Operations: The company generates its revenue primarily from the exploration and production of oil and gas, totaling approximately $1.42 billion.

Insider Ownership: 10.7%

Earnings Growth Forecast: 18.3% p.a.

Energean, a UK-based energy company, has demonstrated robust growth with its first quarter 2024 production up by 49% year-over-year. While trading at 40.7% below its estimated fair value and expected to see revenue growth outpace the UK market at 12.2% annually, concerns persist due to high debt levels and a dividend that is not well covered by earnings or cash flows.
