PGS (Sell, TP: NOK3.50) - Contract momentum continues

The Q4 update included stronger than expected contract revenues, prompting us to raise our 2023e contract utilisation and vessel dayrate. However, MultiClient late-sales were broadly as expected (up only 14% YOY). We believe the investment case is intact – while the seismic contract market continues to improve, we expect MultiClient performance in 2023 to be muted YOY, and hence FCF generation to be insufficient to cover the 2023–2024e debt amortisation. We reiterate our SELL, but have raised our target price to NOK3.5 (3) on higher estimates.
