Comstock Buy Rating Maintained - Analyst Blog

Mon, 08 Dec 2008 18:45:00 GMT

Texas-based Comstock Resources, Inc. (CRK) is an independent oil and gas exploration and production company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of oil and gas properties. The company's operations are concentrated primarily in four regions in the U.S.: the Gulf of Mexico, East Texas/North Louisiana, Mississippi and South Texas. We are maintaining our Buy recommendation on Comstock shares, given the company's growing volumes (for the first nine months of 2008, volumes were up 36%), attractive valuation, and relatively lower risk profile. Additionally, the Bois d'Arc sale to Stone Energy has streamlined Comstock's operations and positioned it to function as a pure-play onshore natural gas producer. The Haynesville Shale play offers significant long-term reserve-add potential[More...]

Stone Energy a Buy, Target Down - Analyst Blog

Wed, 05 Nov 2008 18:56:00 GMT

Stone Energy's (SGY) third-quarter 2008 earnings were hurt by production slowdowns caused by hurricanes Gustav and Ike, which more than offset the contribution from higher oil and gas price realizations. On average, Stone produced 129 MMcfe/d during the quarter, down from 203 MMcfe/d during the year-ago period. We are keeping our Buy recommendation unchanged at this stage following the successful completion of the Bois d'Arc acquisition and steadily increasing production that is expected to reach about 275 MMcfe/d by year-end. The company's recurring earnings of $1.04 per diluted share, compared to $1.23 per diluted share in the year-earlier quarter. The year-over-year negative comparison was due to production slowdowns caused by Hurricanes Gustav and Ike, which more than offset the impact of[More...]

Safer Investing and Trailing Stop-Losses

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 17:35:00 GMT

This is a day and age where the price of a stock or a commodity (think oil, natural gas, gold, silver) can turn on a dime. In a New York minute big gains can be erased. All it takes is some guru dropping a hint or emitting a smelly piece of gossip about a company or a natural resource and in one session (or in one hour) we might see a 10%, 20% or 50% turnaround in the price.[More...]

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 16:06:00 GMT

We are upgrading Stone Energy Corp.'s (SGY) shares to Buy from Hold following the company's better-than-expected second quarter 2008 results. The stock's recent pullback (down more than 20% in the last month alone), primarily due to commodity-price weakness, has made its valuation very attractive. We like the acquisition of Bois d'Arc Energy (BDE). The strategic rationale of the transaction is compelling, given the complementary asset bases, strategies, and skill sets of the two companies. The new Stone Energy will be more diversified with a significant Gulf of Mexico exploration exposure. Our price objective remains unchanged, though we have raised our estimates. In the quarter, Stone Energy reported recurring earnings of $2.91 per diluted share, compared to $1.29 per diluted share in the year-earlier quarter. The year-over-year gain was driven[More...]

Area Gas Driller Offering Unusual Lease: Some Landowners Holding Back, Banking on Economic Improvement to Bring Better Offers From Drillers.

Sun, 12 Jul 2009 13:48:00 GMT

Jul. 12--The offer is somewhat unconventional, but a natural gas company that's leasing land in Luzerne County says its deal is a successful compromise for both parties, and leaseholders agree.
Denver-based WhitMar has locked up more than 22,000 acres in, among other places, Fairmount, Ross, Lake, Lehman, Union, Hunlock, Huntington and Dallas townships, according to company representative Brad Shepard.
WhitMar, which Shepard said is involved in similarly complicated and expensive drilling operations in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Utah and the Dakotas, is offering a four-phase lease.
