TGS Nopec (Hold, TP: NOK245.00) - Lack of triggers

TGS reported Q1 sales in line with pre-announced figures and EBIT below expectations on higher amortisation. We have raised 2018e sales by 4% and 9% for 2019e and 2020e. For 2018 our estimates are aligned with consensus. While we continue to find the share price overvalued on traditional metrics we believe that with a lack of triggers the share price will be range-bound around current levels. Hence, we have upgraded to HOLD, with a new target price of NOK245 (180).
