PGS (Sell, TP: NOK1.00) - Another step closer to the cliff

PGS announced preliminary Q3 segment revenues of USD132m, 14% below consensus and 12% below our estimate. The miss is driven primarily by weak late sales, which are expected at USD25m in Q3, 55% below our estimate and the weakest quarter since the emergence from Chapter 11 in 2003. As this reduces cash flow, it moves PGS another large step towards what we consider required restructuring, and we expect a negative share price reaction today.
