Petropavlovsk Company News - Booming gold price drives sector revaluation

Yesterdays rally in the companys share price pushed it up to GBp 38.4 (+23%) and was driven by the market finally pricing in the gold prices recent performance, which has significantly increased the overall value of the gold mining sector. In case of Petropavlovsk, a steep one-time re-pricing was, in our view, triggered by the newsflow regarding Prosperity approaching The UK Takeover Panel and requisitioning an investigation of UGCs recent actions (a concert party suspected), which fuelled a corporate conflict at the companys board of directors. With Prosperity officially challenging the changes in Petropavlovsks board advocated for by UGC, Everest and Slevin, the probability of the latter has decreased, which allowed investors to look at the stock as if the companys corporate strategy and operations remain unchanged.
