Cheap stock19 Jun 2018 18:34
I think Wentworth is one of the most overlooked E&Ps on AIM/LSE. The development of the asset was slow, and the ramp up was slow and payments were slow. All these factors seem to have resulted in that investor lost interest in the stock. But I think now that the stock is very interesting due to a few reasons:
First, production so far in 2018 is outperforming guidance.
Secondly, payments have been more consistent in 2018. Which has resulted in a rapidly improved balance sheet. The company should be net debt free during 2018.
Thirdly, there seems to be more demand for gas in the next 12 month which could support an increase in production guidance.
The stock is now where cheap on cash flow to enterprise value multiples and other metrics.
Furthermore, the company has moved the management from Calgary to London to reduce cost. I think this process has unintentionally resulted in that the company has not been out meeting investor much, the past 6 months. As the CEO and CFO left the company when the office move was decided.
The stock isnt moving much but investors will eventually recognize that it's among the cheapest E&P on AIM/LSE.
