Summary
Etablissements Maurel & Prom SA is a Paris-listed mid-sized oil and gas exploration and production company operating assets across Gabon, Angola, Tanzania, Colombia, and Venezuela.
Rationale
A 35.3% ROE, 74.8% profit margin, and 74% YoY net income growth in H1 2026 validate the quality-momentum signal driven by strong operational cash flow and price momentum.
Material risks
- 1Debt and execution risk from closing the $1.33 billion Gran Tierra acquisition, which substantially increases future leverage via $582 million of rolled-over senior notes and a $350 million prepayment facility.
- 2Ongoing operational exposure to Venezuelan sanctions and geopolitical shocks under OFAC General License 50A, alongside drilling risks like the non-commercial Magico-2X well.
