Hewlett Packard is an oil stock? A couple pages ago maybe 20 a reader asked you Van should they get back into energy stocks you said yes/ I don't have to tell you what happened-- That same reader asked me what to do with a certain position which I said SELL. And saved that reader a fortune./ So we must be careful what we say. Since I am the only one who has perfectly called the oil moves so far to the dollar! I should probably take the ball here.
Trading below tangible book value with decent operational and growth trends. Positioned for additional energy and infrastructure spending in the Mid-Atlantic region. Undervalued due to minuscule ~$20m market cap, which makes it "uninvestable" for institutional firms. Business Overview Energy Services of America (NASDAQ:ESOA) is a dirt cheap holding company with exposure to two different types of infrastructure. Based in Huntington, West Virginia ESOA operates two service companies,CJ Hughesfor pipeline construction and maintenance and another,Nitro Electric, which handles electrical and mechanical services. Revenue split is about 50/50. From the 10-K issued in December: Wholly owned subsidiary C.J. Hughes is a general contractor primarily engaged in pipeline construction for utility companies. C.J. Hughes operates primarily in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Nitro Electric, Inc. ("Nitro Electric"), a wholly owned subsidiary of C. J. Hughes, is an electrical and mechanical contractor that provides its services to the power, chemical and automotive industries. Nitro Electric operates primarily in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. CJ Hughes builds and maintains but does not own intrastate pipelines and sewer systems in the vicinity of the Marcellus Shale. So we're looking at a relatively asset-light, regionally focused subsidiary, which services some pretty big corporate energy, chemical, and utility names, as well as some (probably more predictable) municipal and state customers.

Crypto lending platform Genesis has disclosed its loan exposure to Three Arrows Capital, the crypto hedge fund that recently filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy after a raft of liquidations. The loans to 3AC "had a weighted average margin requirement of over 80%," Genesis CEO Michael Moro wrote in a twitter thread Wednesday. "Once they were unable to meet the margin call requirements, we immediately sold collateral and hedged our downside," he added. The total loan amount was not confirmed. Furthermore, Genesis' parent company Digital Currency Group was said to assume some liabilities of Genesis "to ensure we have the capital to operate and scale our business for the long-term," Moro said. And Genesis is "pursuing all strategies to recover any potential residual loss," Moro added. In a backdrop of an increasingly cold crypto winter, Genesis could be facing losses into the "hundreds of millions" given its exposure to 3AC as well as Babel Finance, another crypto lender that has suspended client withdrawals, CoinDesk reported on June 29. At the end of June, Three Arrows Capital was ordered to liquidate.

Survey shows ammo demand continues to increase, says B. Riley 07:47 SPWH, VSTO, AOUT B. Riley analyst Eric Wold completed a nationwide survey of 112 firearms and ammo dealers to better gauge the current state of ammo demand and the near-term outlook for the industry. Investors are not confident in the sustainability of pandemic-driven ammo demand as economies reopen and retail inventory levels continue to improve, but this is already reflected in the low valuation multiples assigned to the group, Wold tells investors in a research note. According to the survey results, 67% of respondents noted that ammo sales are the same or higher than last year's elevated levels, with 37% noting that ammo sales are increasing further, Wold tells investors in a research note. He views the current entry points for Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings (SPWH) and Vista Outdoor (VSTO) as "incrementally attractive" and reiterates Buy ratings on the stocks. Wold keeps a Neutral rating on American Outdoor Brands (AOUT) but acknowledges that strengthening shooting sports participation bodes well for overall firearms industry product and accessories demand over the long run.

Shell revises up value of oil and gas assets ahead of July 28 results 05:56 SHEL Shell said in a trading update ahead of its July 28 results that it would reverse up to $4.5B in writedowns on oil and gas assets after it raised its energy prices outlook following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. "In the second quarter 2022, Shell has revised its mid and long-term Oil and Gas commodity prices reflecting the current macroeconomic environment as well as updated energy market demand and supply fundamentals. This resulted in a review of Shell's Upstream and Integrated Gas previously impaired assets." In the update before second quarter results, Shell said its refining margins almost tripled over the period, boosted by recovering global demand from the pandemic, a lack of refining capacity and lower fuel exports from Russia. Earnings from oil and refined products trading were expected to be strong in the quarter but lower than the first quarter of 2022, Shell said. Shell's indicative refining margin rose in the second quarter to $28.04 per barrel from $10.23 a barrel in the first quarter and $4.17 a year earlier. The upgrade will result in post-tax impairment reversals of $3.5B-$4.5B. Shell also announced that the share buyback program of $8.5B announced for the first half of 2022 was completed on July
