ONGC Q4 Results Review: ICICI Securities Maintains 'Buy', Sees 45% Potential Upside

ONGC's valuations of just 5x FY27E PER, 2.5x EV/Ebitda & 0.7x P/BV are attractive and underplay the 9% CAGR in consolidated EPS over FY26–28E, dividend yield of 5–6% and RoE/ROCE of 14–15% in FY27E.

ONGC recently signed BP Plc, UK as a technical services provider for its western offshore assets. BP has committed up to 60% incremental production over base levels of ~40mmscmd of gas and ~0.25mb/d of oil over the 10-year contract period. Achievement of even part of the stated target can meaningfully transform ONGC’s production profile over the next five–seven years.

ICICI Securities Report

Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Ltd.’s Q4 FY25 saw adjusted Ebitda/PAT (standalone) of Rs 181 billion/Rs 64.5 billion (9%/-35% YoY) with 7% revenue growth YoY.

However, this was offset by sharply higher exploration write-offs, denting net earnings. Consolidated Ebitda/PAT stood at Rs 263/Rs 73 billion (+10%/-35% YoY). FY25 Ebitda/PAT (standalone) of Rs 724/Rs 356 billion, rose 4.6%/fell 10% YoY.

Oil & gas output for Q4/FY25 slipped 1.8%/1.7% YoY to 10.3mt/41.1mt. Management guidance remains bullish for oil and gas output with ~15–18mmscmd gas production growth and ~20kb/d of oil production growth over FY26–28.

Realisations trends, however, are bearish; our revised estimate is USD 67–70/bbl for FY26–27, driving EPS downgrades of 18.1%/15.5% for FY26E/FY27E (FY28E of Rs 51.4/share introduced). Target price revised to Rs 350. Retain Buy.
