results in the permanent halt of construction on two vessels, with the contract now limited to three ships. This agreement aligns with previous financial provisions and is expected to have no further impact on Austal’s revenue or earnings.
The most recent analyst rating on (AU:ASB) stock is a Hold with a A$7.07 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Austal stock, see the AU:ASB Stock Forecast page.
