Stock price when the opinion was issued
A small drilling company, with a very strong balance sheet. Have got horizontal drilling rigs, and if things turn up they will benefit. Efficient operators with high quality top performing rigs. Prefers the smaller guys as they fly under the radar, and have good relationships with the massive amounts of equipment. Could see $6 to $6.50 depending on what happens in the oil.
Thinks this is the best operator out there. Has exposure in Saskatchewan, which he thinks is wise. Pays a dividend. Have 50 rigs or so. Rock solid balance sheet. The whole drilling space will tend to move well in an environment like we are in now. Feels we are fairly well advanced into a fairly decent, cyclical upturn in drilling companies. 2.9% dividend yield.
From a fundamental basis, it has a solid client base, and has a bunch of new efficient rigs. Deep driller, so a good utilization rate. It has gone up nicely to this consolidation point, and feels it is a good buying point. This would have an Exit at about $7.50.
