"Broker sees big upside potential"2 Jan 2019 10:37
βGiven the very significant unrisked potential and excellent strategic fit offered by Matanda, we congratulate VOG on its successful receipt of presidential approval for the acquisition, with news of this coming hot on the heels of renewal of the Eneo supply contract in December,β said Shore Capital analyst Craig Howie.
βVOG highlights the fact that Matanda, which is primarily onshore and on the western side of Douala, provides an opportunity to develop an independent gas field to feed growing markets in the Bonaberi areas and beyond, with offshore areas providing additional long-term potential.β
The analyst added that he looks forward to βfully reflecting recent positive developmentsβ into Shore Capitalβs models, and, in the meantime noted that the brokerβs most recent valuation was pitched at 70p (net asset value) which compares to a current share price of 23.48p.
VOG shares started higher, rising 1.86p to change hands at 23.3p each.
