The Calgary based frac sand supplier recently reported 98% utilization in its trucking fleet -- an increase from 89% from a year ago. Its rail facility in NE BC has achieved unit train size capacity, which will add further revenues. We like that it trades at 4x earnings and under book value. We recommend setting a stop-loss at $8.50, looking to achieve $14.00 -- upside potential of 27%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $17.00)We reiterate SHLE, a frac sand distributor as a TOP PICK. The company recently announced a partnership with Trican Well Service to develop a world-class storage facility in NE BC, capable of receiving unit trains -- this should make it a key player in the development of this region. It trades at 4x earnings and under book value. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $9.50) to $10.50, looking to achieve $15.00 -- upside potential of 28%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $18.50)We reiterate SHLE, provider of frac sands as a TOP PICK. Last reported earnings confirmed a 136% increase in free cash flow and 31% expansion in margins, which was allowing for continued retirement of debt. It trades at 4x earnings, under book value, and a robust ROE of 168%. We continue to recommend a stop at $10.50, looking to achieve $15.50 -- upside potential of 19%. Yield 0%
(Analysts’ price target is $15.50)Canada's largest provider of frac sand. Demand for frac sand is quite high, especially with LNG coming on. Executing very well. Refinanced debt at lower rate, pushing it out to 2029. Easily an $18-20 stock in the next year. US and potential Canadian governments are much more pro-energy. No dividend.
(Analysts’ price target is $18.00)
Our PAST TOP PICK with SHLE has triggered its stop at $13. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. When combined with our previous guidance, this will result in a net investment gain of 14%.
Highly volatile stock.
Good to buy when out of favor.
Service style business is the first to be cut when energy prices fall.
Good if bullish on energy(risky).
Better names for investors (Trican/Precision).
