Over the moon, Jupiter, Mars and back !! Valuation is really tricky though. There is a hunger out there to buy North Sea assets and sometimes a bidding war. If say Rockrose were to buy HALO it would increase their reserves by about 30% and production by say 15%. Rockrose should be valued at say £480m. So using comparisons like this you get a decent market cap for HALO.
As we can see, there is a large disconnect between an accountants valuation and the markets valuation. The market valuation is well below an accountants valuation. That is why I think I would prefer a takeover of HALO, it would mean we get a higher price. It could also mean the re-list price is going to be higher than anticipated. There is hope at least !!…;o))
