Obsidian Energy (OBE-T) appears to have garnered a mixed reception from industry experts. On one hand, it has substantial oil (70%) and gas (30%) exposure and is deemed attractive due to its Clearwater exposure, which excited the market this past summer. Additionally, the company benefits from a significant number of tax pools, likely allowing it to avoid taxes for around a decade, coupled with considerable undeveloped acreage that presents future growth potential. However, some caution is advised due to a somewhat contentious CEO and the small market capitalization that renders it largely irrelevant to institutional investors. While some positives are highlighted, experts suggest that there are better investment options available, creating a nuanced perspective on Obsidian's attractiveness as a long-term hold.

WATCH

On his radar. About 70% oil, 30% gas. Clearwater exposure got market excited this summer. Lots of tax pools, so probably won't pay tax for 10 years or so. Lots of underdeveloped acreage. If you own it, keep holding.

DON'T BUY

Somewhat contentious CEO. Fairly good well results. Market cap is so small as to be beyond irrelevant for almost all institutional investors. Better names to own.

DON'T BUY

Not a good investment with current management team. Other energy companies available with better opportunities.

DON'T BUY

Did a buyout that diluted their stock materially. There is pure inventory but with Clearwater optionality. Need a new Board, new CEO and not a name he would own now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Oct 22/18, Down 88%) He sold at $3.22, taking a big loss. They have a lot of worries. They are looking to sell the company. They might just liquidate the company, but clean up could be very expensive. He does not like stock consolidations and used that as a trigger to get out. He would not buy this now. He made a mistake -- when debt came down, so too did revenues.

DON'T BUY

The question is their ability to grow. They are going to try to sell the company. They have had declining volumes.

RISKY

They have put themselves up for sale. They are a Cardium player with quite a bit of debt. They have a lot of non-producing wells. People are worried about how much value there really is in the company after debts are paid off.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 18/18, Down 65%) There could still be a takeover. Their revenues are way down while debt has gone way up. He's moved on.

DON'T BUY

New interim president and CEO. Pretty good numbers on cardium wells. Issue is the debt. Debt is 22% of equity, but it's going the wrong way. Declining production and volumes. Not as attractive as the others. Need to show they can grow core numbers of the cardium. Guidance is negative. Capex is about equal to cash flow.

WATCH

He is watching it. The company is not going to keep their volumes flat. The CEO changed. They are guiding down on production while spending on CAP-X. He is keeping an eye on them.

HOLD

A takeover candidate? He was wrong with this. He recently moved it from a buy to a hold. It's high-risk and high-reward, has "danger" written across it. He likes the idea of a takeover, but doesn't know if it'll happen. This could be a good play in oil/gas with a lot of potential. He hasn't sold it, but at the same bankruptcy remains a real possibility.

DON'T BUY

He is watching it but it is not on his list right now. They are not experiencing very good growth right now. Their debt keeps going up. There are better names with more upside of growth.

DON'T BUY

The company has 19% debt and not a bad balance sheet, in his opinion. Book value is $3.90. It is not on his coverage list because they dropped production in their third quarter. They are spending money and not producing the assets they had before. However, this one is cheap.

DON'T BUY

Their debt level is too high for her right now. Debt levels are so important in a cyclical businesslike the energy space. They will be hurt by recent weakness in oil prices.

TOP PICK

They had over $3 Billion in debt but it is down to $408 Million due to them selling off a lot of assets. They had to hedge to survive and they all come off in the new year. The company loses money quarter after quarter, but that could change. There is huge insider buying. A major property of theirs came in on time and under budget.
