Pantheon Resources traded higher after ongoing talks with equity investors put a spotlight on the valuation gap for its Alaska assets.
London, July 1, 2026, 22:05 BST
- Pantheon jumped 7.9% to 14.34p. The FTSE AIM 100 was up 0.69%.
- Pantheon is in talks with equity buyers, according to Energy Voice, but there was no new operational RNS on Wednesday.
- The stock at 14.34p and 1.46 billion shares gives it an equity value near £209 million. That works out to about 13p for each company-stated ANS crude barrel.
Pantheon Resources plc (LON:PANR) climbed 7.9% to 14.34 pence on Wednesday, according to delayed data from LSEG/Investors Chronicle as of 17:11 BST. The London Stock Exchange ran on its normal weekday hours, with trading from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. BST.
The stock beat the FTSE AIM 100, which was up 0.69%, according to Hargreaves Lansdown. The move stands out given the numbers. Around £15.3 million of implied equity got added, but only about £0.73 million worth of stock changed hands at the last price.

Pantheon didn’t put out an RNS with the latest signal. Energy Voice reported Wednesday the company is in talks with equity buyers and named CEO Max Easley in a summary. On the list of Pantheon’s releases: Director/PDMR shareholding from June 10, grants of awards and options on June 9, and the last operations update on June 2.
Pantheon on June 2 said farm-out talks were still ongoing and several potential partners were in its data room. The company reported some progress, but warned not to expect quick results. Pantheon said it aimed to update the market before summer ends.
The stock is still trading on funding headlines. Pantheon holds the full working interest over roughly 258,000 acres on Alaska’s North Slope and lists about 1.6 billion barrels of recoverable ANS crude and 6.6 trillion cubic feet of gas as certified best estimates. The company says its Ahpun and Kodiak fields are close to both the Trans Alaska Pipeline and the Dalton Highway.
| Resource/price lens | Figure | Calculation |
|---|---|---|
| Implied equity market cap at 14.34p | £209 million | 14.34p times 1.46 billion shares |
| Equity per ANS crude barrel on book | 13p | £209 million divided by 1.6 billion barrels |
| Kodiak 2C liquids that could be sold | 1.2079 billion barrels | Pantheon project numbers |
| Equity per barrel marketable from Kodiak | 17p | £209 million over 1.2079 billion barrels |
| 12-month analyst target, median | 39.21p | Two analysts, LSEG/Investors Chronicle |
| Implied equity value at analyst target | £572 million | 39.21p multiplied by 1.46 billion shares |
Analyst forecasts stayed far apart after shares rose Wednesday. Both LSEG/Investors Chronicle analysts rate the stock “outperform.” Their 12-month price target sits at a 39.21p median, with top at 39.96p and bottom at 38.45p. Shares closed at 14.34p, making the median target about 173% above the latest price. Investors Chronicle
Pantheon shares have rebounded sharply from their 52-week low of 6.70p recorded Jan. 15, 2026, finishing up 114.03% from that mark. But the price is still down about 57% compared with the high of 33.26p reached on Aug. 19, 2025.
Pantheon’s June update connected its asset plans with Alaska LNG. The company told investors it showed up at Alaska’s House Finance Committee alongside Exxon Mobil NYSE:XOM, ConocoPhillips NYSE:COP, and Hilcorp, giving testimony as possible suppliers for the project that The Glenfarne Group and the State of Alaska are backing.
The resource is still not confirmed. On Pantheon’s Kodiak page, the 2C oil number is 425.8 million barrels, with NGLs at 782.1 million barrels, plus 5,396.3 billion cubic feet of residual gas. That totals 1,207.9 million barrels of marketable liquids. In the 2024 NSAI update, then Technical Director Bob Rosenthal said the results show “the true scale of the Kodiak Field.” Pantheon Resources
