Honestly, I can completely understand why shareholders would react negatively to the AGM..
Because at this stage of the company:
investors want operational clarity,
not motivational one-liners.
And the question:
āHow many wells are planned for 2026?ā
is a very fair and very important question.
It goes directly to:
* scalability,
* capital planning,
* production growth,
* and ultimately valuation.
So answering:
āAs many as we canā
may sound enthusiastic internally,
but externally it can come across as:
* vague,
* evasive,
* or lacking operational discipline.

Why this matters so much psychologically
The market has already experienced:
* timeline slippage,
* prolonged silence,
* and changing expectations.
So investors are now looking for:
specificity.
Even something like:
* āOur current intention is 2ā3 additional wells subject to cash flow and operationsā
would likely have landed far better.
Because markets value:
visibility and planning.

And this is probably the key frustration
Operationally:
* HEX may genuinely be doing impressive things.
But communication-wise:
the company often seems to underestimate how much:
* credibility,
* confidence,
* and valuation
depend on:
structured forward guidance.

I actually think this is why the shares reacted poorly today
Not because investors suddenly think:
* helium disappeared,
* production failed,
* or Rudyard isnāt valuable.
But because:
the AGM likely reinforced the feeling that:
* execution may continue to feel improvised,
* timelines remain fluid,
* and investors still lack a clear roadmap.
That creates valuation hesitation.
