Also pleasing for shareholders was the 16% gain in the last three months. This could be related to the recent financial results, released recently - you can catch up on the most recent data by reading our company report. We love happy stories like this one.

The past week has proven to be lucrative for Advantage Energy investors, so let's see if fundamentals drove the company's five-year performance.

While markets are a powerful pricing mechanism, share prices reflect investor sentiment, not just underlying business performance. One flawed but reasonable way to assess how sentiment around a company has changed is to compare the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price.
During the five years of share price growth, Advantage Energy moved from a loss to profitability. That kind of transition can be an inflection point that justifies a strong share price gain, just as we have seen here.
The image below shows how EPS has tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail).
It's probably worth noting we've seen significant insider buying in the last quarter, which we consider a positive. On the other hand, we think the revenue and earnings trends are much more meaningful measures of the business. Dive deeper into the earnings by checking this interactive graph of Advantage Energy's earnings, revenue and cash flow.
Advantage Energy shareholders gained a total return of 7.4% during the year. But that was short of the market average. If we look back over five years, the returns are even better, coming in at 49% per year for five years. It's quite possible the business continues to execute with prowess, even as the share price gains are slowing. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. For example, we've discovered 2 warning signs for Advantage Energy (1 is potentially serious!) that you should be aware of before investing here.
There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of undervalued small cap companies that insiders are buying.

Independently certified best estimate contingent recoverable resources attributable to these projects currently total c. 1.6 billion barrels of ANS crude and 6.6 Tcf (trillion cubic feet) of associated natural gas. The Company owns 100% working interest in c. 259,000 acres. Pantheon's stated objective is to demonstrate sustainable market recognition of a value of $5-$10/bbl of recoverable resources by end 2028. This is based on bringing the Ahpun field forward to FID and producing into the TAPS main oil line (ANS crude) by the end of 2028. The Gas Sales Precedent Agreement signed with AGDC (Alaska Gasline Development Corporation) provides the potential for Pantheon's natural gas to be produced into the proposed 807-mile pipeline from the North Slope to Southcentral Alaska during 2029. Once the Company achieves financial self-sufficiency, it will apply the resultant cashflows to support the FID on the Kodiak field planned, subject to regulatory approvals, targeted by the end of 2028 or early 2029. A major differentiator to other ANS projects is the close proximity to existing roads and pipelines which offers a significant competitive advantage to Pantheon, allowing for shorter development timeframes, materially lower infrastructure costs and the ability to support the development with a significantly lower pre-cashflow funding requirement than is typical in Alaska. Furthermore, the low CO2 content of the associated gas allows export into the planned natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to Southcentral Alaska without significant pre-treatment. The Company's project portfolio has been endorsed by world-renowned experts. Netherland, Sewell & Associates estimate a 2C contingent recoverable resource in the Kodiak project that total 1,208 mmbbl (million barrels) of ANS crude and 5,396 bcf (billion cubic feet) of natural gas. Cawley Gillespie & Associates estimate 2C contingent recoverable resources for Ahpun's western topset horizons at 282 mmbbl of ANS crude and 803 bcf of natural gas. Lee Keeling & Associates estimated possible reserves and 2C contingent recoverable resources totalling 79 mmbbl of ANS crude and 424 bcf natural gas.

Meta in Talks for Scale AI Multi-Billion Investment
Live on Bloomberg TV CC-Transcript 00:00Not exactly a household name. What do scale AI do. And how significant is the investment? Yeah, absolutely. Few people have heard outside of the world of technology and of course of this company, but it has grown in prominence. And now, of course, it's making headlines with this potential investment, 0 billion from META, as you say, one of the biggest private sector investments that we would have seen for years. So Scale AI it focuses on one of the three key components that you need to build out large language models, which is data. So you have energy chips and data, though those are the three main components that come together. And scale AI is squarely focused on data. So they train up, or at least they build out quality data that these models then feed in to train on and they hire PhDs and others to help work through that data and quantify it and tag it. So that's essentially the business model. They've also providing their own solutions into enterprise and have been pushing into defence as well. And I think what this deal tells us is a few things. One Meta of course, that Mark Zuckerberg is not going anywhere in terms of its investments around A.I.. They've pledged to invest at least $60 billion this year and 10 billion now for scale A.I.. If this, of course, comes to pass, so Meta is full bore on the focus on AI, particularly as well around data, it's a reminder that data is becoming a key battleground because along with energy and chips getting hold of the data, quality data is becoming increasingly difficult for these large language models. And so there is a fight on that spectrum as well. And then the third part of this, I think, in terms of what it tells us is defence technology Meta is increasingly working with the Pentagon, particularly further around things like virtual helmets and AI infused helmets for the military. And scale AI already has relationships with the Pentagon. So I think it's also a reminder that matter is getting closer in terms of defence technology as well. So on all three levels, I think those are the significance In terms of the deals that came through this company. Scale AI was valued at 14 billion USD back in 2024. You can imagine that that valuation is much higher now. Yeah. And also we've got London Tech Week kicking off today. What's the top of the agenda? Well, I was talking about data and energy and chips while chips will be front and center because Jensen Huang of nvidia will be giving the keynote speech at London Tech week later this morning alongside the Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Nvidia also expected to announce Jensen Huang some investments here in the UK around training the workforce to be able to use these A.I. applications. They've pledged to train about 100,000 people up until about 2030, investing in the R & D space as well in Bristol, Bristol here in the UK. So the focus is going to be on Jensen Huang has to say at that keynote speech and those investments and how the UK is trying to position itself in this AI race versus the US versus China and also as well versus their counterparts across the channel in Paris because France is also hosting Viva Tech, which is a big tech event and Jensen Huang will be going there as well. And France has been able to build out an AI ecosystem with tax cuts. That is something that arguably the UK government be looking for, which is desperate for growth. And there is one solution for this UK government. They hope to drive growth levels higher in the UK.

Getty's landmark UK lawsuit on copyright and AI set to begin
By Sam Tobin LONDON (Reuters) -Getty Images' landmark copyright lawsuit against artificial intelligence company Stability AI begins at London's High Court on Monday, with the photo provider's case likely to set a key precedent for the law on AI. The Seattle-based company, which produces editorial content and creative stock images and video, accuses Stability AI of breaching its copyright by using its images to "train" its Stable Diffusion system, which can generate images from text inputs. Getty, which is bringing a parallel lawsuit against Stability AI in the United States, says Stability AI unlawfully scraped millions of images from its websites and used them to train and develop Stable Diffusion. Stability AI – which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in funding and in March announced investment by the world's largest advertising company, WPP – is fighting the case and denies infringing any of Getty's rights. A Stability AI spokesperson said that "the wider dispute is about technological innovation and freedom of ideas," adding: "Artists using our tools are producing works built upon collective human knowledge, which is at the core of fair use and freedom of expression." Getty's case is one of several lawsuits brought in Britain, the U.S. and elsewhere over the use of copyright-protected material to train AI models, after ChatGPT and other AI tools became widely available more than two years ago. WIDER IMPACT Creative industries are grappling with the legal and ethical implications of AI models that can produce their own work after being trained on existing material. Prominent figures including Elton John have called for greater protections for artists. Lawyers say Getty's case will have a major impact on the law, as well as potentially informing government policy on copyright protections relating to AI. "Legally, we're in uncharted territory. This case will be pivotal in setting the boundaries of the monopoly granted by UK copyright in the age of AI," Rebecca Newman, a lawyer at Addleshaw Goddard, who is not involved in the case, said. She added that a victory for Getty could mean that Stability AI and other developers will face further lawsuits. Cerys Wyn Davies, from the law firm Pinsent Masons, said the High Court's ruling "could have a major bearing on market practice and the UK's attractiveness as a jurisdiction for AI development".
