Any buy out would be based on a proper assessment of assets, reserves and licenses incorporating debt and cost of debt, and potential synergies, you'd be looking north of 150.
Production guidance can go up as well as down - the recent RNS by the chairwoman will have taken their safest appraisal, they would not risk another downward revision later. Some of the institutional selling will be linked to dropping the dividend, as Tullow no longer met the requirement as an income stock. I wonder if this partly explains the sheer brutality of the drop.
I feel I am very fortunate to be able to hold on as long as needed to see out a recovery. The sooner they get a quality CEO the better and despite the horrific SP movement Monday, Tullow will end up as a better company for the change in leadership.
