Valeura Energy (TSX: VLE): 245% Reserves Replacement Ratio. 2C Resources ~x2.5. Decommissioning down by 35%

By Auctus Advisors

  • • YE24 2P reserves were estimated at 50 mmbbl (up from 38 mmbbl at YE23).
  • This represents a Reserves Replacement Ratio of 245%, significantly above our expectations of ~100%.
  • • The reserves revision reflects (1) upward revision of STOIIP estimates (the high achieved recovery factors suggest that the volumes initially in place had been underestimated), (ii), positive drilling results which reflect Valeura’s application of advanced drilling and completion technologies including geosteering and inflow control and (iii) better well performance with lower decline rates than initially estimated.

Thai Banks 4Q24 Screener; Krung Thai (KTB TB) Is in the Early Re-Rating Stages

By Victor Galliano

  • Krung Thai remains our core value pick among the Thai banks driving its solid post-provision profitability higher, delivering double-digit ROE, a sound balance sheet and attractive PBV and PE ratios
  • Krung Thai has the highest core capital ratios as well as delivering the best ROE of the peer group, along with one of the best efficiency ratios versus its peers
  • Its share price performance has been strong, yet we believe that this positive momentum should continue as Krung Thai still has scope to narrow the valuation gap with SCBx
