- Shares of Chesapeake Energy have fallen from over $24 in November of 2014 to the present traded value of just above $5 per share.
- Chesapeake Energy’s senior unsecured debt has also plummeted over 50% in traded value in just the last 6 months.
- This report analyzes Chesapeake’s financial health and ability to withstand the oil and gas market price collapse.
- The findings expose critical issues concerning company production results, non-competitive cost structure, expiring derivative positions and royalty owner litigation.
We all know the market
prices for oil and gas are very depressed at present, approaching the lows
reached in the depths of the 2008 financial crisis. Chesapeake bottomed at $15 per share in the
2008 market carnage, but now is on a direct line toward $0. Why is the 2nd largest gas
producer in the U.S. having such difficulty coping with the present market
circumstances, whereas it survived the 2008 crisis?
