RE: HSE investigating as delayed Tolmount project. Harbour denies it.8 Nov 2021 08:05
Kign…does really explain. Tolmount will be 20-25 net to HBR on verbal production so maybe max 12% of overall daily production. However, given it will be unhedged production it will contribute a greater share to ebitda.
But…hbr current valuation not only gives zero value to the future tolmout production but gives zero value to a decent chunk of the ACTUAL production which is ACTUALLY happening right now, every day.
Assuming tolmout on line early next year I think we are trading at sub 3x ev ebitda which for a company like let generating over a billion of FCF next year is beyond nonsense. So why?
Long and short of it lies with article 8 and esg. It’s very very very difficult for article 8 designated to nveatment funds to buy oil companies. In fa t it’s pretty much impossible. You take away that bid from any companies shred and there is no way retail have deep enough pockets to take up the slack? So how come other oil companies it’s stocks have risen recently? Easy. Because the big comps like bp and shell and currently using exceeds cash to make huge buy backs in the mkt.
The cap markets day in September has to set out a plan for excess cash and this HAS to include buybacks. I am pretty sure it will. That will be your catalyst for the stock move.
