Energy Co. Gains Raised Target Price After Announcement

Source: Kirk Wilson 01/27/2025

NG Energy International Corp. (GASX:TSX.V; GASXF:OTC; 56P:FRA) received a raised target price from Beacon Securities after it announced a US$150 million sale of a 40% working interest in its Sinu-9 Block to Maurel & Prom (M&P).

In a January 21, 2025 research note, Beacon Securities analyst Kirk Wilson maintained a Buy rating on NG Energy International Corp. (GASX:TSX.V; GASXF:OTC; 56P:FRA) while raising his target price to CA$2.00, following the announcement of a US$150 million sale of a 40% working interest in its Sinu-9 Block to Maurel & Prom (M&P).

The deal, expected to close in June/July 2025 with an effective date of February 1, 2025, allows the company to maintain a 32% working interest for future value. M&P joins Macquarie Group as a strategic partner, bringing technical expertise in developing greenfield natural gas fields.

The transaction metrics indicate M&P is paying CA$64,500 per boe/d and a 4.2x multiple of annualized operating income, based on Sinu-9 reaching 50 mmcf/d gross capacity in early Q2 2025. These metrics suggest M&P sees future upside potential.

With M&P taking over Sinu-9 operations, the company is expected to focus on its Maria Conchita Block, where infrastructure expansion should increase capacity to 25-30 mmcf/d gross. Additional capacity could be possible depending on results from the Aruchara-4 well, which is scheduled to spud later this quarter.

The analyst has revised forecasts, pushing Phase 2 infrastructure at Sinu-9 to early 2026 from Q4 2025. While growth is lower than previously modeled, production is expected to more than double this year with another near doubling in 2026. The US$150 million cash injection should provide a large surplus throughout the forecast period.

The revised CA$2.00 target price is derived from a 3.0x EV/DACF multiple of 2026 forecasts. The analyst notes that the transaction has lowered the company’s risk profile while maintaining considerable growth potential, with multiple options for the cash surplus including acquisitions, dividends, or share buybacks.
