AKRBP: Soft Longer Term Oil Outlook Will Pressure Shares

Aker BP’s updated fair value estimate has been raised to NOK 178.50 from NOK 166.63 as analysts reset price targets toward the NOK 280 to NOK 330 range and factor in a sustained geopolitical risk premium for oil prices, along with views that the shares offer an undervalued way to add sector exposure.
