Stock price when the opinion was issued
Has been very negative on this name. Thematically they have incurred a ton of debt to develop oil sands and when you are the marginal cost barrel in the oil sands and financing it with debt, it is a risky business and it didn’t work out for them. Have gone through a process of management change, selling assets, etc. Still have a lot of challenges ahead.
Yesterday’s story. Victim of very poor operations and a turnover of their CEO twice over and the victim of extraordinarily high debt (debt to cash flow of 9 to 10 times). Probably zero value in the equity. Scale of operations is so small it is likely not a strategic buy for any company.
