§1 Podsumowanie wykonawcze

  • Fair value of $152.45 relies on a composite of normalized FCFF DCF ($111.85) and Owner Earnings ($193.04).
  • Current valuation relies heavily on peak spot commodity prices rather than normalized 35% mid-cycle margins.
  • A 12x terminal multiple appropriately caps mature growth expectations for this highly cyclical E&P.
