Archer (Buy, TP: NOK1.50) - Lagging behind peers

We forecast Q2 EBITDA of USD29m (no consensus available), up 14% QOQ, partly driven by the contribution from acquired businesses (including Baker Hughes’ UK coiled tubing business). Archer’s share price is lagging behind peers and is up only 14% since early June, while key offshore drillers and well services companies are up 30%. The gap is even larger on an EV basis, with Archer up 8% versus peers’ 24%, resulting in an improved relative valuation. The stock is trading at a 2023e EV/EBITDA of 4.7x versus peers at 7x. We reiterate our BUY and NOK1.5 target price.
