Aker BP (Buy, TP: NOK280.00) - Improving Sverdrup sentiment

We consider the underlying Q3 results in line, with a solid FCF beat helped by working capital release. Due to solid performance from the drilled wells put into production at Johan Sverdrup YTD, the field is now likely to produce at plateau “well into 2025” (previously “early 2025”). We believe Aker BP could benefit from operational tailwinds into 2025, with consensus possibly underestimating the production potential. We reiterate our BUY and NOK280 target price.
