The stock symbol, or “stock ticker” for Leni Gas & Oil is “LGO”, or to be more specific, LON: LGO. This is what you need to type when buying shares in Leni Gas & Oil using an online trading program such as Halifax Share Dealing. It is also the symbol you need to look out for when using forex trading programs. However, as it’s listed on the AIM and is not part of the FTSE 100, it is unlikely that you will find this company posted on CFD trading software.
What is Leni Gas and Oil?
LGO, as the name suggests, is a gas and oil company that has performed very well over the years. The company was founded back in 2006 and had a very promising IPO on the London Stock Exchange. It has invested in a number of oil fields worldwide, beginning with several patches in waters off the Maltese coast and then expanding into Spain, Trinidad and other locations.
The company has experienced a lot of ups and downs and is heavily reliant on the price of oil. When this has increased they have enjoyed good gains and their shareholders have profited. When the price of oil has dropped, as it so often did between 2014 and 2017, then they have struggled. It is a volatile stock, which is typical of a penny stock and of a stock that is listed on the AIM marketplace.
LGO Shares / LGO Dividends
The market cap of Leni Gas and Oil shares is around £12 million, with a volume of 238,000. Over the years, turnover has been on the up, but profit has been going down. That’s because even though the company is investing more money and gaining control of more oil fields, the price of oil is holding them back and making life very difficult.
In 2001 they had a turnover of £3 million and they lost a total of £4 million. Such losses are not unexpected and can still lead to a profitable company and one that shareholders will benefit from. However, in 2015 that loss had dropped to £11 million. One of their worst years was in 2012, when they had a turnover of £3 million and a loss of £8 million, mainly due to changing prices and increased investments. Considering that such a big jump in share price was just around the corner for them, this clearly didn’t have any negative effects.
As for the LGO dividend, there hasn’t been one. Even when LGO shares were trading at a high amount they didn’t release a dividend and it’s unlikely that they will have one now that LGO share price is so low.
LGO Share Price History
Initially, the LGO share price was 75.00 per share. This was back when it was added to the AIM in 2007, not long after the company was founded. LGO’s share price increased steadily from there, reaching a peak of nearly 200 before plummeting to less than half of its Initial Public Offering on Halloween 2008.
It experienced some minor increases in the years that followed but was very volatile. By 2014 it had experienced some incredibly poor lows, but was still being tipped by many. Anyone following these tips and buying shares in LGO were about to be rewarded. In the summer of 2014 Leni Gas and Oil’s share price began to climb.
The price of oil was on the up. The company was performing well an the future was bright. As a result, it went from around 20.00 per share to nearly 120 per share in just a few short months. However, a year later it had dropped back down to 30 and then there was more bad news for LGO shareholders.
These days, Leni Gas and Oil shares are worth very little, averaging just 2.00 per share with a market cap of over £12 million. Despite that, many experts are still advising that you buy LGO shares if you have the chance and that you “hold” any shares you already have. Due to our previous dealings with LGO shares we’re not going to advise either way here on Buy Shares In.
However, we will say that there is some promise here. It may look like the company is ready to go bust and it might just do that. But if it manages to restore to its former glory and if Leni Gas and Oil shares go back to the way they were, then anyone investing now will be quids-in when that happens.
