Harvest Natural Resources has the Highest Forward Earnings Yield in the Oil & Gas Exploration & Production Industry (HNR, PER, ECT, SGY, APA)


Mar 08, 2013 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) -- Below are the three companies in the Oil & Gas Exploration & Production industry with the highest forward earnings yields. Using projected earnings for the current fiscal year, the forward earnings yield is useful to compare a stock's return vs. owning a similar stock or other yield assets (e.g. bonds). Generally, the higher the earnings yield, the more undervalued the stock.Harvest Natural Resources ranks highest with a forward earnings yield of 17.5%. Following is SandRidge Permian Trust with a forward earnings yield of 16.1%. ECA Marcellus Trust ranks third highest with a forward earnings yield of 15.0%.



Stone Energy follows with a forward earnings yield of 13.1%, and Apache rounds out the top five with a forward earnings yield of 12.4%.

SmarTrend recommended that its subscribers protect gains by selling shares of Apache on February 15th, 2013 by issuing a Downtrend alert when the shares were trading at $78.39. Since that call, shares of Apache have fallen 3.5%. We are now looking for when a new Uptrend will commence and will alert SmarTrend subscribers in real time.
