In this cashflow estimate Connacher is well priced by the market because | |||||||||
there is more risk and no discount in ratio wrt ENCANA | |||||||||
I do not know what the cashflow will be You do your own cashflow estimate and you can compute your share price | |||||||||
Remember you have the estimate from the market and that is 222 M$ on plateau production algar included | |||||||||
Taking Encana is doing Connacher a favor | |||||||||
Encana has lower cost of debt and capital | |||||||||
Encana has lower risk due to better finantial security and better risk management | |||||||||
Encana achieves economies of scale | |||||||||
2/3 of Encana is gas and the capex/cashflow for gas is better than in oilsands in situ | |||||||||
The growth rate of a business is not dependant on size but on its freecashflow wrt capex for growth. (see wallmart) | |||||||||
Encana oil and Connacher have stricly the same integrated economics except that scale favors ENCANA |
