Thank you for subscribing to the Cabot Turnaround Letter. We hope you enjoy reading the September 2021 issue.
While the stock market continues to set new record highs, oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) companies have been left behind. Yet, at current commodity prices, which we believe are sustainable, several companies have shares that trade at surprisingly high free cash flow yields, some as high as 24%. We make our case for five stocks.
Related to this, our featured recommendation is Marathon Oil Company (MRO), a mid-cap oil-focused E&P company. Its strong fundamentals, including a high-quality asset base, strong free cash flow and a solid balance sheet, make it particularly attractive.
We highlight three former Cabot Turnaround Letter winners whose shares have retreated since our exit. These now look interesting once again.
In this issue we also discuss three one-off contrarian ideas that have considerable appeal.
During the month, we had a few ratings changes: we moved Berkshire Hathaway (BRK/B) to a Hold, and moved Albertsons (ACI) and Oaktree Specialty Lending (OCSL) from Buy to Sell.
