BROKER	DATE	RATING	RECOMMENDATION
Morgans	20/04/2021	3	Hold
TARGET PRICE $0.30 % TO REACH TARGET 15.38% COMMENTARY Morgans hopes a good third quarter result (solid production, sales and revenue) signals future strong cash flow generation for the beginning of the fourth quarter, when seasonal gas demand strengthens. The Hold rating and target of $0.30 are maintained. While the broker sees plenty of value on offer, short-term risks around ramping up production at Sole weigh. In addition, negotiations continue with banks to restructure a debt facility to reflect the longer ramp up. FORECAST Morgans forecasts a full yearFY21dividend of0.00cents and EPS ofminus -0.50cents. Morgans forecasts a full yearFY22dividend of0.00cents and EPS of1.20cents.
Macquarie	20/04/2021	3	Neutral
TARGET PRICE $0.32 % TO REACH TARGET 23.08% COMMENTARY March quarter production and revenue were in line with expectations. Macquarie notes there is growth in gas from the Otway and Gippsland Basins but the company may need more capital to fund its ambitions. Moreover, without a solution to lifting Orbost gas plant utilisation the risk profile remains high and the broker envisages better risk/reward in Senex Energy ((SXY)) and Karoon Energy ((KAR)). Neutral rating and $0.32 target retained. FORECAST Macquarie forecasts a full yearFY21dividend of0.00cents and EPS ofminus -1.80cents. Macquarie forecasts a full yearFY22dividend of0.00cents and EPS of0.90cents.
Morgan Stanley	20/04/2021	3	Equal-weight
TARGET PRICE $0.38 % TO REACH TARGET 46.15% COMMENTARY Cooper Energy released third-quarter production results. While performance at the Sole project was in line with the company's guidance, it was below earlier forecasts, points out Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley notes a lingering uncertainty as to whether Cooper will realise 68 TJ/day at the Sole project over the medium term. Equal-weight retained. Target is 38c. Industry view: Attractive. FORECAST Morgan Stanley forecasts a full yearFY21dividend of0.00cents and EPS ofminus -2.00cents. Morgan Stanley forecasts a full yearFY22dividend of0.00cents and EPS ofminus -1.00cents.
Ord Minnett	20/04/2021	1	Buy
TARGET PRICE $0.46 % TO REACH TARGET 76.92% COMMENTARY Remediation work at the Sole/Orbost project has meant significantly better plant output. Additionally, Ord Minnett suspects the ruling on Origin Energy's ((ORG)) and Beach Energy's ((BPT)) gas contract has positive implications for Cooper Energy, given the increasing amount of uncontracted gas. The broker believes Cooper Energy is is the cheapest exploration & production company under coverage and retains a Buy rating. Target rises to $0.46 from $0.45. FORECAST Ord Minnett forecasts a full yearFY21dividend of0.00cents and EPS ofminus -1.00cents. Ord Minnett forecasts a full yearFY22dividend of0.00cents and EPS of2.00cents.

It's hard to justify the sp given the recent cash burn for project development and its negotiation power with banks to increase its debt facility.

Oil& condensate sale was only account for 10% compared to gas sale and why the company hedged the OC price on the back of rising poo?

Gas sale contract was lowered every quater amid Victoria is entering winter season where solar energy could spur the price of gas.
