The stock should re-rate toward the pro-forma NAV of $12.49 as deal closure milestones are achieved. Monitor the special stockholder meeting (expected Q3 2026) and regulatory approvals in Colombia and Ecuador. The planned share repurchase adds further upside. If the deal closes, the debt-free balance sheet and Canadian/Azerbaijan growth story could support a higher valuation multiple.
