Investors sometimes lose sight of long term trends by following the noise of the 24 hour news cycle. Some investment journalists would have you believe its doom and gloom for energy prices after some pull back in the sector recently. However, Truist managing director of energy research, Neal Dingmann told Yahoo Finance Live the supply shortfall resulted from the ban on Kremlin’s natural gas could bump crude prices “well over $150” per barrel.
“I think you are going to see supply upended, if not at the end of the year, if not before. I think that has the potential to cause oil prices to even spike higher than what we just saw a couple months ago.”
Dingmann predicted gas prices could rise “potentially 50%” if the U.S. doesn’t have an alternate source for Russian oil. According to Dingmann that is not likely because America “certainly” does not have the ability to expand domestic oil production.
Some of the pullback in energy equities could be due to how high they ran up earlier this year. However, there is one energy stock in the news yet to gain a major following, that could be considered extremely undervalued.
Houston Natural Resources Corp. (OTCMKTS: HNRC) has net assets that indicate a company worth $2.39/share…the stock currently trades under $0.20/share.
HNRC’s TTM EPS is $0.27. Rarely do you see stocks trading below EPS, and energy stocks trade at a PE of 17.8. At that ratio, HNRC would be $4.80 per share.
HNRC’s latest news, however, points to a company that is certainly undervalued. HNRC announced it will be spinning off its Non-Energy Assets into a separate company. Due to the size of these assets ($53 million) the company expects an opening share price of around $5. In the terms of the spinoff HNRC shareholders of record prior to the end of Q3 will receive $1.75 worth of equity in the new company for every HNRC share they own.
The spinoff dividend alone would pay a triple-digit premium on shares at this price. HNRC investors can expect value from not only the dividend, but the growth of its remaining energy-focused assets.
So if investors were to purchase shares today at 20 cents, they would realize massive price gains on the dividend. This is of a stock that could be $2.39 based on book value, and $4.80 based on earnings. Any way you slice it, investors would be wise to start research on HNRC.

HNRC was not the only energy penny making massive news, after a long 8 year wait, Transocean Ltd. (NYSE: RIG) made history summer by accepting delivery of the world’s first eight-generation drillship, Deepwater Atlas.
