Analysis

Bargain bin

Harbour Energy plc is priced cheaply, and that invites the natural question of why, since the underlying business scores below average.

On valuation, the picture is attractive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 4.8×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year.

Growth is solid; the safety picture is adequate. The company scores 14/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.
