RE:WTI and nat gas up nicely today I agree it is holding us down, but this will catch up quickly when/if the deal is shot down and earnings comes out showing how much cash the company is making. Also NCIB should start shortly after the deal is dead if there are no other immediate offers.
If the deal
is dead, this short term flux only really impacts traders as mid 2024 the stock will likely be where it is suppposed to be with sustained higher oil prices. I don't think management can hold this down for that long if the deal gets shut down.
