Equinor (Buy, TP: NOK430.00) - Not great, not terrible
We were slightly surprised that Equinor initially outperformed the market after its Q3 report, as we view the underlying metrics to be on the softer side, albeit broadly in line with our expectations and consensus. On a positive note, the raised extraordinary dividend, taking the annualised total yield to ~15%, cements Equinor’s position as one of the strongest-yielding European majors. Even so, we see a risk of negative FCF in Q4e, due to lower gas prices. We reiterate our BUY and NOK430 target price.Equinor is engaged in oil and gas exploration and production activities. Co. is primarily focused on exploration, development and production of oil and gas on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). Co.'s operations are organized into four segments.
