InPlay Oil Corp (IPO-T)

IPO is a small cap oil and gas company. It is down about 10% over the last year, but has been trending up year-to-date. IPO also pays out a high yield at 7.7% and is cheap on a forward price-to-earnings basis at 7.6x. Revenues have been on the decline in 2023 while revenue and EPS have both missed forecasts for the last three quarters. The company has no cash but also minimal debt on its balance sheet with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.15x. IPO pays out around 16% of its cash from operations in dividends over the last twelve months which is high, but attractive for income. We would say it is a good option tied to the price of oil and it offers investors an attractive income investment while being cheap on a forward earnings basis as well. We would say it is a moderate buy for oil and income exposure.
