I'll be off the net for awhile.
******************************
In addition to Kodiak's substantial production increases, earnings are increasing at a nice clip. The company earned 47 cents a share in FY2012 and should have earned ~65 cents a share for FY2013 when it reports its last quarterly earnings of the fiscal year at the end of this month. Analysts have over 90 cents a share in profit pegged for FY2014 in the current earnings consensus.
Given these significant increases in earnings & revenues, the stock is too cheap at just over 12x this year's expected earnings; a ~20% discount to the overall market multiple. The shares also have one of the lowest five year projected PEGs (.30) of the E&P stocks I cover. Finally I continue to believe the company would make a logical acquisition target if M&A activity in the sector picks up.Regular readers are very, very aware that operators have been putting in "seed corn" since 2007, at almost $2 billion/month in the Bakken. At some point that seed corn would be producing a crop ripe for harvest.
KOG has outstanding Bakken acreage, just not very much.
