Field Point Petroleum Announces
3rd Quarter Results
SmallCap
Digest has decided to increase our near term target to $3.00
per share based on 3rd Quarter results and an imminent rebound
of the beaten down oil and gas sector. This represents a 50%
increase from Monday's closing price of $2.00 and 55% from when we recommended
the company at $1.90 per share. We have upped the near term
target due to the company's continued success and resiliency in the past
nine months. In addition the sector is poised for a rebound in 2002
when production will be cut and prices trend north.
A quick look at a chart of FieldPoint
as compared to the Oil Index tells the whole story. Both FieldPoint
and the Oil Index are camped on their support levels for 2001. Note that
FieldPoint
ran up to its all time high of $2.80 about six months prior the spring
2001 oil index highs. Oil and oil service stocks are rebounding strongly
right now on announcements of production cutbacks from Norway and Mexico.
FieldPoint Petroleum (OTC BB:
FPPC)
reported third quarter and nine month financial results today.
Someone forgot to tell CEO Ray Reaves that his company is not suppose to
be flourishing when the oil and gas sector has been taking a beating .
Then again, if you had followed FieldPoint Petroleum in the past
you would know that growth and profitability are the company's trademarks.
Considering the dismal year for the oil and gas industry, FieldPoint's
results prove that well run companies survive and flourish in any market
environment.
With revenues up 64% and positive
cash flow up 40% for the first nine months of 2001, FieldPoint's
growth is rapidly outpacing the competition, and therefore the stock could
appreciate rapidly as oil prices climb back up.
The SmallCap Digest issued
a focus report on FieldPoint last week. If you missed the
focus report make sure you review this company by clicking
here . For investors looking to diversify their portfolios it
is critical to make sure that investing in different sized companies is
just as important as investing in different sectors. This is why we decided
to present a profitable growth company in a very conservative sector. Although
FieldPoint
is
in the Microcap arena, the company has exhibited qualities that point towards
future success.
We were impressed with FieldPoint
before this quarter's numbers came out but we are now even more bullish.
Why you ask? As the old saying goes, "It's all in the numbers baby".
Here are some highlights in today's announcement that investors need to
pay close attention to:
Quarterly revenue increased 51%
versus same period last year.
Nine month revenues increased 64%
versus
the same period last year.
Nine month cash flow from operations
increased 40% over the same period last year.
Oil and gas production increased by
55%
for the nine months versus same period last year.
FieldPoint's results are impressive.
It is important to understand the
numbers. FieldPoint was able to increase business and grow
like gangbusters in a time when everyone is struggling. If the company
can perform in such a negative market what will happen when prices return
to their historical levels? Oil and gas price increases is a certainty
but the big question is the timing. When will oil be $25 a barrel
and gas at $10 (mcf). Everyone wants to know and if you have the answer
please share it with all of us.
For those of us that do not have
a crystal ball their are certain rules to investing that will allow for
greater success. Investors should own companies that execute and
perform well in any environment. Owning quality companies will help alleviate
much of the guessing involved with market timing and grants the investor
a piece of mind. FieldPoint is a quality company that has
remained relatively unknown to the investing However, performance
speaks louder than words. FieldPoint will continue to make
money, grow revenues, increase cash flows, and make smart business decisions.
At the rate that the company is growing it may not be to long before FieldPoint
loses its anonymity.
