Neither $CWC.V nor $ESN.TO had competitive equipment. I think $STEP.TO & $CFW.TO have better M&A prospects as they are more competitive and trade at extremely low multiples. If they get bigger/more liquid/complete upgrades = higher multiple in my opinion.
Could be $PD.TO. Heard from the grapevine that Brookfield may have sold their $CWC.V block. If he bought it via OTC that would explain why we can't see anything obvious.
NCP suspects the last four transactions in Canadian energy have had insider trading: $TVE.TO$PIPE.TO$CWC.V$ESN.TO. Note how the two OFS names were bid up to the exact takeover price while TVE rallied miraculously a day before. "Leaky data rooms" 😬
..and note, I used 'fleeced', not 'piped'.
It's pretty bad when new verbs are used to describe a shareholders outcome in the O&G sector.
$CWC.V outcome is hardly anything to cheerlead here, nor defend in advance (which many did).

$CWC.V@CwcEnergy says the biggest challenge for their service & drilling rigs will be finding employees while keeping costs redeemable - an issue being reported across the board in OFS. #OOTT#OFS
18 out of the 36 companies in the Industrial Products & Services sector on TSX Venture generated positive cash flow.

What Didn't Work in Q1
$KIDZ.V$ZOMD.V - AdTech as whole was a nightmare. Not only did top line collapse the gross margin profile came in
$CWC.V$STEP.TO - Market is sniffing out peak earnings (insider selling doesn't help...)
$SPN.V - Growth w Margin Decay (real 2021 feel)
Yup. Just money leaving the space once WTI price cracked.
With the leverage on balance sheet always going to move more.
$CWC.V still my favourite though.
$AKT.A - Monster Q4
OFS pricing continues to go through the roof.
49% pricing increases YoY in US market alone.
Balance sheet is a mess not great setup in choppy market.
Still love the space though
Drillers - $CWC.V$SDI.V
Pumpers - $STEP.TO
All under 2x NTM EBITDA.
Canadian well completions were up in February y-o-y unlike in January where they were down. Also unlike in 2022, February came in above January. Licensing trends remain strong and new spuds are higher.
