It has been a very volatile stock. The price is lower than a few years ago even though the debt situation is better now along with higher natural gas and oil prices. Analysts are targeting a price increase of 125% over the next 12 months.

It is in the energy services business.There has been a big drop in the rig count in the U.S. However the number of uncompleted holes is at a ten year low so new drilling will be needed. Also the price of natural gas is recovering. It is generating $200 million in free cash flow this year and the market cap is $400 million.

He first bought it at 50 cents and it has had a bumpy ride through the years. It is now trading at an attractive yield with a $400 million value and $200 million in free cash flow this year. This gives it a very good 2 X free cash flow multiple. It will likely be using this cash to pay down debt.
Teal LindeIt recently reported its best best first quarter since 2014 and is on track for its first positive year since then, even though it acquired a lot more debt. At $2 per share the market is valuing it at 400 million. It expects to have 200 million in free cash flow this year so it would be trading at 2X free cash flow. With this money it could buy back half its shares in one year or pay a very large dividend of perhaps $0.50 per share. However the company is planning to pay back debt which is good since it will increase the equity value. Buy 5 Hold 4 Sell 0

(A Top Pick Jan 6 /17, Down 29.59%) When you buy cyclical, you need to be prepared when it goes the wrong way. This is still a world class company. They have done a lot of innovation through the years, return on capital has been very consistent for many years, and of course the last few years haven’t been great. The services companies are really tough, they are the first ones to get cut, and then when things starts to get better they are the last ones to go up. Energy didn’t quite have as good a year as they thought and services got left behind.
