Trinity Exploration and Production - Reserves Reduction but Solid Core Business

Trinity has announced a c28% reduction to its 2P reserves following a YE23 review. Despite the decrease in the Company’s 2P reserves, Trinity’s core business remains robust, with a reserves/production ratio of >12.5 years at YE23. Whilst there is significant potential for growth within the current portfolio, this will be difficult to unlock from the current balance sheet and we believe further financing will be required. We update our target price to 76p (from 202p), a c85% premium to the curren

Zeus Top Picks for 2024 - 2023 review and outlook for 2024

On 9 January last year, we set out our ten top stock picks for 2023, for what turned out to be another relatively poor twelve months for UK equities due to two wars, stubbornly high inflation and further tightening of monetary policy. This was even as other major markets, such as the US, largely recovered in the year. In the 2023 calendar year, the AIM All-Share index fell 8.2% and is still 42% off its 2021 high. From the release of our 2023 top picks note, the average total return (assuming div

LIBERUM: New Energy Nuggets: Hydrogen - the future is green

The time has come!

In the next six months, Aminex (AEX) will embark on a development programme that will see the company become a producer and free cash flow (FCF) generator. Between drilling the new Chikumbi-1 well (CH-1), re-entering the existing two wells, processing of the new 3D seismic, signing a GSA, and reaching first gas, there will be plenty of milestones in 2023 to, in our view, gradually “guide” the market towards recognising a full value for the targeted initial 60mmscf/d gross production in late 2023

Is there a “big-picture” change in the cards?

We note that this morning’s announcement by Aminex for a significant potential resource increase in the Ruvuma basin. We believe that the recent pullback in the share price (likely due to delays in the first gas production schedule) provide a good risk/reward opportunity, especially given the future potential in next 12-24 months, highlighted by today’s announcement.
