NOG recently reported record cash flow and production of which 57% is oil based. Management just announced it has exercised its option to increase Uinta basin holdings. It trades at 7x earnings, under 2x book and supports a 32% ROE. Its dividend is backed by a payout ratio under 30% of cash flow. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $32, looking to achieve $50 -- upside potential of 30%. Yield 4.2%
Our PAST TOP PICK with NOG is stagnating. To remain disciplined, we recommend trailing up the stop (from $32) to $36 at this time.
