WOOD Flash – Novatek: 4Q18E results – a busy year ahead (due on 20 February)

In the upcoming 4Q18E results (due out on 20 February), we will be looking for more evidence of Novatek’s transformation from a domestic gas producer to a more diversified oil & gas company with leading positions in the global LNG market. As Yamal LNG was still in a ramp-up phase last quarter, we believe it could be at least another quarter before we see the project boosting reported Novatek’s earnings; however, the company’s guidance on future distributions from the project and the progress of other key projects (particularly Arctic LNG 2) will be quite important, in our view. We see Novatek as the only company in the sector capable of delivering double-digit earnings growth, but trading at 10.2x P/E on our FY20E estimates (over 35% below its average historic multiple).
