Scotia Agrees, Gamba Overspends and Underperforms....

[oilwatcher13]

Latest Research (December 16, 2021): OUR TAKE: Mixed. Canacol's 2022 guidance points toward a fairly wide production range (mid-point -10% below consensus) and higher-than-expected capex that will be directed toward growing its 2P reserves (200% replacement target). The higher capex also relates to the deferrals of exploration activity (largely seismic) originally planned for 2021. While we understand the market has prioritized FCF and growing cash returns to shareholders, we believe that CNE should continue to allocate a material portion of cash flow to growing its reserve base ahead of the Medellin pipeline. However, we would prefer CNE to remain capital disciplined and fall toward the low-end of its 2022 capex range. We maintain our Sector Outperform rating, but have lowered our one-year target price to C$5.00 (vs C$5.50) per share, based on our revised Risked NAVPS of C$5.23 (vs C$5.51).

GAMBA FACTOR.... this guy has to go to create some shareholder value... JMHO

GAMBA FACTOR... I wonder what Joseph Shackter thinks now that he has pumped this garbage and had Gamba lie to him ... over promise and under deliver... Shareholders funding the complete risk side of the new pipeline in which by Colombian Law CNE can only own 20%... someone is going to get a sweet deal with no risk and capital exposure... How much you want to bet it is GAMBAs buddies in Colombia.

Scotia Discontinues Coverage of CNE Gamba Factor is alive and well.... no accountability to anyone... treats CNE like his personal bank account greasing his buddies along the way... criminal... JMHO
