TGS Nopec (Sell, TP: NOK155.00) - Low interest in key areas

We are 6% below consensus revenues and would be cautious into the update before market open on 10 April. With another disappointing US GoM lease sale and risk of delay for the 25th round in Norway, exploration interest in the key areas for TGS remains low. With consensus forecasting 10% sales growth in 2018, too-high growth expectations represent downside potential and we maintain our SELL recommendation and NOK155 target price.
