GMP Securities Initiates Coverage of TGL

TOBY PIERCE, GMP Securities (03/09/2010)
"We are initiating coverage of TransGlobe with a BUY rating and C$6.40 price target. We like the company based on its high level of activity and feel that the stock is a buy given that its current share price is fully supported by its Core NAV of C$5.40/sh. TransGlobe is currently trading on 2.6x 2011 EV/DACF with self-funded growing operations and we believe offers a free option on its Egyptian and Yemenese upside.

TransGlobe Energy Corporation is an international exploration and production company, with operations in Yemen and Egypt and headquartered in Calgary. . .Reserves at year-end stood at 24.2 mmboe of 2P and production at the end of January exceeded the 10 mboe/d mark.

We feel that TransGlobe's share price is undervalued relative to its exploration prospectivity and investors are overlooking management's track record for delivering consistent production and cash flow. Further, management is slowly transforming the firm into a more balanced exploration, production and development story with a bigger focus on Egypt, and we believe will be one of several more attractive takeout candidates for mid-tier producers in the region looking for high-quality acquisition candidates."
