    Most Popular Narrative: 19.1% Overvalued

    The widely followed narrative sets a fair value of €9.00 for Etablissements Maurel & Prom, compared with the last close at €10.72, and leans on a detailed growth and margin story to get there.

    Growing exposure to natural gas in Tanzania and Colombia, including positive drilling results and higher targeted production levels such as up to 130 million cubic feet per day in Tanzania and planned ramp up at Sinu 9, points to a larger share of relatively long duration gas revenue that can support more stable cash generation.
