Is Cadeler A/S (NYSE:CDLR) a buy in 2026?
Yes, on balance. The Compass leans toward accumulating Cadeler A/S at current levels.
Ten jack-ups, a decade-long order book, and a sector everyone left for dead. Cadeler is the offshore wind toll booth.
Where CDLR is headed
Cadeler runs ten of the most capable offshore wind installation vessels in the world by late 2027, with the Wind Pace and Wind Ally newbuilds joining a fleet already booked solid through the back half of the decade. That matters because the installable turbines have grown faster than the ships that can lift them. A modern 15MW Siemens Gamesa or Vestas turbine needs a crane that reaches over 160 metres with thousand-tonne lift capacity. There are fewer than fifteen vessels globally that qualify, and Cadeler owns or has on order roughly a third of them. The market calls this a duopoly with Eneti/Seaway7. We call it a toll booth on every European and Taiwanese offshore wind farm built between now and 2032.
