RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:with a float this tight charts and prebid etc mean zero PNE - just thru that idea out there because George Fink founded both companies and is a major shareholder in both. Many have likely suggested it before.
Surge deleveraged their balance sheet by buying debt free companies for stock.
PNE probably has about 20 -25 million in net debt by end Q1, will do about 100 to 125 million in cash flow this year and only needs to spend 25 million to keep production flat. So a merger would improve debt metrics immediately and speed up de leveraging.
Both are fairly closely held (even with 330 Million shares) so it would improve liquidity for both shareholder groups.
decline rates are top tier for both
ARO obligations are significant for both.
I like both of them, agree oily stocks look better for now but a merger would strengthen both.
