Mr scruff : " looking at SQZ through the lens of 188p and a dividend yield of over 12%."---------I agree but I think someone is being presumptuous with the dividend. Rumour in the Deen is the dividend gets reset. Hope I'm wrong but there's balance sheet questions to be answered!

Thing is Stemis you will see dividend growth (Mercuria will make damn sure of that) but Oilinvestor knows that Mercuria will have all the cream. KIST was the company for SQZ although I hold neither cause Government will have too much of any profit, cream or no cream. Watch how Mercuria sell more assets to SQZ with cash ripped out of them like Tailwind. Can't see existing management shaking Mercuria. If Mercuria sell SQZ you should too cause that will be top dollar but that will not be for a few years.

I liken SQZ to a beast with a lion chewing it but being very careful not to kill it. One day the lion will stich up the beast , give it a kick and it will look normal. The lion will sell the beast after applying makeup. Tell me what happens the beast after that. (one kidney, a heart, a small brain, half a stomach and cosmetic fat).

Flegg felt Mercuria were going to bring some good deals but Mercuria will keep all the good ones for themselves cause they are ferociously greedy and will bung off skeletons to SQZ.

It was 26k of gas plus liquids production for SQZ!!!

Moreover, prior to increased windfall tax in Nov 2022 cash post 2022 tax was equal to 205p of SQZ share price - if I recall SQZ cash was this high even after a significant Windfall Tax payment that was made in Oct 2022.

Also SQZ share holders paid 2022 dividends for the shares issued to Mercuria in Early 2023!!! Should be included in the deal cost along with Decom costs!!! Close to USD 1Bn in toto for paltry 15-19k high tax decrepit FPSO production that was hedged for peanuts!!! A scam!!!

2023 dividend to Mercuria shares was in addition to deal costs and not earned from any of their assets - as it accrued from SQZ assets!!!

Let me reiterate the onerous Tailwind 2023/2024 Capex and Decom costs and tragically that the majority of 2023 Tailwind production was hedged at mid 50s Brent...

You should shudder at the Tailwind Deal - not at the low Opex SQZ gas which would still have been hugely profitable and manageable final WFT taxes given the expensive $100mn duster in end 2022

A large chunk of the cash has gone in tax (139m) and divis (89m). I shudder to think what the share price would be today with just c23k boepd of gas at £36 boepd before deducting op ex.

SQZ looks like a good investment today -
SQZ and crude are both oversold,
Leadership overhaul - high calibre CFO bought in and soon a high calibre CEO to replace leader who is not a tier 1 operator,
Opec will backstop,
American oil will throttle down at sub $70 WTI,
SQZ EV/Barrel and EV/2P even for high tax UK are compelling - given negligible decommissioning costs,
Labour has stated that they will not kill the industry - have promised to hold corporate rates at current levels,
I am 90% confident the tax backdating bluster etc is just to motivate their green base - when in the drivers seat the economy and tax receipts will matter more.

haha I have gotten under the skin of the PR low class loser who worships at the altar of Mitch Flegg...

Have better things to do than validate my assertions.. I recall you mentioning you are a PR and I stand by it..

Do you still stand by your paeans of SQZ leadership / performance under Mitch Flegg!!! Anyone who invested heeding your laurels of the able SQZ leadership/management should sue you!!!

Sadly I own both SQZ and JSE - but I am far more upset with SQZ management as they literally set fire to their cash rather than mishandle/mismanage a problem!!!

Also please note that JSE exceeded top end of revised guidance whereas SQZ just about met the bottom end of the revised guidance!!!

My near term targets for SQZ are an upside back to September highs of circa 270p should oil prices be supportive and for JSE my upside target is 50p should they have no further operational issues and oil prices be supportive!!!

BH go back and review Stemis history on SQZ chat if he has not modified - Stemis conveys he worked in PR!!!

I really haven't. But you'll be able to post a link to that will you? I've been a full time investor for the last 10 years and previously a chartered accountant and then one time FD of a plc. Some on here will remember me from Motley Fool (which is actually where I first 'met' nigelpm).

Stemis has updated he is a paid PR lackey....

Probably libelous. But go on then, when did I do that? Alternatively why don't you stick to trying to ramp your way of the mess you got yourself into with the dog that is JSE?

So substantiate your accusations, you clown, (which you can't) or withdraw them...

SQZ is now dirt cheap given muppet empire building lifestyle CEO has been booted out / one of the key negatives of the stock...

The interim CEO has top notch experience/pedigree and is stepping in to right the rocky boat... He has already effectively taken over the CEO chair!!!

Hopefully it is onwards and upwards from this low point / series of management missteps...

I had a gut to sell in September 2023 around 260p - should have acted upon the same :(

Dividend Yield at 187p is 12.28% and EV/2p is $6 (SQZ has negligible decommissioning costs).

HBR for its recent deal was valued at 360p which equates to an EV/2P around $19-$20 including decommissioning obligations!!!

SQZ CEO is a shareholder value destroying numpty who is only interested in Empire Building..

MF should go sit at Linda Cook's feet to learn about how to transact deals!!!

SQZ CEO diluted SQZ shares when they were undervalued by grossly overpaying for Tailwind with its assets in hydrocarbon hating woke UK!!! Even the numpty Tory party has gone woke - WTF is with the loco MP who resigned over the weekend re Tory Climate Policies!!!

To wistfully reminisce at this period in 2023 SQZ had net cash more than 210p per
share (today's share price).

Absolute abdication of fiduciary duty and bottom drawer management!!!

Sickening to forecast that FY 2023 accounts will show that SQZ management has paid themselves mega bonuses for dire shareholder value creation...

ALL THIS WHILE NO SHAREHOLDER BUYS FROM MITCH FLEGG!!! AND NO SHARE BUYBACKS!!!

SHARE PRICE IS HAMMERED DAILY ON LOW VOLUMES!!!

PATHETIC!!!

AND IF SQZ DOESN'T MEET PRODUCTION GUIDANCE - CEO AND MANAGEMENT SHOULD WALK THE PLANK!!!

SHAMELESS GRIFTERS!!!

Good to see SQZ tipped for 2024 on Motley Fool (even if the analysis lacks a little detail...):



"Pumping out value

North Sea oil and gas group Serica Energy (LSE: SQZ) isn’t the kind of stock I normally look at for value. But shares in this £850m firm currently trade on just three times forecast earnings and offer a stonking 10% dividend yield. What’s going on?

In my view, the market is rightly cautious about bidding up energy stocks to high valuations.

Oil and gas prices are prone to boom and bust cycles and Serica’s profits are directly linked to these commodity prices.

Looking further ahead, the energy transition means that long-term demand for fossil fuels is expected to fall.

On the other hand, Serica’s recent profits have been supported by very strong cash generation. The company’s 10% dividend yield looks affordable to me, especially as the most recent accounts showed a net cash balance.

Serica’s acquisition of Tailwind Energy earlier in 2023 also means its production is now much more evenly split between oil and gas. That reduces its exposure to volatile UK gas prices.

The Tailwind deal has also opened up some new drilling opportunities for the year ahead, which are expected to result in quick production gains.

I’m generally cautious about investing in fossil fuel producers these days. However, I think that Serica is a well-run business that’s affordably valued. On balance, I think the shares are probably too cheap at current levels and could deliver attractive returns in 2024."
