Ahead of Q4 revenue updates

TGS and PGS are set to release their Q4 revenue updates next week. Traditionally the seasonally strongest quarter of the year, we believe investor focus will be on MultiClient late sales levels and corresponding ‘budget flush’ effect. We highlight that our Q4 late sales estimates are meaningfully below consensus as we believe this effect will be muted. Our below-consensus view also stretches into 2023e, where our late sales estimates are 15% and 21% below consensus for TGS and PGS, respectively. As such, we believe E&P companies’ appetite for seismic data and corresponding sales levels for Q4 will be an important indicator for the trajectory of estimates in 2023 and onwards.
