Will hold it. ESI is a play on them lowering their $600 million of debt, and they are on target.

It is paying down debt at $200 million per year and is half-way through the process of paying off the total of $600 million. When debt is paid off and it is generating $200 million excess capital it can use this capital for dividends and share buybacks. As they approach this point we should see the stock price increase. It is worth about $450 million today.          Buy 7  Hold 2  Sell 0

COMMENT

From its recent results there is investor concern over whether they can pay down $200 million in debt that they had planned to do this year but management says they can. Total debt is $600 million. With a $500 million market cap, its free cash flow yields 40% and it trades at a decent value today.

It anticipated $200 million in free cash flow and achieved this. It is reflected in the price so he would hold back on new buying.

Still likes it. Has a price-free cash flow ratio of 2. Revenues depend on commodity prices, but the Oil Patch has become much more stable. They continue to pay down debt, so down the road can raise the dividend. Shares are down because sentiment to oil services is negative, and the company carries debt.

It has been a very volatile stock. The price is lower than a few years ago even though the debt situation is better now along with higher natural gas and oil prices. Analysts are targeting a price increase of 125% over the next 12 months.

Sideways looking pattern. Hard to predict future of stock. Doesn't seem to be going anywhere. If fails $2.00 mark, could be more downside. 5/10 rating.

It is in the energy services business.There has been a big drop in the rig count in the U.S. However the number of uncompleted holes is at a ten year low so new drilling will be needed. Also the price of natural gas is recovering. It is generating $200 million in free cash flow this year and the market cap is $400 million.

DON'T BUY

Service names have been strong, but this one has lagged. Debt issue. Leading edge rates are falling in US and Canada. Better opportunities in oil names.

He first bought it at 50 cents and it has had a bumpy ride through the years. It is now trading at an attractive yield with a $400 million value and $200 million in free cash flow this year. This gives it a very good 2 X free cash flow multiple. It will likely be using this cash to pay down debt.

TOP PICK

It recently reported its best best first quarter since 2014 and is on track for its first positive year since then, even though it acquired a lot more debt. At $2 per share the market is valuing it at 400 million. It expects to have 200 million in free cash flow this year so it would be trading at 2X free cash flow. With this money it could buy back half its shares in one year or pay a very large dividend of perhaps $0.50 per share. However the company is planning to pay back debt which is good since it will increase the equity value.    Buy 5  Hold 4  Sell 0

(Analysts’ price target is $4.81)

TOP PICK
More debt than in 2014. Operations are more profitable than in 2018. Should trade around $6. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $5.69)
oil / gas
TOP PICK
Natural gas is at a 14 year high and oil is at an 8 year high while ESI is only at 3 1/2 year high. There is going to be demand for oil and gas for years to come and drillers will be beneficiaries. It is over-leveraged but has greater upside over other drillers when things work out. Also Murray Edwards owns 20% and his access to capital is pretty sufficient. Buy 7, Hold 2 Sell 0 (Analysts’ price target is $6.00)

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 17/21, Up 247%) There is still more upside. It is not even at a three year high but oil and gas are at multi year highs. He hasn't sold any.

TOP PICK
Trading 40% lower than where it was in January 2020 before the pandemic. Oil prices and natural gas trading much higher than in January 2020. Discounted valuation makes the stock a top pick.
