The effective tax rate is stated as circa 44%

Whimax, see we still have someone who's not willing to let the SP go quite yet.

Quick fire 'AT' sells to quash the rise ... :-(

Gap to close .... ~149p, added to which, RSI oversold.

"Add to that Mitch Fleggs in attendance.."

Running-up company expenses and handing out his CV too no doubt !

For £19 you could hop on a flight to Morocco from UK and see for yourself CHAR progress.

I'm sure there will already be eyes and ears on the ground that will manifest itself in the SP, shortly !

aimo & dyor

Maybe to simplistic!!….

Yes, indeed so !

So we have yet another iffy transaction from yesterday reported today :

14-Mar-24 16:19:06 7.50 1,100,000 Unknown* 7.55 7.68 82.50k O

14-Mar-24 16:19:06 7.50 -1,100,000 Unknown* 7.55 7.68 -82.50k O

Absolutely, what everyone outside of the industry fail to recognise is O&G extraction is not like any other industry. Massive upfront cost, high risk and dedicate years of commitment as such all is based upon the economic value over the life of the field. Removal or even reduction of allowance will bring forward CoP and hence substantially reduce tax received by HMG. As we all here know, O&G extraction can not be switched on / off at will, once CapEx is cut / removed, developments put on hold the economic value becomes questionable so you begin death cycle of the NS, investment will simply move overseas never to return. This transition has already begun imo.

All for what, a cross on a piece of paper !!

Think Simply Wall St have been sniffing something !!!

Would be nice to think they are on the ball rather than off their rocker, half that would do me !

aimo & dyor

That’s the real issue, not the amount of tax, albeit ridiculously high but the never ending uncertainty....

Aimo and dyor

You all know what to do

TIA

Martin, Good to see flights are on the up !

Upomega,

Benchmark was based on 20 year average apparently, guess those years were never indexed linked for inflation when they did the calculations either.

Absolute joke the floor criteria imo and the industry as you mentioned appears to be accepting things as they are with very little pushback .

Today’s SP closing price just goes to show how much of an inbred donkey of a market LSE actually is.

Aimo & dyor

Rellim,

HBR could easily make SQZ an offer and by utilising our corp tax losses alone would make good business sense given combined production HBR profit before and after tax could look totally different.

“Profit before tax reduced to $600 million, from $2.5 billion, and after-tax adjustments the company reported a $32 million profit..” for HBR

Should Labour not carry out their threat to close the “loophole” HBR could then package all NS assets circa ~200kboepd for a tidy sum and fully exit UK. But as you rightly stated, HBR may well have enough to be going on with atm.

aimo & door

Wishful thinking is always welcome… and sometimes out of the blue RNS’s do occur so who knows!!

Something has kicked off this sudden buying spree by board and Ned’s or could simply be once we hold / increase our dividend next month on results then reality will kick in on how undervalued we are. Atb

Aimo & dyor

And yet we STILL have our resident 100k seller… !! ffs

HBR announced today:

“ § Proposed final dividend of $100 million, in line with $200 million annual dividend policy and equating to 13 cents per share (2022: 12 cents), reflecting dividend per share growth for the full year 2023 of c.9%…”

The good thing about extending the EPL is it has no relevance for another 5 years, by which time the economic and political landscape will have changed for sure…. As Upomega has mentioned many times before, the NS players should do all they can to reverse the impact, be it lobbying at the very least to closing down investment and moving overseas and listing in US. Every other sector can produce mega profits off the back of world turmoil yet O&G for some reason appears an easy political target. Ps love your subject title Upomega ….

So we added another 10mmboe reserves over and above production. 140mmboe x $10 is $1.4bn, plus Net cash and the $billions$ in currently available tax losses and I’m sure Mercuria is more than happy with our current SP … we need someone like HBR to make an approach. Ridiculous SP atm although we do really need to retain our dividend, any cut would be yet another blow for investors and sentiment especially.

Aimo & dyor

Why not at least give highlights!!
