To think that four years ago this was a high flier with a share price of 172p and an order book of hundreds of millions of dollars. Sales = vanity. Even today, at just under 4p and suspended, there is a c£20 million market cap but there is also official confirmation that shareholders will be wiped out. For Lucian Miers, Evil Banksta and myself a final vindication. For the BBMs who knew better another lesson that they don’t.
Once again it is ouzo on cornflakes time for a number of us on this website as Petrofac has provided an update on its restructuring and the news for those cretinous enough to ignore our advance and who remain on the shareholder list is ever more grim.
The cost of borrow went to 500% and Evil Banksta had to close out a profitable short some months ago. So his Christmas swans are not being financed by Petrofac (PFC) but I am sure that Adam Reynolds will ride to the rescue of Liverpool’s greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd. Still, a refinancing today shows that, as ever, Evil Banksta was right and has good reason to be smug and conceited.
Previously, Liverpool’s greatest numbers man since Ken Dodd had suggested that shares in Petrofac (PFC), currently 13p, were worth 4p. But in light of recent developments I asked him if he was being too generous “is the stock worthless”. The great man opined:
Petrofac (PFC) has announced yet another can kick on its financial restructuring. It still looks as if a restructuring to deal with its mountains of debt and urgent need for cash will go through but just not yet. But when it does the shares, now 13p giving a £68 million market cap, will collapse.
Shares in Petrofac (PFC) are back from suspension with its annual report published last week and they have rocketed by almost 70% to 17.5p, a market cap of £76 million: don’t get caught with your trousers down. Remember the auditors “disclaimed” their opinion such is the mess the company is in.
