	If only things were so rosy. The oil and gas business is still a bit mixed. As the world went into recession the producing companies looked to save money by doing less work and forcing down input prices. They also abandoned some projects as the oil price dropped and they became uneconomic (eg oil sands). Both these have some momentum and a move out of recession and a rise in the oil price have yet to kick back in. Many supplier companies are riding this out by cutting costs themselves, often having to trim capacity at the same time. Things should recover slowly.

	I’ve only had a quick look at the interim accounts to June 2009 but my feeling is that the SP is depressed because income is way down on the equivalent 6 months to June 2008 (£19.6m vs. £35.2m). Also, since the sale of Gibson, they have become an operationally ‘tighter’ company, far more dependent on drilling activity than the oil price itself. They are now sitting on a £414m cash pile that they so far haven’t put to work. In fact cash represents some 75.9% of net assets as at June 30. Arguably Hunting’s become more of a trust fund than an actively trading/investing company. Most of the money I ever made was in HTG, sitting quietly on it between 2004-8. But I get the feeling they have been slow to react to the recent massive market changes. More \| View thread (5) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down

	It's simply a correction to it's significant fall last week. The company is still massively undervalued. I bought in last Thursday or Friday, I forget which. More \| View thread (5) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down
