Centurion Energy International
CUX-T
WEAK BUY
Aug 25, 2005
One of the truly unique international oil players right now. Doesn't like the existing assets that much and is not quite sure how to put a pin in the valuation. They are spending so much money in exploration and are really finding things. If you are a high roller, it's exciting.
Has dropped because of 3 dry and abandoned wells. Going to try and get bigger, stronger casings that can handle the pressures. Going to restart in Q1. With their 32,000 BOE's a day should do about $1.35 annualized cash flow. Under $6, it is very cheap. Buy in Q4 of 06.
The company has had execution problems. If they can overcome these problems there will be an upside. At $7.00 it is a buy and he recommends buying it. Target price is $15.00.
