PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 17/06. Down 1%.) Acquired by Penn West Energy (PWT.UN-T)
oil / gas
COMMENT
Has declined significantly in the last 2 months. Part of it is due to the decline in gas prices. Also, their payout ratio is a little high. Market is looking for a distribution cut. Currently they are up for sale.
oil / gas
COMMENT
Trading below net asset value. Difficult asset base causing them to miss production in the past. Near 20% yield. Looking interesting.
oil / gas
DON'T BUY
Higher cost production. They have a capital allocation problem. Distributions plus Cap-X is greater than their cash flow so they need an external source of capital to fund some of their distribution. Too much debt.
oil / gas
COMMENT
Historically have missed on their production numbers and he would like to seat management meet their numbers before owning. F&D costs were quite high this year. Have a lot of tax pools. Trading below its net asset value.
oil / gas
COMMENT
Just released reserves, which met analysts’ expectations. Debt to cash flow is over 2 X’s. Payout ratio is around 80%. Have set production guidance in the past and had trouble meeting it. Have a lot of tax pool, which is becoming very valuable. Possible takeover candidate. Doesn't meet his criteria.
oil / gas
DON'T BUY
35% of their natural gas is hedged at $7.60. Had some disappointing production and drill results, and he sold his position. Thinks it is a takeover target within the next year, but doesn't think it will get too much of a premium.
oil / gas
HOLD
An interesting situation. Quite a small trust and would be an early consolidation candidate. Distribution gives about a 20% yield, yet it has one of the lower payout ratios in the sector at about 110%.
oil / gas
DON'T BUY
There are better producers. Smaller cap and there are safer places to invest in. Yield of about 20% is a red flag that they may have to drop their distributions.
oil / gas
WAIT
Missed production numbers a couple of times and has more leverage than he likes. Has a good asset base, so has the opportunity to fix itself going forward. Because it is gas weighted, not a good time to enter.
oil / gas
WEAK BUY
One of the smaller oil/gas trusts. Stumbled on production on a few quarters over the last few years. There is a risk this could continue. The properties within the trust are very good. Would hope for a change in management.
oil / gas
TOP PICK
Huge yield. Trading at a huge discount to its net asset value. Have $450 million of tax losses. When 2011 rolls around, this gives them a huge tax shield.
oil / gas
SHORT
If you own sell. If you want a short position, this would be one.
oil / gas
DON'T BUY
Has a couple of issues. Very highly levered relative to its peer group. High payout ratio.
oil / gas
SELL
Trading at about an 18% yield. One of the smallest royalty trusts out there. Hasn't gotten enough critical mass and could be a consolidation candidate. Better places to be.
