GuruFocus Profitability Rank ranks how profitable a company is and how likely the companyÂ’s business will stay that way. It is based on these factors:

1. Operating Margin
2. Trend of the Operating Margin (5-year average). The company with an uptrend profit margin has a higher rank.
••3. Consistency of the profitability
4. Piotroski F-Score
5. Predictability Rank•

The maximum rank is 10. A rank of 7 or higher means a higher profitability and may stay that way. A rank of 3 or lower indicates that the company has had trouble to make a profit.

Profitability Rank is not directly related to the Financial Strength Rank. But if a company is consistently profitable, its financial strength will be stronger.

Equal Energy: Still Undervalued with Several Near-Term Catalysts
November 21, 2012
- Equal Energy: Still Undervalued With Several Near-Term Catalysts
Introduction: Equal Energy (EQU) is currently in the final stages of an ongoing strategic review that has been the subject of many prior articles authored both by myself and Nawar Alsaadi, the leader of the activist shareholder group that has been lobbying for change. Equal's shares remain significantly undervalued. As will be shown in much more detail below, $6.20 per share is a reasonable mid-point estimate for Equal's long-term fair value, while the shares currently trade at around $3.30 per share.

Equal Energy: Deep Value with a 6-Week Catalyst
July 9, 2012
- Equal Energy: Deep Value With A 6-Week Catalyst
Executive Summary: The stock market is currently offering anyone who's paying attention an unusually attractive buying opportunity. The purchase of Equal Energy (EQU) equity at $2.78/share offers investors an expected 6-week return in the range of 47% - 57%, which corresponds to an expected annualized return in the range of 410% - 489%. Furthermore, this extremely high expected short-term return is coupled with very good long-term downside protection, as the NAV of the underlying oil and gas assets is over $4/share even using a very conservative set of commodity price, discount rate, and production cost assumptions. Therefore, the probability of a permanent capital loss is very low. Read more...

Business Description

Equal Energy was incorporated on April 8, 2010 under the ABCA and did not carry on any active business prior to the Arrangement, other than executing the arrangement agreement pursuant to which the Arrangement was implemented. On January 1, 2011, Equal Energy amalgamated with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Equal Energy Corp. The Company is a geographically diversified exploration and production company with oil and gas properties located principally in Alberta, and Oklahoma. The Company plans to exploit its three proven resource plays with near term drilling in the Oklahoma liquids rich Hunton play, and in Alberta in the light oil plays of Cardium and Viking. With this focus on light oil, Equal expects its cash flow netback to improve as new oil wells are drilled. During 2012 the Corporation plans to execute a joint venture on its Mississippian lands with an industry partner and begin drilling its Mississippian light-oil play in Oklahoma. Equal Energy's competitors include resource companies which may have greater financial resources, staff and facilities than those of Equal Energy. The oil and gas industry is subject to environmental regulations pursuant to applicable legislation.
