I have been thinking about the share price and company valuation over the pas few days and what has struck me, is not so much the cash pile that we are accumulating at a fast rate of knots, but the value of what is left if you strip this out.
We know from this weeks statement that we have over $50m in the coffers and that at current gas prices we must be bringing in about $10m a month. We are now half way through October so lets say we have $60m in the bank. This is equates to about £44m. At 51p we are valued at £90m but £44m of this is already in the bank so the business is actually only valued, from a trading point of view, at £46m!!!! For a business with quarterly cash generation of $15-£30m this is just plain ridiculous. Even at $15m a quarter, which would mean gas prices much less than they are now, we cover this £46m in cash generation in less than 12 months.
I will just leave that for people to ponder.
I now have a large holding here which I have accumulated over the last few weeks and this is probably the most optimistic I have been over a company in 20 years of investing!
Unless this is a Langbar, some of you may know what I mean by that reference, I can't see a downside.
