ONGC: Stable oil prices; Gas production to get a fillip; Attractive valuation with no threat of subsidy burden

(ONGC IN, Mkt Cap USD29.1b, CMP INR163, TP INR196, 21% Upside, Buy)

 

  • Despite threats of production pressure from Venezuela and Iran, global economic slowdown and rising production from the US and OPEC+, oil price outlook appears stable.
  • Stable oil prices and INR depreciation does not pose any subsidy burden threat to upstream companies.
  • Trading at 40% discount to 10-year P/E, we reiterate Buy with target of INR196.

Stable oil prices

  • Except for the slight spurt to ~USD75/bbl, Brent has weakened to ~USD70/bbl in the past few days, amid rising US production and weakening global economic growth.
  • Due to decreasing oil supply in global markets on Iranian sanctions and issues in Nigeria and Venezuela, the supply gap is being fulfilled by increased production in the US and Saudi Arabia.
  • Despite OPEC production cuts; call on OPEC crude is expected to be at 30.1mnbopd, ~3% lower than current production and ~6% lower than CY17/18 production.
