Q: Hi Peter
I have asked about PHX before as have others. But what do you make of the stock performance? In February they had a big increase in the dividend. The stock spiked up and then went into a continuous decline and has now declined to well below the price before the dividend. I looked at the RBC research report and the metrics look pretty decent compared with other drillers. Even so the have a "sector perform" on it. So is This a value trap or a bargain. If it is sound, it must be tempting as a takeover target. It has certainly declined more 20% which is your threshold to be concerned in your recent article.
