MART RESOURCES $0.76 – Toronto symbol MMT

MART RESOURCES $0.76 (Toronto symbol MMT; TSINetwork Rating: Speculative) (403-270-1841; www.martresources.com; Shares outstanding: 340.3 million; Market cap: $258.6 million; No dividends paid) trades at a low multiple to cash flow. That reflects investor concern about unstable Nigeria.

Right now, Mart is producing oil from its 50%-held Umusadege field in southern Nigeria.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, Mart’s revenue jumped 237.2%, to $46.8 million from $13.9 million a year earlier. Cash flow per share rose sharply, to $0.125 from $0.028. Mart’s production rose 126.5%, to 446,981 barrels, and oil prices rose.

As mentioned, Mart’s exposure to Nigeria entails considerable risk. However, even though the stock is up 90% since early October, it trades at just 1.5 times Mart’s forecast annual cash flow.

Mart is a buy, but only for highly aggressive investors.
