DNO (Hold, TP: NOK6.00) - Underlying neutral Q2 report

DNO reported Q2 EBITDA of USD13m, above our USD7m (helped by lower exploration expenses), but below consensus of USD20m. However, we believe the lion’s share of the miss was due to underlift in the North Sea, which is more of a timing effect. DNO has resumed drilling activity in Kurdistan, suggesting upside to 2020 production levels, but with higher costs and this being low-margin barrels, we see a minor EPS impact.
