Range Resources: Over Priced And Technically Vulnerable

Mon, 05/07/2012 - 04:49 EDT - Seeking Alpha

By David White:Range Resources (RRC) is primarily a natural gas company. Production is approximately 78% natural gas, 16% natural gas liquids (NGLS), and 6% oil. Range Resources has some great natural gas resources, which are primarily in the Marcellus Shale. Unfortunately for Range Resources US natural gas prices have fallen from a high last summer of approximately $4.98 /mmBTU to today's $2.28/mmBTU. It is not hard to envision what this has done to profits. RRC managed to post an adjusted EPS of $0.15 for Q1 2012, but its financial statement (with the GAAP numbers) gives a more sanguine picture of what has been happening at the company. The net income for RRC by quarter is below:

Q2 2011 was $51,293,000.
Q3 2011 was $34,755,000.
Q4 2011 was a loss of -$2,989,000.
Q1 2012 was a loss of -$41,800,000.

The Q1 2012 result was with an Income Tax Benefit of +$27,843,000. The IncomeComplete Story »

In the U.S., 2010 will be remembered as the year of natural gas production. Nat gas prices marched lower as independent oil and gas producers furiously spent capital on bringing shale acreage to held by production, a provision in leases perpetuating a company's ability to operate acreage. In 2011, producers are going to be more selective in how and where they spend. They've laid the foundation by locking up acreage and will be able to pick and choose development based on pricing.

We Would Sell Range Resources
ByUlfberht Capital:We often look not only for the best stocks the markets have to offer but we also look to avoid the worst stocks the markets have to offer. Theoretically, if an investor was to buy only the best 400 out of the 500 S&P 500 stocks, by excluding the worst 100 stocks, he could consistently beat the market. We believe that knowing what stocks/sectors to avoid is half the battle when it comes to getting good risk adjusted returns.

Range Resources: Why Selling Barnett Makes Sense
Range Resources (RRC) is giving up 113 mcfe a day of natural gas production capacity with its 52k acre Barnett Shale sale.
