Petroleum Geo-Services (Sell, TP: NOK17.00) - Softer Q2e utilisation

With several long repositioning and idle periods awaiting pre-funding, we expect somewhat soft utilisation for Q2. However, due to more deferred costs, we are in line with consensus on reported earnings for Q2e as more deferred costs are likely to artificially inflate EBITDA. In our view, market hopes of dayrate momentum shifting in favour of the vessel owners are overdone, with our 2019 revenue forecast 16% below consensus, and we maintain SELL with a and NOK17 target price.
