WHAT S CHANGED PRICE TARGET........................................................................changed from | 349 to | 306 EPS (FY14E)..........................................................................changed from | 34.3 to | 28.6 EPS (FY15E)..........................................................................changed from | 48.5 to | 40.8 RATING...............................................................................................................Unchanged Negatives factored in ONGC declared its Q2FY14 results with revenues at | 22414.7 crore (our estimate: | 22489.5 crore) and PAT at | 6063.9 crore (our estimate: | 5587.5 crore). The topline is in line with our estimates, with total production at 6.5 MMT (our estimate: 6.6 MMT) and net realisations of $44.8/bbl (our estimate $47.1/ bbl). Net realisations are lower than estimates as subsidy burden is | 13,796 crore against our estimate of | 12,330 crore. The bottomline is above our estimates due to higher other income & lower depreciation. We have reduced our earnings estimate as we have increased our subsidy share burden for ONGC. We recommend a BUY rating on the stock, with a target price of | 306. Domestic production from marginal fields to begin ONGC has maintained its crude oil production guidance at 27.2 MMT for FY14, implying a higher production in H2FY14 against that in H1FY14. The production pick-up is expected from marginal fields like B-193 and Cluster 7 in Q4FY14, where substantial development work has already been done. Current production from D1 field is 20,000 bopd. In KG DWN 98/2, since columns of oil have been discovered, the company will submit revised DOC in December 2013, with reserve accretion likely to happen in FY15E. We expect the standalone production (domestic + JV) of oil & gas to be ~ 26.5 MMT & ~ 24.9 BCM, respectively in FY14E. Overseas assets-reserve accretion & volume ramp-up Production from HEG field, Azerbaijan is estimated at 0.9 MMT in FY14E. Production from South Sudan has started with production estimated at 0.28 MMT in FY14E. The ramp-up to pre-partition levels in South Sudan is expected to happen in FY15E. Production in the A3 block in Myanmar has also started in July 2013, where gas production is estimated at 0.09 BCM in FY14E, with a subsequent ramp-up to 0.5 BCM in FY15E. Reserves from the Mozambique block will get added to reserves in FY15E, once the acquisition is complete in FY14E while reserves from BC-10 block will get accounted for in FY14E itself. The current price offers a favourable risk- reward ratio as it is already factoring in high subsidy burden. If no gas price hike takes place, then our target price would be | 250, which shows the stock price is hardly factoring in any gas price hike. We recommend BUY rating on the stock, with a target price of | 306.
