Context and risks
The blockade of Hormuz and the attacks in the Red Sea/Bab el-Mandeb directly affect Maersk's shipping routes, increasing security costs and transit times. The recent escalation on August 31 and the possibility of a deal that deflates the risk premium create significant asymmetry in oil prices and freight rates.

Verdict: Hold, capitalizing on momentum but watching for the normalization of the freight cycle and geopolitical risks on key routes.
Main risk: The normalization of freight rates after the cyclical peak and the potential resolution of the conflict in the Strait of Hormuz/Red Sea, which could quickly reverse current exceptional profits.
