Petroleum Geo-Services (Hold, TP: NOK19.00) - Pricing in an earnings recovery

We forecast Q1 revenues of USD178m, in line with consensus. We estimate utilisation in Q1 (due first week of April) at 81%, on high multi-client allocation. Our base-case scenario is that the company will be able to refinance in the debt market; however, at a P/NAV of 1.1x we believe this is reflected in the current share price. While the market is showing improvement, the share price implies a strong earnings recovery; we maintain our HOLD recommendation but have raised our target price to NOK19 (17).
