EME Equity Market – March 2025 Türkiye hammered, once again. The MSCI EM Europe Index advanced 0.5% in EUR terms and 4.5% mom in USD terms in March. The Czech PX Index was the best performer (+7.0% mom in EUR terms), followed by the Greek ASE (+4.8% mom), Polish WIG (+3.7% mom) and Hungarian BUX(+1.3% mom) indices (all in EUR terms). There was a muted performance from the Romanian BET Index (-0.1% mom in EUR terms). The Turkish ISE30 finished in the red again, declining 9.5% mom in EUR terms.
Supported by strong Q1e production of 450kboed, our EBITDA forecast is 12% above consensus (the Q1 trading update is due at 07:00 CET on 7 April). Consequently, following a stronger-than-expected start to the year, we have raised our full-year production estimate. We forecast 2025 production of 424kboed, exceeding the guidance (390–420kboed) and consensus (412kboed). The key production drivers are broadly flat YOY for Johan Sverdrup production, Edvard Grieg stabilising, and positive YOY for Tyrv...
This week, we published a note on the harsh reality of USD70/bbl for our coverage. While investors appear to be positioning for lower oil prices, we believe consensus FCF estimates for NCS large caps remain overly aggressive. Meanwhile, DNO announced a discovery at the Kjøttkake prospect, north-west of Troll, adding ~NOK0.8/share (~4%) to DNO’s NAV and ~NOK1/share to Aker BP’s (
Investors are positioning for lower oil prices, and the perception seems to be that cash flows are set to remain healthy and valuations attractive. We are concerned that overly aggressive consensus FCF facilitates this, as our USD70/bbl calculations imply a normalised FCF yield of only 6–8% for our coverage. With the European majors trading at a 2025–2027e FCF yield of c12%, we struggle to find an attractive risk/reward in large-cap NCS stocks, as the implied returns are negative c10–25% at peer...
This week, NCS February production was broadly in line with the NOD’s expectations, with total output flat MOM but down 2.4% YOY. Aker BP showed solid January production, while Equinor, Vår Energi, OKEA and DNO showed declines MOM. Halten East is now on stream, but its slow ramp-up limits Vår Energi’s 2025 uplift to ~5kboed, reinforcing the downside risk to its 330–360kboed guidance. Also, DNO successfully placed a new USD600m bond (8.5% coupon) to refinance DNO04 and for general corporate purpo...
The Norwegian Offshore Directorate’s (NOD) preliminary NCS figures for February showed liquids production of 1,938kboed (in line with its forecast) and gas production of 355mcm/d (3.8% above its estimate). Overall production was 4.17mmboed, flat MOM (1.8% above its forecast), but down 2.4% YOY. Company-wise, Aker BP reported solid production in January, while Equinor, Vår Energi, OKEA and DNO all reported production down MOM.

This week, BlueNord cut its Q1 production guidance by ~25% due to a breaker failure at Tyra, implying a 5% hit to 2025 guidance and likely delaying the first dividend from March to May. Following DNO’s Sval Energi acquisition, we upgraded OKEA to BUY (HOLD) and raised our target price to NOK23 (20). We believe historical NCS transaction multiples provide valuation support for OKEA. Meanwhile, the sector is down 10–20% since Brent peaked at USD82/bbl in mid-January, with scarce oil macro support ...
Our coverage universe has traded ~10–20% lower since Brent oil price peaked at USD82/bbl in mid-January. Positive oil macro data remains scarce, while gas prices face potential downside risk if Russian pipeline flows partially resume. Implied valuations for Aker BP and Vår Energi broadly align with current oil prices, suggesting limited near-term upside potential to current share prices unless oil prices rise from today’s USD70/bbl level.
We have revised our target price for OMV, after the successful merger with ADNOC regarding the combination of Borealis and Borouge. The agreed terms are highly favourable for OMV. Accordingly, we raise our 2025 year-end ex-dividend target price from EUR 42.6 to EUR 50.0, implying an upside potential of 25.0%. The merger will result in the deconsolidation of Borealis from OMV's financial statements, with its stake in the newly formed entity will be reported as an equity-accounted investment. At ...
