There wasn’t any ‘market moving’ news between last November and FID two weeks ago, yet the share price rose 6x. It’s because FID within 12 months became inevitable. I suspect the same will happen with first oil - there won’t be any ‘market moving’ news over the next couple of years. A rig will head down, the FPSO will get upgraded, development wells will get drilled etc. it’s no longer about ‘market moving’ news (unless for example another partner joins) but a process towards first oil. Yes there are technical and macroeconomic risks but in general I suspect the market will begin to price in first oil as that milestone gets closer. And yes, just like at FID, there will probably be some shareholders who sell on the news. But the important thing is where the share price goes between now & then.
