Valeura Energy Inc. (VLE) has shown impressive performance with a current market cap of $809 million, reflecting a 5% increase for the year. The company reported earnings per share (EPS) of 5 cents in Q2, which fell short of estimates, but its revenue of $129.2 million exceeded expectations, indicating strong operational performance. Additionally, EBITDA of $62.4 million beat estimates by 5%, showcasing effective cost management and robust financial health. With current oil production averaging 23,150 barrels per day, an increase of 8%, and a strong cash position of $242 million with no debt, Valeura is well-positioned for future growth. The recent 'go' decision on the Wassana field and ongoing construction efforts suggest that the company is taking significant steps towards expanding its portfolio, despite the inherent risks involved. Experts express confidence in maintaining a small position in the stock due to its strong balance sheet and attractive valuation metrics.
He thinks this company has very good prospects. The stock price indicates the market likes what they have done with the drill bit. He thinks as they continue to put the pieces in place the stock price will go higher and will become a potential target for a take-out. It has the potential to grow without the commodity price rally, he says. IF he was to buy into it, he would buy into a third now and scale in in the months ahead.
(Top Pick Jan 29/13, Down 50.00%) He was out and bought a little bit back recently. Issues in Turkey are not helping. Still has a significant amount of cash and is trading just above that. Turned the corner on the production side. He would buy it back here but prefers ALV here because it trades below its cash balance.
James HodginsInternational oil/gas sector has been hammered. Really likes management, the former management team on Verenex, that grew production and ultimately sold for a triple. Quietly and slowly building out their asset base in Turkey. Half the market cap is in cash and ready to be spent on one light oil field and one heavy oil field in Turkey. Meanwhile their base production, natural gas in Turkey (going to Europe), continues to turn out some nice cash flows. Using Fracing techniques.

He says this company has assets in Turkey where natural gas is priced three times higher than Canada. The company has not completely tested their well there and their pilot well will not be online until 2019. Over 95% of Turkey’s natural gas is imported, so the potential is great. If the stock was under $2 it would make sense. He believes there are better options in Canada – this is too speculative at this time.
