Growth-Oriented TGL

TOBY PIERCE, GMP Securities (03/22/2010)
"TransGlobe is currently producing 9,920 boe/d (Feb 2010) from its Egyptian (60%) and Yemeni (40%) assets and has guided that 2010 average production will be 10-10.5 mboe/d. This target could increase based on recent success with drilling at Arta and Hana. TransGlobe has drilled 17 new wells on Hana and Hana West, discovering 6 new pools in Egypt.

. . .We are maintaining our 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$5.26/sh. With an accelerated 2010 exploration program, we believe that TransGlobe is a growth-oriented international story with a share price that is undervalued relative to its exploration prospectivity. We see exploration activity continue to build and potential upside from the fracing program at Atra as key drivers of the story. Further, management is slowly transforming the firm into a more balanced exploration, production and development story with a bigger focus on Egypt, and should be one of several more attractive take-out candidates for mid-tier producers in the region looking for high quality acquisition candidates."
