Equinor (Buy, TP: NOK370.00) - Q1e another ‘net cash build’ quarter

Q1e another ‘net cash build’ quarter We are in line with Bloomberg consensus ahead of the Q1 results (due around 07:00 CET on 4 May), estimating adj. EBIT of USD11.2bn and FCF of USD4.6bn. This implies that, despite gas prices being ~35% lower QOQ, Equinor should keep building its net cash position to USD18.3bn in Q1e, up from USD17.0bn at end-2022. We reiterate our BUY and NOK370 target price, emphasising the significant shareholder distribution potential that is likely to stretch well beyond 2023e.
