RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Share buybacks JuneThere is NO WAY on earth Baytex will achieve $1.5b debt target by 2025 unless WTI shoots to $95+ & remains there till 2025 end. At current strip pricing, $1.5B debt target to be achieved by late 2026 to early 2027 IMO, easy to do this napkin math.
With current WTI strip averaging $80s per bbl, Debt should reduce to $2.1 - 2.2 billion by end of 2024. Hopefully down to $1.7-1.8B by end of 2025 assuming $700 fcf continues. Good Luck to All!
AGAIN REMINDING that BTE management needs to show debt reduction on their balance sheet QoQ with ongoing beautiful stock buybacks.
