Hey Guys,
Sorry I've been so MIA, but have been getting hit with calls after calls about the current situation of the shares.
I've confirmed with management right now it doesn't look like Orange sold any. Now we won't know exactly what caused this volume spike till next week monday... I know, painful weekend.
From what I can tell you and given my sources, I am 1000% sure it's not Baupost selling. I know a firm that sold a decent chunk when BXE was at $1.40 to reduce risk so that's another reason why you didn't see that big follow through on the stock when oil rallied. Unfortunately right now, you are just at the whims of the market.
I have attached my model below and what my expectations are for 2016. Please feel free to change price assumptions as you see fit.
A little bit more additional color on the earnings:
I thought it was fantastic given that my previous thesis that opex/boe would naturally decline due to the higher weighted Spirit River production. They are really cutting costs on all fronts, and have recently applied for an extension on the maturity of the credit line. All in all, things look pretty good.
But you wouldn't know that by looking at the stock price, it's quite frustrating but that's just what it is.
Propane prices are also expected to get MATERIALLY better. Remember, BXE spent half of the year last year with negative to below cost propane prices. They produce 3,000 boe/d of this stuff.
Lastly, on Raymond James. These guys are really bearish natural gas, so it's not a surprise.
The only question you can ask, and I've said this before, is can BXE survive? And from this quarterly report, the answer is yes.
