Aker BP (Buy, TP: NOK292.00) - Ahead of Q3 report

We have cut our estimates to reflect the slightly soft production update on 14 October, as well as the USD80m impairment to be booked in Q3. We forecast Q3 EBITDA of USD481m, in line with consensus (results due at 07:00 CET on 22 October). We see some downside risk to the 2019 guidance, although this is largely dependent on the Sverdrup ramp-up; hence, our base case is that Aker BP will wait before changing its guidance. We reiterate our BUY and NOK292 target price.
