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.
Sold her holdings last year on concern about sustainability of the dividend. Focused predominantly in Canada and growing their labs business. Feels they are doing all the right things in focusing on small growth initiatives. The challenge is that they are in an industry with a lot of headwinds. Would be concerned about the sustainability of the dividend over the medium and long-term, given the lack of growth initiatives available.
