DNO (Buy, TP: NOK13.10) - Q3e: geopolitics and Peshkabir

We reiterate our BUY recommendation and NOK13.1 target price, but highlight the high short-term risk. The Q3 results are due at 08:00 CET on 9 November. We still find the medium-term risk/reward attractive, with our NAV-based target price at NOK13.1, our bear-case fair value (with conversion of PSCs to TSCs) at NOK6.7, and our bull-case fair value (with Peshkabir being successful) at NOK17.9. We see the key short-term risk as the KRG’s ability to pay oil companies with more than half of its oil export revenues removed and no resumption of budget transfers from Baghdad thus far.
