Deal To Sell SapuraOMV Expected, But Not Sufficient For Rerating The long-awaited sale of SapuraOMV has materialised. The deal proceeds (cash of US$530m) of its crown jewel assets are aligned with our scenario and valuation assumption. As markets expected this sale, we do not think this is sufficient to pull SAPE out of the woods, as monitoring the group’s ex-SapuraOMV EBITDA generation is more important and still contains major downside risk. Hence, we advise a wait-andsee approach. Retain SELL...
