- Wednesday, January 9, 3:29 PM Chesapeake Energy (CHK +1.5%) shares spike higher on heavy volume after news of J.P. Morgan's two-notch upgrade to Overweight from Underweight. 11 Comments [Energy, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
- Monday, January 7, 5:35 PM Chesapeake Energy (CHK) discloses it is substantially reducing executive annual incentive compensation for 2012, during which CEO Aubrey McClendon will receive no bonus. McClendon also will reimburse CHK for his personal use of company aircraft in excess of $250K. 13 Comments [Energy]
- Monday, December 31, 2012, 10:44 AM The Chesapeake (CHK -1.6%) board's probe into CEO Aubrey McClendon's deals with the company is expected to end in mid-January and is unlikely to lead to McClendon's ouster, "a person close to the board" tells the WSJ. The fact the probe has been led by Burns Hargis, who supervised McClendon's Chesapeake deals, has bothered some investors. Top shareholders Southeastern Asset Management and Carl Icahn have been pushing for governance improvements. (SEC inquiry) 4 Comments [Energy]
- Monday, December 24, 2012, 9:45 AM Jim Chanos - a bell-ringer in 2009 when he said there was nothing left to short - says there's plenty to keep his firm busy now. Avoid leveraged natural gas companies "like the plague," he says. Their balance sheets may look okay thanks to perverse accounting rules, but cash flows tell a different story. "It's a pretty good bet" he's short any leveraged players that were buying gas properties 5 years ago and looking to sell now. 8 Comments [Energy]
- Monday, December 17, 2012, 4:52 PM Chesapeake Energy Corporation (CHK) declares $0.0875/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 2.09%. For shareholders of record Jan. 15. Payable Jan. 31. Ex-div date Jan. 11. (PR) 1 Comment [Dividends]
- Friday, December 14, 2012, 2:28 PM Chesapeake Energy (CHK) says it will offer buyouts to 275 employees, the third round of staff cuts it has made in six months as it struggles to keep costs in line amid lower natural gas prices. The move also could have been prompted by CHK not meeting its desired price for pipeline and midstream assets it recently sold (I, II), analyst Phil Weiss says. 3 Comments [Energy]
- Thursday, December 13, 2012, 8:30 AM Plains All American (PAA) acquires Eagle Ford crude oil and condensate gathering assets from a subsidiary of Chesapeake Energy (CHK) for ~$125M. The acquired assets include ~40 miles of crude oil and condensate gathering pipelines with a throughput capacity of ~50K bbl/day; 150K barrels of existing storage capacity and 300K barrels of capacity under construction. PAA +1.8% premarket. Comment! [Energy, M&A, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 2:41 PM S&P and Moody's weigh in to affirm the credit rating of Access Midstream (ACMP -4.7%) after the natural gas partnership buys most of Chesapeake's (CHK -0.3%) remaining natural gas and crude oil gathering assets for $2.16B and Williams Cos. (WMB -0.4%) acquires a stake in ACMP for $2.4B. S&P also affirms WMB’s rating, while Fitch says it expects no rating change. 1 Comment [Energy, On the Move]
- Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 10:29 AM Among energy companies tracked by 24/7, the sharpest increases in short interest came in top pipeline MLPs Kinder Morgan (KMP) and Enterprise (EPD). With the pipeline partnerships’ business model a proven winner, the increase in short interest looks like a bet against the pipeline companies based on debt levels and shrinking cash flows as demand slackens. 11 Comments [Energy]
- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 5:43 PM Chesapeake Energy (CHK) agrees to sell a substantial majority of its remaining midstream assets to Access Midstream Partners (ACMP) for ~$2.16B; the assets are located primarily in the Marcellus, Utica, Eagle Ford, Haynesville and Niobrara shale plays. CHK also anticipates completing the sale of its remaining midstream assets by the end of Q1 2013 for ~$425M. CHK +0.3% AH. 18 Comments [Energy, M&A]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 2:19 PM Shell (RDS.A) is looking forward to many years of production from acreage it recently bought from Chesapeake Energy (CHK) and plans to add more drilling rigs, the head of Shell's Americas operations says. The properties currently produce 26K boe/day, low by industry standards, but Shell believes the land could produce much more, and expects the rig count to hit 10. 1 Comment [Energy]
- Tuesday, November 20, 2012, 7:18 AM Carl Icahn ups his stake in Chesapeake Energy (CHK) to 8.89% from 7.56% previously. Shares +2.3% premarket. (13D) 6 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 12:37 PM North American gas producers are killing their commodity’s big rally by opening more wells, putting the U.S. on track toward record gas supplies this year, according to a Bloomberg analysis. The 44% price rise in natural gas between Sept. 10 and Oct. 30 stalled as Chesapeake (CHK) and others added output in areas such as the Marcellus shale; COP and ECA brought back curtailed output. 12 Comments [Energy, Commodities]
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 8:31 AM The Utica shale, where Chesapeake Energy (CHK) owns drilling rights to 1.2M acres with roughly a third in a zone it has described as rich in oil, is now considered unlikely to drive a major increase in its oil production. Utica will be "one of our foundational plays for decades," CEO Aubrey McClendon says, but if there's oil to be had there, it would be collected with the help of other companies. 3 Comments [Energy]
- Tuesday, November 13, 2012, 2:11 PM Hedge fund manager Mohnish Pabrai nearly tripled his holdings of Chesapeake Energy (CHK +1.5%) during Q3 and now owns nearly 3M shares of the embattled company. His purchase prices were in the $16.83-$20.52 range, with an estimated average price of $19.08. 5 Comments [Energy, On the Move]
- Friday, November 9, 2012, 5:18 PM From Chesapeake Energy's (CHK) just-filed 10-Q: "We project that our capital expenditures will continue to exceed our operating cash flow through 2013... we may not reach our previously announced goal of $9.5 billion by year-end 2012 until 2013." 6 Comments [Energy]
