Karoon Energy's New Bear Surprised by Neon Rethink -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
Jan 28

2304 GMT - Karoon Energy's decision to rethink how it could develop its Neon oil field offshore Brazil catches Macquarie off guard. Karoon has been running a process to sell a 30%-40% stake in Neon with a view to using a floating production, storage, and offloading vessel at the site. "We were surprised to see commentary it is considering alternate development concepts (the FPSO market will have got more challenging, and Karoon now acknowledges the lower oil price outlook)," says Macquarie. It now attributes only A$0.04/share of value to Neon, down from A$0.19. Macquarie downgrades Karoon's stock to underperform form neutral and lowers its price target by 9% to A$1.50/share. Karoon ended Tuesday at A$1.635. (david.winning@wsj.com; @dwinningWSJ)
