PGS (Sell, TP: NOK4.00) - Winter is always coming

Our investment case on PGS is unchanged following the Q3 results, with an equity issue of up to USD200m still probably required to deal with debt amortisations in H2 2023. Refinancing of its Term Loan B, which is trading at an implied yield of ~20%, seems inconceivable to us. With costs edging higher and soft order book trend, we would be hesitant to extrapolate the recent solid free cash flow into 2023e. We believe this cash flow has been mostly supported by abnormally high transfer fees and that underlying late sales have remained muted. We reiterate our SELL and NOK4 target price.
