Kalkine IPO Report

May 05, 2022

 

Company Overview

Finder Energy Holdings Limited, founded in 2004, is an oil and gas exploration company based in Perth, Western Australia. The company has a significant acreage portfolio in Northwest Shelf (NWS), a region abundantly rich in hydrocarbons in Australia.

Initial Public Offering

We had covered this IPO in our ‘Kalkine IPO Report’ on March 10, 2022 and had assigned this IPO with a “Neutral” rating given the relatively weak financial health of the company, volatility in the oil markets, and relatively smaller size of the company.

Conclusion

Investors who have invested into this IPO can consider ‘Exiting’ from their position at the closing price of AU$ 0.23 as on May 05, 2022, given:

  • Commodity Price risk: The price at which the company sells its oil and gas can influence its financial success and permit value. Any significant drop in realized oil and gas price might cause delays in transactions and exploration programs, as well as a reduction in the company's booked reserves.
  • Regulatory risk: The company's operations are subject to Australian and UK regulatory requirements. Any changes to these requirements may affect or restrict its right to conduct its business of exploration and development activities.
  • Other Risks: The company's other risks include the cost of drilling, exploration costs, equipping and developing operating wells. Hence, a surge in these costs may adversely impact the company's viability.
