Oil & Gas Dev. Company Limited - Supply Flush Likely off Valuations

  • OGDC’s valuations have remained relatively downward sticky likely due to supply flush from foreign selling of around 52mn shares (8.1% of free float) in Apr-18 and resultant dip in domestic appetite for the stock.
  • While current intl oil prices offer a significant upside for the stock, we remain skeptical on their sustainability and continue to anchor our valuations and EPS projections at USD60/bbl. Falling oil prices may result in rout in valuations of E&Ps where OGDC is expected to be more resilient due to relative undervaluation compared to other E&P stocks.
  • We roll forward our valuation to Jun-19 and revise our exchange rate forecast & risk free rate assumption (to 9% from 8.5%), which raises our PT by 3% to PKR198/share, offering 27/33% capital/total upside from last close.
