Aker BP (Hold, TP: NOK300.00) - A high price paid to add barrels

Aker BP’s acquisition of Lundin Energy’s oil and gas business will make the company the no.3 NCS producer, and the complementary cash flow profiles offer a strategically sound combination, in our view. However, limited synergies and upside to Lundin’s portfolio, as well as a high transaction value have led us to lower our Aker BP NAV to NOK228/share. We have cut our target price to NOK300 (350) and reiterate our HOLD.
