Most Popular Narrative: 22.6% Undervalued

The fully funded Venus development project in Namibia, with a potential Final Investment Decision in early 2026 and First Oil expected by 2029, positions Meren Energy for significant long-life production and sustainable cash flow, supporting future revenue and earnings growth. Meren's focus on partnering and de-risking (e.g., farm-down processes in Equatorial Guinea and South Africa) reduces up-front exploration costs while keeping exposure to high-impact assets, supporting long-term resource replacement and resilience in future cash flows.
