At a share price of €8.47, Etablissements Maurel & Prom has seen strong positive momentum this year, with a year to date share price return of 49.25% and a 1 year total shareholder return of 80.77%.

After the sharp multi year run and recent pullback, Etablissements Maurel & Prom now sits between fresh production, Venezuela export and refinancing news on one side, and the question on every investor’s mind on the other: buy after this surge or wait for a cleaner entry based on valuation?
Most Popular Narrative: 12% Undervalued
Based on the most followed narrative, Etablissements Maurel & Prom has a fair value estimate of €9.63 against a last close of €8.47, leaving a valuation gap that hinges on how investors view its growth mix and country exposure.
The increasing weight of Venezuela in 2P reserves and production plans, combined with reliance on OFAC licensing and local tax renegotiations, concentrates risk in a country with regulatory and governance uncertainties, which can introduce volatility in cash flows and earnings visibility.
Want to understand why this narrative still sees upside? The entire framework rests on a specific path for revenue growth, margin compression and future earnings multiples. Curious which assumptions about future profitability and valuation really drive that €9.63 figure?
Result: Fair Value of €9.63 (UNDERVALUED)
