$RKH.L | $RKH | Rockhopper announces it has successfully received €31 million in insurance proceeds.
Rockhopper is preparing to file a new ICSID arbitration against Italy. The costs for this process are covered by a dedicated monetisation funder, ensuring no additional cash burn. The recovery will first repay insurers, with any remaining funds going to RKH and its funder (without impacting the company's cash position).

I am excited to share this document on 🐧 Rockhopper and the Sea-Lion project:
🔗 beststocks.info/article/navi…
Rockhopper, a debt-free company, holds a 35% stake in the Sea-Lion project (partners with the operator Navitas). Although the company's market value is only about $350 million, its potential discounted cash flow is over $2 billion.
An investment opportunity in the Sea-Lion project, the world's 4th largest pre-FID proven oil discovery.

We've just published a new writeup for our paid subscribers:
- the sole provider of Ultra Short Pulse lasers for anti-drone and anti-infrared missile applications, which belong to the Direct Energy Weapon space.
- Its solution in combating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is 12 times cheaper and lighter than the alternatives while offering a faster firing rate and many times lower power needs in combating UAVs.
- The company has won all Research & Development contracts for USP lasers from the Department of Defense (DoD), propping its dominant position in further weapon development.
- It holds nearly 30 patents, of which about 10 are classified by the Department of Defense.
- Insiders own approximately 26% of the company
- Following successful indoor tests, the company will conduct field tests next month, which could serve as a strong catalyst for the stock.
- We estimate that its US Defense Total Addressable Market (TAM) exceeds $16bn, while the company is currently valued at less than $0.5bn.
- Additionally, management is exploring potential sales to the NATO members and applications in medical, agricultural, and industrial sectors.
- We project a substantial internal rate of return (IRR) of 25%, with a total potential upside of 6x in a few years.
- This is an early-stage business that still requires further weapon testing, Department of Defense contracts, and investment in manufacturing capabilities, it carries substantial risks. However, its excellent product, competent management, favorable market conditions for Direct Energy Weapons, and significant upside potential may make it worth playing.

We just published our new free write-up on Uranium Energy Corp $UEC! It's a rapidly growing uranium miner poised to benefit from the massive and widening supply-demand gap in the uranium market. Here's why we like it:
- Persistent Supply-Demand Imbalance: ~15mmlbs of uranium supply gap, only projected to grow. This combined with now depleted inventories will put a lot of pressure on uranium prices.
- World-Class Asset: Holds one of the largest uranium portfolios globally, with over 230 mmbs M&I resources, supporting a projected 14-fold production increase by 2027.
- Undervaluation: Our NAV valuation of ~$13.65/share suggests a 118% upside potential at a projected $100/lb uranium price in three years (26% share price IRR). Even at current $80/lb uranium prices, UEC is undervalued with an estimated upside of 73%.
- Wide Moat: $UEC has captured one of the best assets in North America and is ramping up its stake in $ANLDF among other extremely well executed investments. These together with no debt and ~$250mm of fairly liquid assets (net cash and highly desired uranium inventories) provide a safety net.
- Key Catalysts Approaching: Rapid production ramp-up from Wyoming and Texas operations in within a year, and long-awaited resupply purchases from nuclear power producers.
- Strategic Positioning: Focus on U.S. and Canadian production aligns with Western energy independence goals, potentially benefiting from future government support and prolonged tariffs on Russian uranium.

English:
A great take on $ELAL.TA's by @dan_zafrir on current pricing with a forward-looking perspective.
Essential to pay attention (read to the end):
1) Load factors have been very high since the start of 2025 and into Q3.
2) Large backlog of forward ticket sales, including advance payments that earn high interest.
3) EL-AL has built a solid frequent-flyer program in recent years.
4) Many co-branded credit-card holders, with the agreement with CAL expiring in 2026.
5) [Critical] EL-AL hedged Jet-fuel prices after seizing attractive prices in April.
6) [Critical] Two additional aircraft have been added to the fleet and production capacity.
Remember: EL-AL doesn't need foreign carriers to disappear to make good money.
Ultimately, the company's capacity is limited by total flight hours, the number of aircraft, and manpower.
It's enough for foreign airlines to return and lighten the load on EL-AL's headquarters so the company can return to normal operations and preserve its energy. Employees are going above and beyond and are wearing down over time—I say this from personal knowledge and conversations with staff (both senior and junior).
Demand from Israeli travelers is high enough to keep load factors elevated even after foreign carriers return to Ben-Gurion.
Let me emphasize again: EL-AL holds more cash than debt. That means it can compete with foreign airlines—especially on trans-Atlantic routes—even if it has to cut ticket prices to boost load factors. Customers who have flown EL-AL in the past two years may choose to keep flying with the airline to maintain their frequent-flyer status.
From my own experience in recent months:
1) Planes are full, air- and ground-crews are hardworking and determined, morale is high—this seems to be the spirit across the organization. The efforts the company makes for its customers are tremendous, and I'm personally very grateful.
2) The King Solomon Lounge is so crowded that EL-AL opened a second lounge—and it's full too. This shows many members have attained Gold status and above, and will find it hard to give that up for the "standing-room" experience of low-cost carriers. It's tough to go back once you've tasted the luxury that comes with upgraded airline status.
That's all.
Note: I have a personal interest—I hold EL-AL shares. I'm not an adviser, and nothing here should be considered investment advice.

It will be interesting to see how much this complicates their $110mm exchange payment for the modified contract. Something to watch. $NFE
$NFE Energy Negotiation concludes that Genera PR will be able to claim $5.9mm in incentives for its first year, versus the $48mm claimed and below the $15.7mm AAPP had approved. elnuevodia.com/noticias/loca…
