NZ Oil & Gas Ltd: Impacted by Pike River Coal

NZ Oil & Gas Ltd [NZO.NZX] is an almost 30% shareholder in Pike River Coal Ltd [PRC.NZX] and as such will clearly be impacted greatly in terms of the financial impact on it in relation to the Pike River Coal disaster which looks to have taken the lives of 29 brave men.

Its shares maybe suspended until Tuesday, as PRC's will be and follows the suspension of both on their listings on the ASX.

Apart from the tragedy, it will be hard to fathom the financial impact on NZO, but it will be substantial and as such will have a material impact on the share price of the company.

It is possible that the PRC mine may never be put back into commission, so this would mean PRC the company would be no more but this could be an opportunity for investors to get NZO shares on the cheap - they at least have oil assets to fall back on.

Best to all the families down on the West Coast. Our thoughts are with you.

Long Term View: NZ Oil & Gas Ltd

In this series of posts I am going to be looking at stocks listed on the NZX in relation to their returns to shareholders over the life of their listing -what shareholders would now see in their back pockets if they had invested in the company IPO. The calculation of returns includes dividends and tax credits.

NZ Oil & Gas Ltd[NZO.NZ] has been a good performing stock since its September 1981 listing at 35c*. NZO shareholders have done well. With 15c in net dividends and 30% more in tax credits (see chart above) and numerous dilutions in shareholder capital** gives NZO a 410% return (see chart below for the share price percentage gain against the average of all NZX indexes - does not include dividends, tax credits and the share split in its calculation) and over the nearly 29 year listing of NZO an approximate annual net return of just over 14%.

This is approximately a 100% worse return when compared to the average of all NZX indexes.


1989 adjusted price, so actual returns could be higher or lower*
Capital raisings for NZO & [PRC.NZ] and various calls to the market for funds estimated at a 20% dilution for shareholders**
