PGS (Hold, TP: NOK3.50) - Opportunity to address liquidity

With the current market sentiment, we see a possibility that PGS might be able to address its near-term liquidity need without a heavily discounted equity raise. We still see long-term challenges with a business model that has failed to generate cash over the cycle and debt levels the asset base could struggle to service. After its 80% decline YTD, however, we have upgraded the stock to HOLD (SELL) as we see our long-term case as largely played out, and raised our target price to NOK3.5 (3.0).
