Investor Insights

This summary was created by AI, based on 1 opinions in the last 12 months.

The experts have mixed opinions about the company's decision to split into two separate entities. While it may result in a return of capital for shareholders, there are concerns about the potential challenges of attracting investor attention to two tiny market cap companies. The cheap valuations and a 36% YTD gain have already factored in some of the potential, leading to a less enthusiastic outlook at this time.

Splitting the company into two to separate the PNG business makes sense to us. The return of capital could be as much as 76c per share. This all sounds attractive...BUT....it is already a very small company. With less capital, and a split, shareholders will be left with two tiny market cap companies, and it is very possible that they will struggle to get investor attention. Valuations are cheap, but owning two sub ~$30M market cap companies may prove to be very frustrating, unless small caps stage a big rally. Adding in cyclical risks, and we think the 36% YTD gain already reflects some of the possible potential. Thus, we are less enthusiastic at this time on this split.

COMMENT

He hasn't looked at this in years and it's a forgotten name. But he expects demand for oil to rise so there will be demand for energy services.

BUY
Really likes it. Mobile drilling rigs in Papua New Guinea with good margins and lucrative business. There will be more contracts. Service business in Canada doing well. Clean balance sheet, working capital surplus. Target price of $5 in the next few years.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Mar 28/19, Down 80%) No debt and strong balance sheet. They just replaced their CEO whom he will soon meet. HWO will survive. They cut their dividend to zero. Strong fundamentals means they will endure.

He likes it. They are in both Canadian services and drill rigs in New Guinea. It has a good balance sheet. 7% dividend last week and it is secure. He would add on weakness.

HOLD
It has a dividend yield of 6.3% and is involved in drilling rigs that are helicoptered in. They have a service rig business in Canada and the US. They are large on both sides and building their US side. This one has a dividend so there is more support than others is the space.

TOP PICK
They have two trains to move LNG and will potentially put on two more. They have a Canadian service business they are moving into the States and have no debt. About a 5% yield. He has a $4.80 target with $18 in the cycle. This is his mid-cap recommendation today. (Analysts’ price target is $4.75)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Past Top Pick Jan 18/17, Down 24%) They have a big drill program in New Guinea. They look very good from a financial point of view. You can’t fight the tape in the energy sector. They have no debt.

COMMENT

The key question is if the energy market turns around. If it did, this would be on the top of his list for stocks to own. They are in great shape on the balance sheet. It scores in the top 1% of valuation. This company will be a survivor. The problem is, he wants a stock that isn’t continually going lower every day.

oil / gas
BUY

She does not tend to look at PE ratios in oil services companies. They have assets in New Guinea and Canada. They are looking at an LNG project. There may be some downside risk on contract negotiations. It is generally a well run business.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

You could nibble away at it. He is not a real big fan of the sector as it is rolling over a bit. He likes their dividend, balance sheet and management team.

oil / gas
TOP PICK

They have Papua New Guinea operations and Canadian operations. All through the energy downturn, this company kept a clean balance sheet, and most years they had an excess cash position. Last year, they took advantage of it and bought 68 new rigs in Canada. Now the cycle starts to turn. Trading at 8X earnings. Dividend yield of 3.65%. (Analysts’ price target is $6.29.)

oil / gas
COMMENT

Probably a little too early to get excited about the drilling services sector. You need to see better sustained oil prices before a company starts spending more money. This company kept its balance sheet clean right through the cycle. They pay a nice dividend. They are survivors, and are using their strong balance sheet to pick away at acquisitions. They are getting iron at very, very discounted prices. Adding rigs very, very cheaply.

oil / gas
COMMENT

This has been on his radar screen. It is involved in the service side of things in Papua New Guinea. The 2 rigs they have are on longer-term contracts. The growth will be if they get into other businesses. There are lots of rumours floating around that they are looking to make acquisitions in Canada. That is where the opportunities lie. The stock is thinly and can be pushed around with institutional orders.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

He likes it. They made an acquisition a couple of weeks ago. They bought assets at 15-20 cents on the dollar. He has been picking away on it. It is still early with a lot of the service companies. They are at the bottom of the cycle. When they move it will be quick and be tough to get in.
