I don’t know what happened last week but I tend to agree with the instos ripping the tree out of the ground theory which has already been discussed. There is no way that the run up to the $0.315 price prior to the trading halt factored in the 1153pj reserve - it certainly took me by surprise. In my opinion consensus was probably between 300-500pj.
I’m not too concerned with last week, as I know a takeover of this nature by a listed company carries far more weight than share price fluctuations that don’t make sense. Don’t forget the information below! As yes, this was before the well documented gas shortage.
In 2008, QGC took over Sunshine’s Gas for about $900 million.
