It’s been a while since we’ve had a new IPO of a large oil and gas company in the UK, so Ithaca Energy (ITH) caught my attention, especially as it is a company that I had followed previously when it was listed.
Ithaca Energy (ITH) has IPO’d today at 250p giving it a market cap of £2.5 billion making it the biggest London IPO of the year to date. Well done Goldman Sachs. There is a big push to get Joe Retail buying in the after market. But is that a smart move? Top analyst Ashley Kelty of Panmure Gordon thinks not and in an email, below, sent today has savaged the issue.
