Romgaz: keeper for the longer term (stays BUY)

After the peak seen in summer 2022, driven by the gas price rally, the Romgaz share price has been dragged down by news of the solidarity tax, and the accelerated decline in European gas prices. We see Neptun Deep as a game changer for the company, with the FCF yield during the plateau years at close to 30%, which could push the dividend yield towards 20% by 2028E. Until first gas from Neptun, which is expected in 2027E, investors should get a minimum 50% payout from the net result, with an average yield over 2023-27E of 8%. We keep our BUY rating on the stock and continue to use a dividend discount model (DDM) to set our target price. We have reduced our European gas price estimates and accounted for the solidarity tax, which has lowered our figures considerably vs. our previous update. This has led us to cut our 12M price target (PT) to RON 47.6 (from RON 65.6).
