◉
The acquisition has been made using conservative
price assumptions
Whitehaven adopted conservative
long-term coal price forecasts in its
bid valuation
The acquisition is attractive at broker
consensus prices, which are materially
below current spot prices
There are a number of independent
published long term coal price
forecasts that are materially higher
than broker consensus
(e.g. Commodity Insights)
