An update from Genel Energy ( (GB:GENL) ) is now available.
Genel Energy reported a disruption-hit first quarter as production from the Tawke licence in Kurdistan was temporarily halted from late February as a safety measure following U.S.-Israeli air strikes against Iran. Gross output averaged 52,800 barrels per day up to 31 March, down from 77,270 bopd in the previous quarter, with working interest volumes slipping to 13,200 bopd and realised prices easing to $31 a barrel.
Despite the suspension and lack of March proceeds, the production business still generated $2 million of free cash flow after interest, leaving group free cash flow at a modest $2 million outflow and net cash virtually unchanged at $131 million. Genel continues to press for settlement of $88 million in overdue receivables from the Kurdistan Regional Government, while absorbing a $26 million arbitration cost award, and is progressing exploration plans on Block 54 in Oman and the SL10B13 block in Somaliland as it seeks to diversify reserves, restart Tawke exports to international markets and secure more stable, repeatable cash generation.
The most recent analyst rating on (GB:GENL) stock is a Buy with a £90.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Genel Energy stock, see the GB:GENL Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on GENL Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GENL is a Neutral.
The score is held back mainly by weak/volatile profitability and bearish technical momentum (price below key moving averages with negative MACD). Offsetting these are a comparatively strong balance sheet and liquidity position plus management’s emphasis on financial resilience, though near-term operational and pricing/export uncertainty remains a major risk.
