RE:RE:RE:Current PTA P/E ratio

Hegemonicoblivion,

You are free to ignore the EV/EBITDA ratio in the energy sector. However, Apollo Global Management, one of the biggest private equity funds similar to Blackrock (BX) and Warburg Pincus, use it blindly when they evaluate their energy-related investments.

Same applies to Blackrock (BX), Warburg Pincus and numerous other funds around the world.

And Petroamerica's EV/2014 EBITDA ratio is just 1 times now at the current price of C$0.30 per share, while their peers in Latin America, Africa and Kurdistan trade between 4 and 300 times.

I quote from Reuters:

" In August, Apollo's co-founder and Chief Executive Leon Black told investors that energy deals are helping Apollo invest its Fund VIII at an average of 6 times a company's annual earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, versus a private equity industry average of 9.5 times for all deals."

The link from Reuters (as of October 2014):
