RE: Half Year Results - Presentation21 Aug 2020 11:43
Ppl are painting doom and gloom picture but this situation is only temporary. One year from now, situation will be much better. Not long before the vaccine comes and there are therapeutics coming soon to treat covid.
Going back to PMO, all the big IIs knew that there will be a placing when PMO announced about buying BP assets. Market applauded for getting BP assets at bargain prices. We haven't seen big IIs reducing since PMO announced about BP deal instead SP motored up to 54p despite everyone knows about the imminent equity raise!
There are too many lenders involved here including banks. They cannot lose their investment here so they will let PMO survive. Banks need to make money too. With 100Kbpd by next year, debt is easily manageable. Remember breakeven is only $37 oil for PMO. With not much investment by oil companies, demand will outstrip supply and oil will be back to atleast 60s. Even now in the current situation, we have seen big draws in EIA report remember?
We just need to wait and see at what price the equity raise would be. It may not be the yesterday's closing price of 27p as creditors might dictate this price. Like Kenny mentioned, the shares issued to them cannot be sold until 12 months.
In my opinion, PMO will survive and better days will come. Just don't bother looking at SP everyday. ATB.
