@GavMcCracken The call volume is still exploding daily, only speeds things along. I was fortunate enough to buy calls at the absolute bottom a couple of weeks ago, up 200%+ recently.
Oh man the gamma is going to rip faces off. Between $10-$12.5 USD each +1% is almost 200k USD of market market money required to keep Delta neutral (hedge).
Meanwhile 18% of the float is sold short and we all know who is buying momentum
so uh, $OBE begins hitting the large amounts of unhedged market maker gamma in the range between $10.00 USD and $12.5 USD.
@citsecurities I hope you're not on the other side of this bet against me a second time in a row.
$obe trading significantly below NAV, hedges rolling off, extreme pricing tailwinds coming, zero taxes, buying back shares, increasing production, improving decline rates, EV/2026 FFO ~ 3.5x, and FFO remains roughly 50-60% above maintenance capex, meaning they have 50-60% more excess cash for reinvestment, buybacks, debt reduction, dividend, etc after accounting for maintenance costs
2026 forecasted FFO is $315m with maintenance capex spend of $175m assuming $75 WTI
2027 forecasted FFO is $500m with maintenance capex spend of $240m off just $70 WTI because of increased production coming online …
They have 61m net shares..
If OBE does buybacks for 12 months and has elevated EPS from higher for longer oil prices, you could see a 6x+ multiple, not 3.5x.. And at a 6x multiple with annual 2027 FFO of 500m CAD and with 55M shares projected (9 million shares bought back would cost around $100-$120m assuming range is between $15-20 per share, which is very manageable) that gets you a value of…
$54.55/share compared to < 13/share today.. (500 x 6 / 55m = $54.55 CAD)
