Bulls Say, Bears Say
Bulls Say
Revenue And Margin ImprovementSustained higher realized gas prices and 17% revenue growth strengthen cash generation and underpin reinvestment in drilling and operations. Over 2–6 months, better pricing and margins improve funding flexibility for projects and support durable contract negotiation leverage.
Operational Execution And Reserve ReplacementConsistently delivering wells on time and under budget reduces development risk, lowers unit development costs and accelerates production growth. Combined with near-full FY25 production replacement, this execution capability supports multi-year production sustainability and reserve monetization.
Improved Leverage And LiquidityLower leverage and a recent debt restructuring that extends amortisation enhance financial flexibility and reduce near-term refinancing risk. Stronger balance sheet metrics make funding further appraisal or development activity less dependent on volatile capital markets.
Bears Say
Declining Profitability MetricsA materially lower net margin halves prior profitability levels and diminishes retained earnings available for reinvestment. Persistently compressed margins will reduce ROE and limit capacity for capex or shareholder returns, increasing sensitivity to commodity price swings.
Weak Free Cash Flow ConversionA sharp drop in free cash flow and poor conversion of earnings into FCF constrains ability to self-fund exploration, capex, or sustainable dividends. Over the medium term this raises reliance on external financing and limits strategic optionality during downturns.
Exploration And Market UncertaintyJV complications and delayed sub-salt work defer potential material resource upside into mid-2027 or later. Coupled with stated long-term gas market uncertainty, this reduces near-term visibility on reserve growth and cash flow expansion from exploration successes.
