TGS Nopec (Sell, TP: NOK155.00) - A unique selling opportunity

Compared to current consensus expectations of 14% revenue growth in 2018, we consider the earnings risk over the next few quarters to be skewed to the downside. In our view, the downside protection from TGS’s operational flexibility has inflated investor sentiment. With a stretched valuation and potential negative triggers on earnings risk, we have downgraded our recommendation to SELL (HOLD); our target price has been raised to NOK155 (145) on FX.
