DNO (Buy, TP: NOK18.00) - Exploration and M&A waiting game

We have cut our 2019–2021e EBITDA by 10–22% after lowering our oil price estimates, reducing our NAV to NOK22.9/share (23.9). However, the shares are still trading at an attractive P/NAV of 0.5x. News flow has been disappointingly scant YTD, but we see this changing given expectations of Baeshiqa exploration results by year-end and its M&A ambitions. We maintain our BUY on a strong FCF and 2019e P/E of 4.6x, but have cut our target price to NOK18 (21.5).
