ONGC: Lowering crude oil price estimates; Stock price correction provides an opportunity to buy
Despite almost full compliance by OPEC/non-OPEC countries in terms of production cuts, oil price declined recently, primarily due to normalization of production from Libya and Nigeria. However, as oil consumption continues to grow and production cuts remain, we would see oil at USD50-55/bbl. This is slightly below our earlier forecast of USD55-60/bbl due to the recent spurt in production.
ONGC has brought down its production cost from USD7.4/boe in FY16 to USD6.3/boe in FY17, which we believe is sustainable. Additionally, gas production growth of 10-15% annually and an increase in gas price realization are expected to boost EPS growth.
We reiterate Buy with a revised target price of INR195, based on 10x FY19E EPS.
