RE: NOT A BIBLE........ 1) I do not pump anything....read my posts carefully. I write in more than 20 boards for quite different stocks other than SCS of course.
2) So you IGNORE the $$$$$/boepd valuation AND the CAP/FFO valuation AND the EV/FFO valuation which all 3 are not favoring DTX vs SCS......
and you want to focus on ONLY ONE metric, the debt....ok
DTX and SCS have the SAME quarterly funds from operations in Q2 2012...Both is around $9-10 M......Read Q2 2012 reports for both again.
DTX has a long term debt of $65M by year end as the company says....
SCS has a long term debt of $105M by year end as the compamny says......
DTX has the debt/FFO ratio = 1,1
SCS has the debt/FFO ratio= 2,2
If you have any idea about how to evaluate energy companies, a ratio of 2 is DECENT and OK.
The gassy CLT, just sold to XOM at a hefty valuation of 100,000 $/boepd (77% nat gas!!!), has a ratio of 3+ and ARN has this ratio at 4+ !
