First Berlin Equity Research has published a research update on Deutsche Rohstoff AG (ISIN: DE000A0XYG76). Analyst Simon Scholes downgraded the stock to ADD and decreased the price target from EUR 54.00 to EUR 51.00.

Abstract:
DRAG's final 2023 numbers were very close to the preliminary figures published in February. Revenue climbed 18.9% to €196.7m (2022: €165.4m) while EBITDA was 13.8% higher at €158.3m (2022: €139.1m). Revenue growth was driven by volume growth of 33% to 12,762 boepd (2022: 9,594 boepd) as the prices realised by DRAG for oil and gas after hedges fell by 3.5% and 33% respectively. Given the price differential between oil and gas (one barrel of oil equivalent of gas is worth only 20% of a boe of oil) and that gas volume was only half of oil volume, last year's oil and gas price declines had a roughly equal impact on sales. DRAG invested a record €180m in new wells last year. On a 100% working interest basis, 13.6 new wells started production, all of them in Wyoming. When it began operations in Wyoming in 2021/22, DRAG budgeted for an average reserve of 500,000 barrels of oil per well in the key Niobrara formation. In the 2023 annual report DRAG revealed that after the first 6 to 18 months of production, its Wyoming wells are producing at a rate ca. 15% above that expected for 500,000 barrel wells. We believe higher than budgeted production from new and existing wells was the main reason for the three upwards revisions to 2023 guidance made by DRAG last year. DRAG has so far developed only around 15% of its Wyoming acreage. The robust production figures delivered so far by DRAG in the state bode very well for coming years. However, the average levels of the oil futures strips for 2024 and 2025 are currently 6% and 5% below where they were at the time of our most recent note of 16 April. We now see fair value for the DRAG share at €51.0 (previously: €54.0). As the upside to our price target is below 25% we downgrade the recommendation from Buy to Add.

First Berlin Equity Research hat ein Research Update zu Deutsche Rohstoff AG (ISIN: DE000A0XYG76) veröffentlicht. Analyst Simon Scholes stuft die Aktie auf ADD herab und senkt das Kursziel von EUR 54,00 auf EUR 51,00.

Zusammenfassung:
Die endgültigen Zahlen der DRAG für 2023 lagen sehr nahe an den im Februar veröffentlichten vorläufigen Zahlen. Der Umsatz kletterte um 18,9 % auf €196,7 Mio. (2022: €165,4 Mio.), während das EBITDA um 13,8 % auf €158,3 Mio. (2022: €139,1 Mio.) stieg. Das Umsatzwachstum wurde durch ein Mengenwachstum von 33% auf 12.762 boepd (2022: 9.594 boepd) getrieben, da die von der DRAG erzielten Preise für Öl und Gas nach Absicherung um 3,5% bzw. 33% gesunken sind. Angesichts des Preisgefälles zwischen Öl und Gas (ein Barrel Öläquivalent Gas ist nur 20 % eines Boe Öl wert) und der Tatsache, dass das Gasvolumen nur die Hälfte des Ölvolumens betrug, wirkten sich die Preisrückgänge bei Öl und Gas im vergangenen Jahr in etwa gleich stark auf den Umsatz aus. Die DRAG investierte im vergangenen Jahr eine Rekordsumme von €180 Mio. in neue Bohrungen. Auf der Basis einer 100-prozentigen Beteiligung nahmen 13,6 neue Bohrungen die Produktion auf, alle in Wyoming. Bei der Betriebsaufnahme in Wyoming im Jahr 2021/22 rechnete die DRAG mit einer durchschnittlichen Reserve von 500.000 Barrel Öl pro Bohrung in der wichtigen Niobrara-Formation. Im Jahresbericht 2023 teilte die DRAG mit, dass ihre Bohrungen in Wyoming nach den ersten 6 bis 18 Monaten der Produktion eine Förderrate aufweisen, die ca. 15 % über den Erwartungen für 500.000-Barrel-Bohrungen liegt. Wir glauben, dass die über den Planungen liegende Produktion aus neuen und bestehenden Bohrungen der Hauptgrund für die dreimal nach oben korrigierte Guidance der DRAG für 2023 war. Die DRAG hat bisher nur etwa 15 % ihrer Anbauflächen in Wyoming erschlossen. Die robusten Produktionszahlen, die die DRAG in diesem Bundesstaat bisher geliefert hat, lassen für die kommenden Jahre viel Gutes erwarten. Allerdings liegen die Durchschnittswerte der Öl-Futures-Strips für 2024 und 2025 derzeit 6 % bzw. 5 % unter den Werten zum Zeitpunkt unserer letzten Studie vom 16. April. Wir sehen den fairen Wert der DRAG-Aktie nun bei €51,0 (vorher:€54,0). Da das Aufwärtspotential zu unserem Kursziel weniger als 25% beträgt, stufen wir die Empfehlung von Kaufen auf Hinzufügen zurück.
