JKX Oil and Gas
Article Abstract:
JKX Oil and Gas has a large gas supply in Ukraine, though has had problems in obtaining payments from companies in that country, and this has affected its stock price. Economic reforms in Ukraine could help ease this problem. Gas prices could also be raised in Ukraine, where they are artificially low. The company represents a high risk investment, but the changes in Ukraine mean that this risk has been lessened. Mercury Asset Management holds 3.2 per cent of the company, which represents an increase in its stake.
