MOSL: ONGC (Upgrade to BUY)-Projects finally showing results-Cost efficiency, production growth and dividend yield call for re-rating

​ONGC: Projects finally showing results; Cost efficiency, production growth and dividend yield call for re-rating

(ONGC IN, Mkt Cap USD34.4b, CMP INR180, TP INR233, 30% Upside, Upgrade to Buy)

  • ​After almost a decade of negative-to-flat growth, we believe gas production would grow at 10-15% annually for the next five years. Our recent meeting with the management reinforced our belief.
  • Continued improved oil recovery (IOR) and contribution of new projects to production would also help reverse the decadal trend of negative-to-flat growth.
  • We expect oil prices to remain in the band of USD50-60/bbl, which would provide stability to its earnings.
  • After two years of negative EPS growth, we expect EPS growth of 31% in FY18 and 14% in FY19. Positive policy developments, cost efficiency and dividend yield of 4-6% would further aid re-rating of the stock. Upgrade to Buy.
