BG Offers Unparalleled Growth for a Firm its Size

A rough quarter for BG is not enough to change our favourable stance, given its unique business model and growth potential

We have always viewed BG Group (BG.) (Premium: Equity Research) favourably, given its unique business model and growth potential. Despite a rough first quarter, we maintain our opinion, as the firm's long-term growth potential remains in place. Recent events have bolstered our confidence in BG's future. By securing long-term sales agreements, BG was able to sanction its Australia LNG project late last year, placing its development ahead of others in the region and increasing the likelihood of startup in 2014. Then earlier this year, BG upgraded its estimated resources for three of its offshore Brazil fields while raising its 2020 production forecast. As a result, BG offers unparalleled growth for a firm its size. In addition, tightening of the LNG spot market over the next few years should create an opportunity for BG to exploit higher prices with its robust global shipping and marketing operations.
