RE:RE:Market cap equals revenue You certainly hit on some bearish talking points.
The bullish response would be:
1. 2P NAV is expected to jump again in 2024
2. Tax integration expected by mid year
3. Further exploration upside from some new high risk, high impact drilling
4. Oil price expected to grind higher due to OPEC+ compliance and summer driving season demand
5. Possibility of share repurchase +/- dividend
6. Possibility of another transformational transaction
7. Expansion of bull market to deliver higher valuation metrics to energy companies
The reality is the market is aware of your points and mine and currently is revaluing VLE higher based on ongoing management execution.
