Baffles Me

This market continues to baffle me.  Oil is up (at least for now) - OBE had pretty good Q2 report and most of the Canadian Oil companies are is a sea of Red - we just can't seem to catch a break - The Market sure doesn't seem to like the oild sector. (with the exception of the shorts of course)

Jeeesh

I sold some CJ on Tuesday to help cover me on OBE through the delta covid variant skakeness. Lucky it got over 3.35 today on cj sales as well so I could cushion abut more.

Trouble with OBE is too much fund flows will be chewed up by interest expense from excessive debt
Comment by Hendrick3 on Aug 05, 2021 8:56pm
At these prices, they are paying down debt, increasing production and as a result they will see increasing free cash flow. Too much debt for $45 oil but for $70 oil, they are a cash machine.

K23 your OK If obe goes just a little more down I will jump in 30% lower about from all time high I didn't change truthful you give me that. Always straight I don't like pumpers and shorter I don't like people losing money but to see others that make excuses for bad management are they supposed to make money for shareholders come on are we suckered (never give an even break)
Comment by bullhorn3 on Jul 30, 2021 11:20am
David, I think you are wrong. If you look at the SP of BTE after their quarterly results were announced, the SP went down, even though the quarterly results were not bad. The OBE results were also not bad, but the SP is going down. And the same story is true of almost all the O&G stocks. The slip in SP of OBE has nothing to do with management. And once WTI drops off a cliff, OBE's SP will ...more

Net income -- Net income of $322.5-million ($4.33 per share) in the second quarter of 2021 benefited from higher FFO and a $311.5-million impairment reversal within the company's Cardium ...more  
Comment by kavern23 on Jul 30, 2021 1:39pm
It was have been a positive 11M net income. But if you take out some one time expense on shareholder compensation, hedging loss and fee etc and OBE easily can earn 30-40 cents a quarter going forward.... WTI is 74 right now. Q3 will be 40 cents plus earnings...I wouldnt worry too much about it.

Comment by Hendrick3 on Jul 30, 2021 1:51pm
I agree Kavern and accompanying the write up is an offsetting higher depletion cost of about $8 million a quarter by my calculation. Going forward with higher prices less that higher depletion, I think $30 million a quarter in earnings and about $60 million a quarter in FFO or earnings of 40 cents per share and FFO of 80 cents per share. 
Comment by kavern23 on Jul 30, 2021 2:07pm
The funny thing is the impairment price decks show higher then 70 expected for 2021 and these companies act like WTI oil is going to be 60 for the year...Obe uses 70.50 for Wti. TVE used over 71..like 71.33. plus 7 months of year have passed. If oil prices though remains above 70.50 that OBE used as the new price deck for 2021 impairment...I think Q3 and Q4 depletion would get a postive bump...no ...more  
Comment by kavern23 on Jul 30, 2021 2:25pm
Hendrick3 or anyone else...I admitingly know sh*t about the management compensation plans. My question is...does management have any financial incentive in these programs to "sandbag" future estimate numbers? Like do they have incentive for the share price to go up later in 2021 then right now.
Comment by kavern23 on Jul 30, 2021 2:33pm
I shouldnt say I know sh*t about them. One of the reason companies use these other programs instead of only stock options...is they help limit dilution vs 100% pure stock options. YGR for example doesnt have these unit programs but on flip side they have 10% of shares outstanding in stock options.... These programs dont push cost out in future. Is what it is.  Does help on the total ...more  
Comment by Hendrick3 on Jul 30, 2021 3:04pm
The stock compensation plans are usually awarded in the spring and approved at the AGM so there may be an incentive Inplay down the year end results although pretty hard to do. Any projections at this time are very preliminary and if management knew for sure what was happening in the upcoming year, that would be a management team worth compensating well. That said, I do think OBE is sandbagging ...more  
Comment by Kramerkarma on Jul 30, 2021 3:50pm
if another company tripples do they not have the same compensation? Or not because they didn't go from as low a base 18-20' ? ... CJ repaid 12M we did 19.3M ... so 1.5x ev should apply?
Comment by Hendrick3 on Jul 30, 2021 4:11pm
It's actually a very simple calculation. You take the difference between the shares times period end share price and the strike price and the difference between that calculation and the previous period end price less the strike price. Its effectively a mark to market calculation.  2nd quarter would be big for two reasons, the share price was more than double and they issued a second ...more
