    Synopsis

Company has R Gopal & Associates as its auditors. As on 31-03-2023, the company has a total of 1,258 Crore shares outstanding.

    Investment Rationale
    OVL’s production has recovered gradually; further, PAT was higher on reversal of impairment charge. Hence, final dividend was limited at only INR 0.5/share, taking the total FY23 dividend to only INR 11.25/share or 40% payout (vs. FY22 dividend of INR10.5/share or 33% payout).

    The brokerage has cut its FY24 PAT estimate by 5% and FY25 PAT estimate by 15% to factor in higher continued provision for SC/GST on royalty, higher drywell write-off, and weak FY23 results. Hence, it has further slashed its TP to INR 200/share (from INR220/share).

    Nonetheless, the buy has been maintained as the stock is a strong dividend play (of 6-8%) and as CMP
    is discounting only ~USD 55-60/bbl of net crude realisation.
