thanks Johny. So the biggest deal PFC won were between 200 mil to 500 mill. I also found this from share magazine
UPGRADES AND SHORT-COVERING
According to sell-side analyst estimates compiled by the company, before today’s news the consensus forecasts for 2023 revenue and earnings after tax were $2.7 billion and $26 million respectively.
Clearly these numbers and any forecasts for 2024 to 2026 will have to be revised sharply upwards after today’s announcement.
Contributing in part to the huge share price rally is the fact Petrofac is one of the most-shorted stocks in the UK market, with roughly 4.7% of its equity capital out on loan according to the shorttracker website.
Among the funds shorting the shares are Astaris Capital Management, GLG Partners, Kairos Investment Management, Pictet Asset management and Systematica Investments.
