Petroleum Geo-Services (Sell, TP: NOK17.00) - Peak earnings required

EBITDA was in line with our estimate, but 7% above consensus. Still, cash flow was well below consensus expectations. As the backlog lags that seen last year, we struggle with the current excitement for Petroleum Geo-Services as we believe peak earnings are needed to justify the current share price. We maintain SELL, but have raised our target price to NOK17 (13) on our higher library valuation.
