Notable pick: Harbour Energy $PQQ0:GBR — UK's largest independent North Sea oil producer.

The stock was beaten down for years by the UK Energy Profits Levy, which pushed its effective tax rate above 100% for three consecutive years. The company kept generating cash but couldn't keep profits — taxes consumed everything.

Now two catalysts are aligning. First, the UK Treasury is considering scrapping the EPL — any relief would be a major re-rating trigger for the biggest levy payer. Second, Brent crude has surged past $100 on the Iran-Hormuz crisis, directly boosting revenue.

At 23% FCF yield and +40% YTD, this is a textbook deep value meets momentum setup. The risk: if oil pulls back and the EPL stays, the thesis unwinds.
