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.

Valuations
Our estimates of gross under-recoveries stand at ~| 1,37,496 crore and
~| 1,26,028 crore in FY14E and FY15E, respectively. 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 that the stock price is hardly factoring in
any gas price hike. The stock is currently trading at 6.6 x FY15E EPS. We
recommend BUY rating on the stock with a target price of | 306 (average
of 8x FY15E EPS and 1.4x FY15E BVPS).
