Neutral read
PSK is on the listed royalty list. Banks were skipped. 27,479 boe/d, $178 million of revenue, and $186.6 million of net debt are the facts. Write bonus revenue as leasing cheques, not as long-life volume. Watch whether record oil royalty barrels repeat without new leasing bonuses and whether the share price strength brings more insider buying or selling.
