Lower beta way to get exposure to oil and nat gas. Conservative. Attempting M&A in US, but balance sheets are so strong, fewer companies need royalty deals to raise cash. Strong organic growth prospects next year. Yield is 7.5%, payout ratio at low 60% range. Trades at 8.5x, compared to the unjustified 14x for PSK.
They pay for the royalty on the land for which they did a deal with the producer. He sold a couple of years ago when he sold most of his energy. It does not have the torque of a producer. It is a good way to play if you are not sure where the price is going. You could hold it for the dividend.
