5i Research Answer:

EPS missed estimates of 16c coming in at a loss of 4c. Revenue beat estimates of $157.1M coming in at $158.17M declining 2% year-over-year. Because of depletion and other charges, cash flow is a better metric than earnings for energy producers. SGY had per share cash flow of 62c, down from 64c but certainly better than what the net loss implies. The company also confirmed 2024 production guidance. We think management is fine, however the stock will need commodity prices to pick back up in efforts for a turnaround. Mr. Colborne (CEO) has built and sold several companies within the sector. We would say HOLD for income. The debt reduction is still ontrack to finish by the end of this year while it is cheap and has an attractive yield. Management also seemed positive for on oil prices. But mostly it is valuation: the stock is very cheap on all metrics.
