SEPLAT
Investo's verdict, shared with you
Seplat Energy is a high-quality Nigerian upstream E&P with genuine operational momentum — 9M 2026 revenue up 27% YoY to $2.76 billion, production growing 7% to ~145,000 boepd, and net leverage compressed to just 0.14x — but the NGX-listed shares at ₦16,000 trade at approximately 39x trailing earnings and 3.6x book, levels that are materially above our blended fair value of ₦8,600 and imply a ~46% downside to intrinsic value even on generous assumptions. The quality of the underlying business is not in dispute; the price is.

Verdict moderated to Hold — Avoid was refused
Committee scores Value POSITIVE (overall mixed); an "avoid" against our own committee is not publishable without a re-derivation.

Our own committee reads this differently
Our rules-based factor scorecard scores this company's Value factor the opposite way to our fair value. Both cannot be right, so neither is presented as settled.
Committee scores Value POSITIVE (mixed) but our base fair value implies -46.3% downside.
