Stockchase Opinions

Josef Schachter Trinidad Drilling Ltd TDG-T TOP PICK Oct 09, 2018

He would rather see this company stay independent--its metrics are better than either Precision or Ensign (the two companies bidding for Trinidad). However, he sees the combination of Trinidad with Precision is a good deal. He thinks Ensign might come back with a higher bid, creating a bidding rivalry. His price target is $7. If the company is bought by Precision, he would roll over, to become a shareholder of Precision. Note: Precision’s debt to equity is high, almost 1 to 1. Ensign offers a dividend but also has a much higher debt than Trinidad. Yield 0%. (Analysts’ price target is $2.34)

$1.950

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick November 9/17 Up 5%) The stock is benefiting from the Ensign bid at $1.68, but thinks it will need a $2.00 price per share to make sense. He would like to see the company remain independent. They have a strong management team. The company is moving more rigs into the US under term contract agreements. He has a $3.00 per share 12 month target price.

COMMENT

He sees tangible book value around $2.50 per share. Given the balance sheet of other potential suitors, he may not see many others beyond Ensign willing to bid for the company.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 09/17, Down 2%) A company is trying to buy them. They are the biggest driller in Canada. If we are having a recovery, you will get double the return in PD-T shares. He recommends accepting the deal.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 06/17, Down 10%) Any oil pick has disappointed this past year as oil prices fell, though this hasn't done as badly. TDG has two take-out offers, yet this stock is still down for the year.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 18/18, Down 8%) He hoped Trinidad would do the deal and be in the pockets of PD-T, but it did work out. Ensign's offer won in the end. It worked out for him.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jun 28/18, Down 5%) They has since been taken out by Ensign. He long sold this.

BUY
It is conservative, small but well managed.
