We highlighted insider buying at Gear Energy (GXE) in our weekly Globe and Mail Who is Buying and Selling feature on September 21st. The article was based on the September 17th INK morning report where we note that Gear has recovered from a disappointing Q1 and insiders have been buying. Their continued enthusiasm suggests the stock remains undervalued despite a recent rally. Below is our 90 second video summary of our report that featured Gear.

Script (check against delivery):
Gear Energy is targeting heavy oil in the Lloydminister area of Alberta and Saskatchewan, light and medium oil in Central Alberta and light oil Southeast Saskatchewan. In Q2 it produced 4,104 barrels of oil per day of heavy oil representing 57% of total production and 2,166 bbl/day of light and medium crude making up 30% of production. Total production averaged 7,161 barrels of oil equivalent per day up 4% from the same period last year. It was record production for the firm, and it also represented a recovery from a disappointing Q1. The share price peaked for the year on April 23rd at 87 cents and went to set a low of 41 cents on August 19th. Insiders were buying around that time and included a 2.5 million share purchase by oil patch entrepreneur Don Gray at 49 cents. An insider was also buying Monday September 16th as crude oil was surging. That suggests to us that the stock likely remains undervalued. According to Refintiv data the stock started trading the week at trailing 12-month price-to-cash flow ratio of 1.9, well below the market average of 9.0. Although the stock does not pay a dividend, later this week the company is hoping to get the green light from shareholders to allow it to potentially start buying back shares. Our report which is not a recommendation to buy or sell securities is available through INKResearch.com or the Canadian Insider Club. Good luck friends and thanks for listening!
