 PXD (PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES)

  • P/E: N/A
  • GAAP DILUTED Y-O-Y EPS GROWTH LAST QUARTER: $.67
  • SECTOR: ENERGY MINERALS
  • ASSETS-LIABILITIES: 1.58
  • DIVIDEND: .04%

Pioneer Natural Resources has recently made the jaw-dropping switch from negative EPS to positive with its last quarter. Situated in the largest oil-producing region in the US, the company is utilizing its good fortune to produce profits. The company has a good balance sheet, a wealth of resources, and a business model which has afforded it growth.
This last quarter does not mark the first occasion on which Pioneer has posted a profit. In 2014, and 2012, Pioneer posted a positive EPS for the full year. While the 2016 oil and gas revenues have grown from 2015, the 2014 and 2012 levels were higher. The company's revenue from oil and gas is largely based on market prices. In order to mitigate the market volatility, Pioneer has made efforts to reduce their cost of production, according to their earnings release.
According to Forbes, Pioneer is the 4th-largest producer of oil and gas in the United States. Pioneer has an EBITDA slightly below average for the largest 10 producers, however. However, Pioneer is cutting costs and increasing production, according to its Q4 earnings release, signaling that the company's business practices are improving.
In conclusion, my research of Pioneer has revealed that the company is improving, and has an impressive volume of production, while it does not have as good of margins as other comparable companies. Pioneer has posted a significant year-over-year gain in its last comparable quarter, and has a clean balance sheet. The company is steadily increasing is assets, finds itself located in the largest oil-producing region in the country, and has a track record of achieving very profitable years in the past.

    I guess if you disregard all costs and capital raises they may have profited. Are you in the business of alternate facts?

FL STOCK WRITE UP

FL (FOOT LOCKER) P/E: 15.2 GAAP DILUTED YO-Y EPS GROWTH LAST QUARTER: $.28 SECTOR: RETAIL TRADE ASSETS-LIABILITIES: 3.39 DIVIDEND: 1.68% According to statisticbrain, Foot Locker was the largest shoe retailer in the United States as of 8/13/2016. Foot Locker posted a 24.5% year-over-year EPS gain in the most recent quarter, meaning its successful business is still growing. The company has a low price-to-earnings multiple and a high rate of growth with solid financials, giving the stock room to climb. While many retail stores have faired poorly due to the recent emergence of Amazon and other online retailers, Foot Locker does not suffer because their services are hard to duplicate online. You can not try on a shoe from Amazon prior to purchasing, for example. For customers who do not need to try on the shoe, either because they have already purchased the same shoe, or have tried on shoes of the same brand, Foot Locker also sells shoes through Amazon. In th...
