Etablissements Maurel & Prom closed at €8.06, while the most followed narrative sets fair value at €10.50 using a 6.59% discount rate. That gap reflects a view that today’s share price does not fully reflect future cash flows under the current operating and expansion plan.
The plan to use a strengthened balance sheet, US$460 million cash, net cash of about US$179 million and potential US$200 million of new bank funding to pursue acquisitions across Africa and South America increases the chance of overpaying or buying assets with weaker returns. This could dilute return on equity and earnings per share.
