The share seems in a tug of war between shorters and LTH. Up or down, this will make a big move at some point. Company has strong fundamentals, so shorters are betting on the government introducing more taxation on the O&G industry. This is purely a casino bet and has no strong logic. Even if government was to increase taxation, HBR are well positioned to ride the storm. I think deferring deleveraging was an excellent move and the most prudent in light of uncertainty. Once there's more clarity, company finances can then be more strategically allocated. Logic will prevail in the end so think whenever the time is ripe this will be £5+.
