Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 12 opinions in the last 12 months.

Parex Resources Inc. is a Canadian-based energy producer with core assets in Colombia. The company has been dealing with production challenges due to a Colombian strike but remains a low-cost, debt-free operator with a focus on maximizing free cash flow and returning capital to shareholders through share buybacks. The company is projected to achieve significant upside potential in the stock price and has consistently demonstrated annual growth in per-share production and reserves. Despite concerns about the jurisdiction, Parex Resources Inc. remains a compelling value with strong potential for capital appreciation.

It has broken its support resistance at $20 and the previous resistance at $30. If it forms a base then that might be a time to buy.

The company still is in a net cash position. We do not think a dividend cut is imminent, but we are sure management is discussing the possibility, unless they feel operational setbacks are just temporary. We would still be comfortable holding it at current levels due to its very cheap valuation and balance sheet.

On paper, looked pretty good. Problem was the bad neighbourhood, all production was in Colombia. Change in government, civil unrest. Production growth is negative, calling dividend growth into question. Yield is 13%, not sustainable. Get out while the getting's good.

Company spent too much money on recent oil play. Major disaster. Company will have to find a new strategy going forward. NAV = $16/share. Would not recommend investing at this time. Dividend appears safe.

PXT EPS was $4.32, vs estimates $4.19; revenue of $1.17B missed estimates of $1.26B. But production guidance was lowered. Parex's disappointing operational performance again in 2Q  was caused by flooding at LLA-34 and lower-than-expected results at Arauca. Still, solid financial results suggest free-cash-flow momentum may extend into 2H amid a constructive oil price backdrop. Suppressed 1H volume indicates full-year production may be at or below the low end of guidance of 54,000-60,000 barrels a day, amid an operational halt at Arauca. Climbing operating cash should cover capital outlays, which will likely be at the lower end of $390-$430 million range this year. A 32% surge in 2Q free cash underscores Parex's cash-generative profile and should accommodate its annual dividend payout of $115 million (8% yield), suggesting scope for share buybacks in 3Q. But the CFO resignation adds uncertainty, and investors will probably start questioning the dividend. The stock is VERY cheap, but it was cheap three months ago as well. Operational performance needs to improve. We think, while it is generally OK due to the revised valuation and balance sheet, buyers can wait for this to shake out some more.

Yield is 8.8%, sustainable for the time being, watching very closely. He also writes calls for a really juicy premium. Sold off because nothing but disappointing news. New drilling required to backfill shortfalls. If you want dividends, this is not the one. Try FRU instead.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 31/23, Down 34.3%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

Our PAST TOP PICK with PXT has triggered its stop at $24.  To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.  When combined with our previous recommendations, this will result in a net investment loss of 15%.

HOLD

If you invest in Colombia, you just have to be cognizant that small communities will shake them down for payoffs from time to time. Likely to be a value trap for that reason. Very cheap, but challenged to see what the catalyst for capital appreciation is. He owns it in an income fund, for a yield of 7.2%. You can also write calls.

RISKY

Doesn't own shares currently, but is familiar with the company. Performance has been frustrating. Production located in Colombia (~60,000 boe/d). Dividend consistent with share buybacks well executed. Colombia very unstable - geopolitical tensions are putting pressure on company. Current share price is cheap, but better names available - too risky. 

oil / gas
DON'T BUY

It remains a value trap and doesn't see this changing. A Colombian strike took production offline. Management faces other troubles, like exploration risk. 

oil / gas
BUY

It is a great Canadian success story but is at a new low due to concern about being in Columbia. However Columbia needs Parex for its technology. Although it didn't hit production levels in the fourth quarter it is adding production and there is a big exploration upside. It is very profitable and is buying back 30% of its shares over the next few years.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Buy on the dip. Price of crude oil commodity is out of company control, affecting share price. Getting spikey with Red Sea transportation disruption. Low cost, debt free. Returns most capital to shareholders. Share buybacks. Financially disciplined, quality assets. 

oil / gas
HOLD

Doing the right things: modest growth, maximum free cashflow, pays a dividend, aggressively buying back stock. Would be a core holding if it weren't for the jurisdiction. Compelling value, trading below 3x with free cashflow yield 16%. There are better opportunities for capital appreciation.

BUY

OPEC meetings are reactive, not pro-active. With all their data, for instance, they cut production if that data foretells weak demand. So, a cut is not a good thing. That said, he would buy quality oil stocks like Parex and Tourmaline.

TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We again reiterate this Canadian based energy producer with core assets in Colombia.  The company projects production to grow to 54-57,000 boed -- with analysts projecting a 25% boost in free cash flow.  It trades at 4x earnings, 1.1x book and supports a 31% ROE.  Cash reserves are growing, while stock is aggressively bought back and debt is reduced.  We continue to recommend a stop at $24, looking to achieve $36 -- upside potential of 33%.  Yield 5.2%

(Analysts’ price target is $36.02)
