TGS Nopec (Buy, TP: NOK270.00) - Set for solid DPS increase in 2020e

TGS delivered a somewhat soft Q3 report with costs above expectations, resulting in EBITDA 5% below consensus. For Q4 our sales expectations are broadly in line with consensus, while we believe consensus is too optimistic on 2020 with expectations of 9% YOY revenue growth particularly in light of weaker E&P cash flow, flat offshore spending, and tough YOY comparables. However, our 2020e DPS at USD2 is the highest in consensus and with 2021e EV/EBIT of 7.4x, we maintain our BUY and NOK270 target price.
