Deal Insight
Equinor ups Johan Sverdrup stake as Lundin redeems 16% of its equity
Report summary
Equinor and Lundin Petroleum have announced an agreement where Equinor will divest 16% of its holding in Lundin Petroleum, in exchange for a 2.6% stake in Johan Sverdrup and a cash consideration of US$650 million. We calculate that each deal has been done at a hefty premium to our underlying base case valuation. However, quality assets attract a premium in Norway and the fact that both companies have validated higher valuations demonstrates their confidence in the underlying assets.
