1100 GMT [Dow Jones] GdF's (1020848.FR) reported request for 6.1% price rise in gas prices from January. 1, would not change Landsbanki Kepler's '08 EBITDA forecast for GdF. Says, however, that GdF should recover its EUR1B losses accumulated since '04 thanks to '08 public service contract currently under negotiation with government. Notes that the contract should increase visibility following looming merger with Suez (SZE.FR) and government drives for increased competition. Kepler keeps buy rating and EUR46 price target. GdF declined to comment. Shares trade +0.6% at EUR38.98. (WHO)
