OKEA (Buy, TP: NOK42.00) - Solid start to the year

A recovery from a significant underlift position at end-2022 resulted in strong sales volumes for OKEA in Q1, triggering our positive estimate changes, particularly for 2023. We expect produced and sold volumes to move more in tandem, leaving less room for such surprises. Nevertheless, we continue to find the OKEA investment case attractive with strong FCF in 2023–2024e supported by organic and inorganic production growth on top of significant opportunities in its contingent resource base. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to NOK42 (41) on higher estimates.
